### 1/5 — Extremely Disappointed

*2024-11-18*

The app crashes whenever I try to restore purchase, which being a paying customer on the iPhone/iPad versions I have a right to. Also, the images are barely 1MB which is sad when working on a MacStudio. Also, the generative AI and Enhance filters are NOT available and those are the ones I exclusively use. To top it off, most images it generates with some of the filters have the face blacked out. What use is that???

**Developer response:** Our apologies for not meeting your expectations. 
        We appreciate your feedback and would like to offer our help in addressing any concerns. 
        Please contact us at support@photolabavatar.app, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

### 1/5 — No female professional avatars or profile

### 1/5 — Sorry

*2024-07-13*

### 1/5 — Limited

*2024-06-09*

Whereas it does create some very clear images, it lacks the range of its hype.
