Also, from their X account, last reply’s were from 2023, so maybe it’s abandoned project!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear that the Background Replacer and Image Extender features haven't met your expectations—we're actively working on improvements for these functions. We truly value your input and want to assure you that our project is alive and evolving.

The workspace where we brush or select the area to be edited is a little small in size in my opinion. It should be as wide as possible for easy drawing. And it might be better if more credit balances per month are added for a lifetime PRO subscription. Anyway, this is a nice AI app. ### 5/5 — MisterVF *2025-01-17, version 1.2.3* Awesome with excellent quality ### 1/5 — Buggy as hell, overpriced. *2025-01-16, version 1.2.3* The app is not fit for purpose. I was lucky enough or should I say unlucky enough to get it free for live on app advice daily, but it simply does not work. The app crashes, and lockers up and is mediocre at best. Don’t waste your time on the app, let alone any money. And on that note, a whisker under £1000 for this is crazy. I have my suspicions why this is priced so high. One or two of the features work ok, but if you’re looking for something reliable then don’t bother with this. Even today’s update did nothing to fix this pile of junk. Bugs still there. ### 5/5 — Great creative tool *2025-01-16* Does the job very effectively ### 5/5 — رهيييب 🔥 *2025-01-16, version 1.2.3* Initially, as a new user, it's a great app that I recommend downloading. 👍 مبدئيا وكمستخدم جديد تطبيق ممتاز جدا انصح بتحميله 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading Advertising — App Does Not Work as Promised *2026-05-14* I purchased this app because the advertising made it seem like I could easily create a consistent AI girl/influencer to promote products by typing prompts. The actual app does not function the way it’s advertised. Important features are either missing, locked, or do not work properly, and now the app is difficult to even find in the App Store. This feels misleading and disappointing, especially after paying for a subscription. Please be more transparent about what the app can actually do before charging people. ### 1/5 — Subscriptions cancelled *2025-09-17, version 3.2.2* Why is my lifetime free subscription plan cancelled? I joined in January 2025 ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-13, version 3.1.1* I bought the app and the recent update broke the registration. I contacted support and all I got was crickets; don’t waste your time and money, buy another app! ### 1/5 — Nice but they don't keep there promises *2025-04-29* I've just begun using it and it appears to be nice. However, for a Forever license, I'm puzzled as to why it's prompting me to upgrade and pay $9.99 weekly. Since I have a Forever license, I shouldn't be required to make any payments. ### 1/5 — Product user *2025-03-14, version 1.2.8* I received a free lifetime subscription from Apps Gone Free but after a period of time I started to be hounded for more money. I enjoyed the App but detest the dishonesty. ### 1/5 — Went from lifetime to sub *2025-02-21, version 1.2.5* Lying company that said would give me lifetime and yet it requires me to sub ? No they did it for good review first then removed it after they got what they wanted ### 1/5 — I have no access to the app *2025-02-14, version 1.2.5* You took away my lifetime subscription and now I have no access! ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2025-01-26, version 1.2.4* Great app but unaffordable for the average user ### 1/5 — Where is my free lifetime membership subscription..? *2025-01-24, version 1.2.4* Please help me ### 1/5 — Avoid, they just collect data *2025-01-17, version 1.2.3* App is useless , they creat this app to collect your information, there is no choice of saying No for data collection.Avoid, I am going to report this to the Apple . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-08* You tell app will make it ### 5/5 — Nice App *2025-12-23, version 3.5.11* excellent ### 5/5 — Best *2025-12-16, version 3.5.9* if you’re mobile YouTube creator, this is the best app for you. You could change your thumbnail super fun and a lot of more ### 5/5 — Best Among All *2025-11-25* its a beast app which is easy to use and loaded with powerfull AI Tools by which your Editing task will not take days to complete. And the main important thing is its affordable and provide several types of Low cost plan which any one can afford easily. As compare to other AI based editing apps its definately a better choice 👌👌 ### 5/5 — Error after the update.!!! *2025-10-06* An error message "invalid token" appears when using any tool in the app!! Please fix the problem. ### 5/5 — Best ai image editor *2025-09-11* This so has all image models ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-01-20* Really great, love making pictures clearer and HD. Updated version is a bit slow in saving photos. Please make it fast again. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback ### 5/5 — ok *2025-01-19, version 1.2.3* ok ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-01-18* I recommend ### 5/5 — Need much improvement *2025-01-17, version 1.2.3* I tried all functions , not good result, but enhancement image enough good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
