Not even worth the time it takes to download it. ### 1/5 — Frauds *2026-03-26, version 1.0.80* What a complete farce & frauds. I signed up for the 3 day FREE TRIAL & was immediately charged for a years subscription. ### 1/5 — This is a scam *2026-03-19, version 1.0.80* The app is a pure scam. DO NOT download it. ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-03-18, version 1.0.80* Nope ### 1/5 — Unauthorized renewal after cancellation *2026-02-27, version 1.0.80* Be ware that your card will be charged even if you cancel your free trial in time. I have disputed the charge and have been denied. ### 1/5 — Useless App *2026-02-21, version 1.0.80* You guys charged me for no reason, the app is not helpful and I am charged annual fees just to use during my free period without any notice. I need refund ### 5/5 — Marvelous *2026-01-19, version 1.0.79* Works great ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-01-19, version 1.0.79* I did the monthly subscription and I went in to delete the background and it did not work. Also tried to delete items from the background and that didn’t work either. Waste of money and time! ### 5/5 — Muy bien *2026-01-16, version 1.0.79* Genial ### 5/5 — Works Great *2026-01-14, version 1.0.79* Easy to use and works great for photo editing. I actually changed from two apps to using this because the end product is higher quality, even if the processing takes longer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What am I paying for? *2026-08-22, version 1.0.85* I got suckered into the year long plan. And everything I try to do requires the PRO PLAN! Nothing works for the plan that I paid for. What a rip off. ### 1/5 — Not a good App — strictly AI generated fake pics. *2026-07-27, version 1.0.84* Not a good app. All it focuses on is AI generated fake pics. Nothing based in reality. I just wanted to remove background and accidentally had to pay for a years subscription. A total waste. ### 1/5 — 3 day free trial SCAM it made me pay $20 to start the “free trial” *2026-07-10, version 1.0.84* Charged me when it was not supposed to. ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-06-29, version 1.0.84* Few minority images ( brown people except for Stephen Smith) ### 1/5 — I don't want this service *2026-06-15, version 1.0.84* I tried to request a refund and no one responded ### 1/5 — Never signed up *2026-06-10, version 1.0.84* App kept me from accessing my apple store ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2026-05-19, version 1.0.84* I needed a picture enhanced that was a little grainy. It was a scariest before and after I’ve ever seen. ### 1/5 — Horrible customer service *2026-05-14, version 1.0.84* Garbage app ### 1/5 — Don’t do the “Free” trial *2026-04-17, version 1.0.82* They will charge you for a year subscription before the trial is even over ### 1/5 — Didn’t get my free trial you charge my car immediately for the full amount *2026-04-06, version 1.0.80* I requested a refund cause I literally purchased the free trial three days and one minute later I got charged for the full amount.
