### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-10, version 4.3.1*

I’ve had this app for 11 months and loved it. Now nothing works on it. Not renewing my subscription!!

### 1/5 — War mal gut

*2026-07-06, version 4.3.1*

Leider sind die Preise von 10€ die Woche eine unverschämtheit. Da nutze ich andere Tools wie Draw Things oder Amuse. Die können das auch und mittlerweile recht gut. Selbst schuld wer so viel bezahlt.

### 4/5 — 悪くないが高い

*2026-06-02, version 3.0.0*

多少細かいディテールが消える気がするが、特に画像が破綻すること無く、高画質化できる。

たまにボタンが効かなくなることがある。

個人的には高解像度にしてそのままデスクトップの壁紙にしたい。

一番の問題は高いことだと思う。
せいぜい買い切りで2800円。年間だったら500円。
アーリーバードセールとかやっているが、最高80ドルとか寝ぼけているのか。

価格バランスの悪さから星4→星3といったところ。

2026/06/03 追記
2年前と比べてかなり良くなった。
ゴチャゴチャしていた機能が整理されてそこそこ分かりやすくなった。
あとは日本語化されれば使いやすくなる。
いろいろなモードがあるが、英語のままだと説明文が非常にわかりにくい。
星は3から4にします。

### 1/5 — 超騙錢，我之前買終身版，更新完之後，要我再付錢再買，那我買的是買假的。

*2026-05-22, version 4.3.1*

超騙錢，我之前買終身版，更新完之後，要我再付錢再買，那我買的是買假的。

### 1/5 — Dauerhafter Internetzugang - Früher auf dem Handy Verarbeitet

*2026-05-15, version 4.1.1*

Nach Monatelanger Nichtsnutzung dieser App und regelmäßig automatischer Updates, habe ich heute die Benachrichtigung bekommen, das ich meine Bilder in irgendeinem Server hochladen soll um sie upzuscalen. Ich weiß nicht ab welchem Update das geändert wurde, damals wurde aber alles auf dem Handy verarbeitet. Das war auch der eigentliche Vorteil dieser App zu dem anderen AI Müll. Auch wurde mir die Funktion Cartoon erstellen weggenommen, die ich gerne offline genutzt habe. Die App hat damit für mich eigentlich den Kernnutzen verloren. Auch das mir hier wieder irgendein Abo versucht wird anzudrehen finde ich mehr als fragwürdig, bei „noch“ bestehender Life Time Abo. Naja was lernen wir draus, Apps am besten gar nicht mehr updaten. Bei dem Änderungen, kann man dann auch die Serverlastigen KI Modelle verwenden, welche Leistungsfähiger sind.

### 1/5 — lifetime subscription does not work

*2026-03-24, version 4.2.0*

lifetime subscription keeps going back to paywall .

### 3/5 — Funktion auf iPad stark eingeschränkt

*2026-03-13, version 4.2.0*

Bin sog. „Early-Supporter“. Auf dem iPad  funktioniert nur der „Upscaler“. Beim Entrauschen stürzt die App ab. Auf dem iPhone geht allerdings beides. Dies könnte man doch mal angleichen.

### 3/5 — UI ändert sich bei jedem Update

*2026-03-09, version 4.2.0*

Die App hatte als grundsolide upscaling App angefangen, aber mittlerweile ist sie so unübersichtlich. Die Benutzeroberfläche hat sich mittlerweile mindestens 3mal komplett geändert, ich habe keine Ahnung mehr welche Funktion was genau macht, gefühlt auch weniger Einstellungen als früher und habe deshalb aufgehört die App regelmäßig zu nutzen. Wirklich schade.

### 1/5 — Lifetime taken away

*2026-02-18, version 4.1.1*

I was an early adopter of this app which offered a lifetime subscription. It has since been revoked and emailing the developer didn’t help, they have yet to respond.

### 1/5 — App gelöscht!

*2026-02-08, version 4.1.1*

Schade. Eine bisher gut nutzbare App wird immer unbrauchbarer. Gelöscht. Überall nur noch der aufgezwungene KI-Müll.
