### 4/5 — Recht nützlich

*2026-05-25*

Für bestimmte Einsatzgebiete wirklich gut. Verbessern & vergrößern und kolorieren liefern für viele (nicht alle) Bilder ziemlich gute Ergebnisse!

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2026-04-10*

The app is working ok but Fusion Faces is no longer working on the iPad version. Hopefully this gets fixed

### 4/5 — Photo Editor

*2025-05-05*

Brilliant app,
Very simple n 
Responsive 
easy to use,
Nice indeed 

Wish this had Ai
Features 
Would be the final need

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2024-10-13, version 2.0.2*

This app has so much potential but the reason for the 3 stars is that it keeps on telling me “failed to load ad”. I’m not sure if this happens on the paid version but it’s really annoying. When this app works, it does a great job but it’s useless if it doesn’t.

### 3/5 — Bug app closes alone

*2024-07-31*

2024/07/31 L’application se ferme toute seule peu de temps après son démarrage et ne peut être utilisée

### 2/5 — No directions and

*2024-06-30*

When I open the app, there are several demonstration photos. I have no idea how to fix a photo sensors no indication of where to start. If I can’t start and add a photo then this program is useless to me. The developer would provide some directions.

### 5/5 — Einfach klasse

*2024-06-01*

Super app, alte verpixelte Bilder wieder aufgewertet

### 5/5 — Best photo restoration

*2024-04-16*

Simple to use and the pictures I’ve restored look amazing

### 5/5 — Good one

*2024-04-02, version 2.0.0*

It’s great app

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2024-03-18*

After trying out a dozen of these AI enhancement apps this is by far the best deal. It works just as well as the other apps, if not better. And it’s one time payment is about half of what the other apps want you to pay weekly. My one and only complaint is it can’t colorize redheads. I tried it using a picture of Lucille Ball and she ended up with pink hair and blue/brown eyes. But none of the apps can do that. Most make her a blonde with brown or green eyes. Still a great deal anyway. Good job.

### 4/5 — Works great

*2024-03-18*

The app is working perfectly, But it increases the image size a lot

### 5/5 — Recomendo

*2024-01-25*

Aplicativo perfeito!! Parabéns ao desenvolvedor

### 3/5 — Fantastic app - let down by saved image resolution

*2024-01-06*

It’s a brilliant app and makes most photos look much better. The one thing that really lets this app down is that it saves my 20mp image as a 3mp shot. I would have hoped it would keep the original resolution of the original image. That’s disappointing.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-12-20*

I can't believe how some of the old pictures that I had, that were basically unusable because they were so blurry, were incredibly brought back to life using this application.
With a little more tweaking with Google Photos, they look like they were taken yesterday.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2023-10-27, version 1.8.10*

Do what is supposed to do.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-01-14*

Some of the photos I tried were worse than the original

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-10-13, version 2.0.3*

Very poor results. Online editors like remaker.ai do significantly better work.

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2025-07-26, version 2.0.2*

After testing multiple photographs of different resolutions and subjects, I haven’t had one worth saving to my gallery.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-02-23*

Totally changed the pics , distorted the faces awful

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-03-15, version 1.9.8*

Completely changes the persons face to someone unrecognizable don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — ⚠️👎

*2023-10-23*

It sucks 😡

### 1/5 — July update

*2023-07-25, version 1.8.0*

Now it won’t even access my camera roll (iPad Pro)!

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2023-07-11*

I tried this app a while ago and I’m still not impressed. I thought they would have made it better by now, but all they did was add more features without improving the crucial issue of poor image enhancement quality. I haven’t even been able to use the new image recoloring feature because the server is always busy. Overall, I expected more from their efforts to enhance its functionality.

Edit: I was able to use the recolonization feature and I’m extremely unimpressed.  When the server aren’t busy all it does is make a t-shirt red or something.  Horrible, never reinstalling.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your support. The evolution of AI services indeed requires some time, and we are working hard to make it more user-friendly. Regarding any functional issues, please feel free to contact us via email, and we will resolve them as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Pointless.

*2023-06-27*

Got this free. Good job tbh as it’s completely pointless. Does absolutely nothing. Don’t waste your money.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your support. We will strive to improve and enhance your experience.

### 5/5 — PicsBeauty DOA

Awesome and user friendly app..

### 5/5 — free AI image enhancer

*2025-05-03*

great app. does what it says without any obligation. image quality of finished product is superb!

### 5/5 — Gute App-kein Abo

*2024-11-16*

Schöne App, die endlich mal ohne Abo daherkommt.

### 5/5 — Great with no stupid subscription

*2024-10-03*

I’ve tried them all. This works really well both colourising and enhancing, for some reason it works better on my phone than my iPad but I’m not complaining. Great price and no stupidly over price subscription like all the others. The enhancement isn't over cooked like many others and works well on non facial areas too. Get it.

### 5/5 — Satisfechisimo

*2024-08-26, version 2.0.2*

Estoy feliz con esta app. Resucita fotos desenfocadlas, y algunas colorizaciones son excelentes, sobre todo cuando en la gota hay bastantes elementos de referencia natural.
No me canso de recomendársela a todos.
Su facilidad de uso es admirable.
Felicitaciones a Lis cesarrolladores

### 5/5 — Wow app

*2024-07-13*

Clear photo quality…

### 5/5 — Surprising Improvement for Many Photos

*2024-07-09*

This app’s abilities are much better than expected. It doesn’t enhance all photos, but no image modification/enhancement apps work every time. The auto-colorizer works very well on many old images.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-06-30*

This app truly does what it says it can do. It has saved many of my photos that I thought I couldn’t use. They were either too dark or out of focus or simply unusable. In literally seconds,this genius app fixed,embellished and revived images I thought were only good to delete.
Thanks! Take a bow-you deserve it!
BTW-I RARELY write reviews.
