They never turn out to look even similar to photo uploaded. Pixar version does a pretty good job though ### 4/5 — It’s kool *2025-01-24, version 12.6* It’s alright for simple pics. Not many to choose from, and even less that are free options. Would have liked more options because some of these appear to be the same pose/crop. ### 1/5 — Does not work at all *2024-11-02, version 12.6* Does not work. It replace your face, or try to improve the filter options to look like your uploaded photo. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2024-10-26, version 12.6* I bought this app, which I think is overpriced, because I wanted some professional photos. Well, there are minimal options and NONE for people of color, including me. I would like a refund, which I am aiming to do. ### 1/5 — The worst Lol *2024-09-23, version 12.5* Not like the ad at all. For perspective, I used to be a male model 8y ago so this AI shouldn’t have a hard time putting my face in different scenes. The AI doesn’t pick up your hair at all. Only nose and eyes plastered on their AI pics so it will look NOTHING like you. It’s comical how bad this is ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-09-16, version 12.5* Makes photos which look nothing like me at all. I want a refund. ### 2/5 — Comprei e pede pra eu pagar de novo *2024-08-28* Assinei por uma semana, descontou do cartão e não tenho acesso a remover watermark, ou as outras funcionalidades. Quando tento fazer isso manda eu comprar de novo. E se tento comprar diz que a nova compra só será válida após 04/9 quando acaba a semana que acabei de pagar pra usar. **Developer response:** Olá arendesign, sentimos muito pelo transtorno. 🙁 Parece que houve um erro técnico com a sua assinatura. Por favor, envie um e-mail para support@42dijital.com com os detalhes do seu problema. Vamos garantir que isso seja resolvido na próxima atualização. Agradecemos por nos informar! ### 1/5 — Worst purchase ever *2024-08-27, version 12.5* Just replace the face with existing templates. The end result is no where close to real pic. Lame app. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2024-08-27, version 12.5* Don’t even waste your time. This is a total Joke ### 1/5 — Wasted $6.99 *2024-08-14, version 12.4* I downloaded this to get professional headshots for my business. The generated photos look NOTHING like me. A waste of money ### 3/5 — Problema *2024-07-03* Eu desativei o aplicativo e tem uma cobrança pendente, eu não quero renovar. Como faço? **Developer response:** Oi MayyyMC, peço desculpas pelo transtorno. Por favor, envie um e-mail para support@42dijital.com com os detalhes da cobrança pendente. Vamos resolver isso rapidamente e garantir que sua preocupação seja atendida na próxima atualização. Obrigado por nos informar! 📧🛠 ### 1/5 — Race issues *2024-06-19, version 12.4* If your not white or straight haired, the app will make you that way anyway. ### 1/5 — Need options for African Americans *2024-06-08, version 12.4* Love the images but I am African American so my picture uploads are fair skinned when AI is applied. There’s nothing that will allow you to adjust body type. Could be better if you make these changes. ### 1/5 — Ohne Abo nicht brauchbar *2024-05-28* Man kann auch nicht mal kostenlos ein Foto testen, weil nur ein Farbbalken über den gesamten Bildschirm mit Werbung läuft. Es wird kein Ergebnis foto angezeigt wenn man das Abo nicht bestätigt **Developer response:** Hey R.Klenke, es tut uns wirklich leid zu hören, dass du Probleme mit der App hast. 😟 Wir möchten dir gerne weiterhelfen. Bitte schicke uns eine E-Mail an support@42dijital.com mit deinen Bedenken, damit wir uns das genauer anschauen und in einem kommenden Update verbessern können. Danke für dein Feedback! ### 1/5 — Rose *2024-05-17, version 12.4* Hard to use ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam, don’t download *2026-01-09, version 12.7* Scam, zero star ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-01-07, version 12.7* Never generated a single picture. Stuck on thinking. ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work at all *2025-11-01, version 12.7* Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-09-25, version 12.7* Thank god it was free trial. This is crazy bad and not working. How can they have 4 stars is beyond me ! ### 1/5 — A waste of my time and money. *2025-08-30, version 12.7* If I wasn’t a person of color and didn’t mind looking like an unrealistic white version of myself, this app would be fun and useful. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2025-06-27, version 12.6* Doesn't work ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-06-23, version 12.6* Malísima, dice que no tomará más de 60 segundos en crear una foto y dure como 5 minutos con varias fotos distintas. Yo creo que se equivocaron y son 60 minutos y no segundos. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-06, version 12.6* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Limited *2025-02-12, version 12.6* Not ideal as face changes dramatically ### 1/5 — Utterly useless and false advertising *2025-01-24, version 12.6* I required a headshot for a security pass in my new job. I thought this offered a service to take a regular photo and make it look more professional, but it’s completely useless. I’m Caucasian with dark hair and after uploading my photo it was providing me with photos of Asian women with blonde hair. Even the dark haired versions didn’t look anything like me, it was just like a filter turned up to 11 and I would have been entirely unrecognisable if I’d tried to use it as a security pass. Rubbish, please don’t waste your money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-02-22, version 12.7* This is the best ai photo generator ### 5/5 — Top *2025-02-01* Maravilhoso **Developer response:** Oi Ana, que bom que você está curtindo! 😊 Ficamos super felizes em saber que acha nosso produto maravilhoso. Se tiver alguma sugestão ou ideia, estamos aqui para ouvir. Aproveite ao máximo! 🌟 ### 5/5 — So Far…AWESOME *2024-10-26, version 12.6* I just started my free trial today. I’ve only made a couple of Halloween pictures so far ,but if all keeps going well, I will buy a subscription. I appreciate the free trial, because lately, there’s no free trials anymore for these apps, and they have you processing and uploading your pictures, wasting your valuable time, and then you get a pop-up of them wanting you to pay for it, BEFORE You can even view it to see what it’s going to look like. And I refuse to pay for something that I cannot preview first. So thank you for the free trial first!🙏🤗💋 ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-10-13, version 12.6* Had no idea thats what i looked like ### 5/5 — Cool *2024-08-12, version 12.4* Super cool ### 5/5 — Fun filters *2024-03-01, version 12.2* I like a lot of the filters so many to choose from ### 5/5 — hi *2024-02-24, version 12.2* good ig ### 5/5 — The best *2024-02-13, version 12.1* Best ### 5/5 — App *2024-01-08, version 12.0* It’s cool ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-12-28, version 11.9* It’s amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
