### 4/5 — Expensive but ok

*2026-01-18, version 10.4.0*

Expensive but ok

### 2/5 — Very resticted

*2026-01-12, version 10.3.1*

I am told I violate yer rules when I have copiloted or Gemini write pictures description Here it I’s Welcome to Darker Wonderland: CD/DVD Cover The cover for "Welcome to Darker Wonderland" is a dense, high-contrast visual assault, perfectly summarizing the rage and chaos of the music. The central focus is the terrifying Corroded Copper Monitor. This is the "Digital Lie" made physical: a massive, antique machine of tarnished bronze and copper, violently tearing itself apart. Blinding blue-white electrical arcs flash across cracked panels, symbolizing the system failure. Simultaneously, thick, syrupy trails of red strawberry juice leak and glaze the metal, a sickeningly sweet liquid of corruption. In the immediate background, slightly blurred by the digital static, is Granimear—the ancient gnome, furious and tiny against the towering machine. He's caught in a moment of extreme, frantic headbanging, his long white beard and iconic red hat a streak of motion as he pounds out the 64-beat thrash on his Black Heart Bass Guitar. He is the source of the honest, uncompromising music battling the lie. Superimposed over the scene are the spectral figures of the Rastafarian Spider Monkey and his Ancestor. They represent the pure, spiritual rhythm that the digital lie attempted to deny and erase. Their presence is a ghostly reminder that the true "design" and the core "truth" endure beyond the faulty code. The title, WELCOME TO DARKER WONDERLAND, is rendered in a heavy, aggressive font, placed above the fray, grounding the chaos in your unique universe. The whole image is dark, visceral, and dripping with West Coast Rage. This it’s why I canceled the subscription It was the 15th try with both copilot and google creating the description

### 3/5 — No sabe escribir

*2025-10-30, version 10.1.0*

Le dictó una palabra la escribe mal, incompleta o con letras invertidas debe haber algún fallo en la aplicación

### 2/5 — Tolle Software, aber war schon mal besser! Starke Zensur!

*2025-09-28, version 8.6.0*

Piclumen ist auf verschiedenen Betriebssystemen nutzbar. Relativ schnell, aber auch mit Fehlern (wie sechs Finger, drei Beine und verdrehter Kopf). Leider wurde in der letzten Version die Anzahl der generierten Bilder auf zwei begrenzt. (Pro Durchgang). Sonst aber sehr gute Bildergebnisse.

Update: seit Mai 25 findet eine noch strengere Promptzensur statt, schon bei der Eingabe!

Leider findet eine recht strenge Zensur der Werke ohne Begründung statt.
Häufig gibt es auch keine Rückmeldung von Support!

### 2/5 — Expensive

*2025-09-20, version 8.6.0*

What’s with the massive price hike to 11.99?  
Getting greedy like every other company.

### 3/5 — Fehler

*2025-09-20, version 8.6.0*

Sehr gute App. Nur gibt es in letzter Zeit immer wieder Probleme mit dem Modell Primo. Seit heute nur noch verschwommene Bilder. Und in letzter Zeit wurden auch bei dem Modell einfach garkeine Bilder generiert. Und trotzdem werden einem die Lumen dafür abgezogen. Finde ich nicht in Ordnung

### 3/5 — Everything’s inappropriate when it’s really not

*2025-09-10, version 8.5.0*

I still wanna give this five stars. But sometimes when I am doing my workflow it gives me an inappropriate period I am a history channel. This is not inappropriate. If Ai filters want to rewrite history then that’s fine but stop being so woke. Please even the prompt enhancement doesn’t really help.

### 5/5 — Great Ai App

*2025-09-02, version 8.4.0*

Simple yet with complex results!

### 1/5 — Worthless. Can’t even TRY it

*2025-08-30, version 8.4.0*

Keeps saying sign up or look around a bit. If you don’t sign up. Look around a bit literally means just that. Look, you can’t do a thing!!

### 1/5 — Why Did Piclumen become a Cashgrab?

*2025-08-28, version 8.4.0*

I joined Piclumen around January or February because at the time it was the best value for text to image generation and the quality and quantity were also above the rest, but it has gradually been becoming no more than a cash grab with inflated tiers and high monthly fees, and with the latest update I’m not even allowed to access relaxed mode

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Scammy practices.

*2025-12-20, version 10.2.2*

I really liked the app at first. I tried several and had decided this one was the best for what I was doing.

I was getting 10lumines a day. And it was cost 2 to generate a type of image.

So buying 1500 was worth it to use until I decided to get a subscription. 

However, as soon as I bought 1500 the one generating cost skyrocketed to 12.

Which means I essentially got 250 lumens for the price not 1500.

That is a shockingly unethical trick. 

It is roughly the equivalent of seeing an item in a microtransaction shop for one price, then after buying the currency to buy the item, they raised the price by 600%.

I think Apple need to be made aware of this scam.

### 1/5 — Rubish app

*2025-11-07, version 10.1.1*

Waste of time and money

### 1/5 — Horrible AI

*2025-11-03, version 10.1.1*

AI is to be smart. Pic lumen AI is stupid. Can’t even understand human anatomy giving3 fingers instead of 5 fingers.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-10-24, version 10.0.1*

Does not create images anything like the prompt given.

### 1/5 — Overly restrictive

*2025-10-22, version 10.0.0*

I purchased an annual pro subscription but the content filters changed over time and were made much more restrictive. I paid for a certain level of freedom of creation but sadly this platform is now no better than ChatGPT. It was great but is now unusable.

### 1/5 — Refuses to generate my Prompts

*2025-10-17, version 9.0.0*

This App doesn’t do anything like the prompt you give it. It’s frustrating and annoying because last week it was doing beautifully and I would have given it 5 stars.
It must be Bugs that need fixing.

### 1/5 — Cant cancel subscription

*2025-10-09, version 9.0.0*

I love piclumen so I tried it for a month but I got busy, I stopped using it, I cant find the unsubscribe button. I kept getting charged of $5

### 1/5 — TRUFFATORI

*2025-09-26, version 8.6.0*

VERGOGNA, TRUFFATORI, DICONO TUTTI CHE È GRATUITA MA NON LO È AFFATTO, VA A CREDITI COME TUTTE

Here it I’s
 Welcome to Darker Wonderland: CD/DVD Cover
The cover for "Welcome to Darker Wonderland" is a dense, high-contrast visual assault, perfectly summarizing the rage and chaos of the music.

This it’s why I canceled the subscription

### 5/5 — It works well but not right

*2025-10-01, version 9.0.0*

It works well but it doesn’t do what you tell it to do like I asked for a basic Roblox noob and it gave me like basically a god noob or something I would just use a different ai app

### 5/5 — Love

*2025-09-22, version 8.6.0*

So much fun.

### 5/5 — the image generated is owesome and nice it is also can be recommended

*2025-09-03, version 8.4.0*
