### 5/5 — This app keeps getting better!

*2026-08-30, version 3.12.125*

I have had this app for years. I bought it when it was first released on android and bought a lifetime VIP account. Now that I’ve switched to iPhone I have to pay an annual fee and only get limited credits. I don’t like that, but I still pay for it. It’s such quality work! I have to say that this app just keeps getting better. My hat is off to the developers with the AI too. I can now take a picture of someone and give the command “have them wear a birthday hat while riding an elephant” and it can do it! The graphics and effects are incredible. I use this app to make my Christmas Card. This is hands down my favorite photo app.

### 2/5 — App uses tech well but not appropriate for all age groups

*2026-08-30, version 3.12.125*

The app is too sexual in images and doesn’t do what it shows in the beginning when you see its abilities.

### 4/5 — Need one fix.

*2026-08-23, version 3.12.125*

I love this app, I use it many times a week. However, there isn’t anywhere that keeps the photos I have saved. I just used a ‘layered reality’ option, it cost 14 coins, and when the result was ready, “something went wrong” the photo was nowhere to be found and I was 14 coins poorer. Not cool.

### 5/5 — Ediciones Muñequita Angie

*2026-08-22, version 3.12.125*

Me gustan mucho pueden mejorar la rapides un poco mas esta lenta la applicacion

### 5/5 — lo mejor

*2026-08-21, version 3.12.125*

Muy buena

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-13, version 3.12.124*

One of my favorite apps .The yearly VIP MEMBERSHIP is worth every penny.

### 1/5 — Не загружаются фотографии

*2026-08-06, version 3.12.122*

Не загружаются фотографии после обновления приложения

### 5/5 — Application payante vers application gratuite complètement

*2026-08-05*

J’ai envie de faire des belles photos, mais il faut toujours que ça soit payant et en plus par semaine je vais pas être méchante mais faites des applications gratuites mais vraiment gratuit ou c’est pas payant. 
L’application elle est intéressante, mais si c’est pas peu pas l’utiliser, ça ne sert à rien, il y a des personnes qui ont pas forcément les moyens de payer une application par semaine. 
Je vous note quand même cinq étoiles parce que l’application est sympa, mais ça reste que ça. Alors si vous pouvez faire quelque chose, ça serait super sympa.

**Developer response:** Bonjour ! Notre application est gratuite et propose de nombreux effets gratuits, mais l’abonnement reste entièrement facultatif. Il permet de débloquer de nouveaux effets nécessitant davantage de ressources d’IA et considérés comme du contenu premium. Nous comprenons votre frustration et travaillons à simplifier l’accès à ce contenu premium !

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-05, version 3.12.122*

Amazing App, & I love each update

### 5/5 — Awesome
