If you’re looking for a good, cheap, user-friendly AI image maker… THIS is NOT it! **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry.

And there should be some kind of way to get free images when you first start because I spent money on something that didn’t satisfy me in the most, and most people probably won’t take that same risk **Developer response:** Hello, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Thx **Developer response:** Hello, I am sorry to bring you a bad experience. We are already planning new features, hope you can give suggestions and comments again after the experience Best regard ### 2/5 — Good work and effort but I have interesting questions *2023-11-16, version 2.0.1* My friend saw this app and said it can generate pictures of nude women, and they even showed me a pic of some of their generations. How is it possible to go through a series of possibilities and have nude women with no censorship or boundaries shown at all? How did their developers create this and have loads of outcomes? This is very rare and I have never seen anything like this before. Pls get back as soon as possible. ### 2/5 — Wish I could use it *2023-10-03, version 1.4* When ever I try to make an art peace through watching an ad it always says “no ads available, please try again later” and I’m always connected to internet when I use the app, and when I use other AI apps they work just fine ### 2/5 — Huge downgrade *2023-09-16, version 1.3* Would be 5/5 but the update ruined it ### 2/5 — Won’t let me do anything *2023-08-28* Made some cool images at first but not is keeps saying “exception, please sign in” when I try to create something. I’ve tried signing out and back in and even deleting and redownloading the app. This app was kinda cool, when it worked. **Developer response:** Hello, we apologize for any inconvenience.
