It’s the Best *2026-07-25, version 2.0.4* I am experiencing some problems that i didnt have, the first time i used this app. My videos are being taken away from me, before i can save them. The video will literally finish its processing, and ill click ‘play’ and the message appears ‘please save your videos as soon as they are finished processing, they will be deleted after some time’ <—some time? 2 seconds later? Ive heard a lot about how the app can be temperamental, So i know what that means now. Im hopeful it will return to normal soon. ### 1/5 — Horrible app subscription required *2026-07-23, version 2.0.4* Not much to say bad app 0/5 ### 2/5 — Problem *2026-07-23* Note : 2/5 The tool allows you to create very good videos, this is its main strong point. That’s why I don’t put a single star. On the other hand, I just subscribed to an annual subscription and, for two days, the service has been practically unusable. After only 7 or 8 videos generated, I systematically get the message: « Saturated server, please try again later. ” I specify that I am not talking about the generation limits provided for by the subscription. I know that some models have a maximum number of videos, but I am very far from reaching these limits. In theory, I should be able to generate several dozen videos a day. The real problem is that the server remains « saturated » for hours, sometimes all day. It is not a wait of a few minutes: the service becomes completely unusable until the next day. I would like to know if this operation is normal for paid subscribers. If this is a temporary problem, I hope it will be fixed quickly, because the potential of the tool is excellent. As it stands, it is difficult to justify the price of an annual subscription. ### 3/5 — Not the greatest *2026-07-19, version 2.0.4* Even with very detailed prompts Pika always seems to mess it up, either with misspelled text or even just making things so goofy! I understand AI isn’t perfect but at least try! Definitely not suitable for content creators ### 1/5 — Awfully awful *2026-07-19, version 2.0.4* Can’t even get started. Can’t find out how to cancel. Can’t use my own voice for a video I’m trying to make. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-18, version 2.0.4* I said, for the person was supposed to appear in front of me and it still keeps doing it the same way no matter how many times I redo it. It still keeps making the person appear behind me. This is terrible. ### 1/5 — Hard to cancel *2026-07-18, version 2.0.4* Hard to cancel not good service ### 1/5 — Make bad videos *2026-07-17, version 2.0.4* Awfull and not correct videos even with good prompt ### 2/5 — Consistência *2026-07-16* Não mantém consistência dos personagens ### 1/5 — Run away *2026-07-15* Déjà 29$ qui se transforment en 35€, non. Ensuite l'algorithme bof. Mon personnage a trois mains par exemple. Enfin, on est limités à 11 vidéos par jour ce qui n'a jamais été précisé c'est purement et simplement de l'arnaque. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nothing I search for works *2026-08-17, version 2.0.5* It’s been a waste of money so far, I wish there was a free trial so I could have known ahead of time not to spend the money ### 1/5 — This app is trash *2026-08-13, version 2.0.5* The only saving grace for this app is the annual fee is cheap. It’s cheap because only 1 out of 10 prompts will process correctly ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-08-11, version 2.0.5* This app is totally scrap and not moderated correctly and I don’t suggest this app and I want my money back ### 1/5 — Honestly not worth it. *2026-08-10, version 2.0.5* It sounded promising, the price seemed great. But after everything was said and done, the quality just wasn’t that great and I was disappointed mainly because I couldn’t use it due to a “High Server Load”. Honestly, being able to use it is a little more important than it being affordable. And honestly, I feel cheated, mainly due to the fact that you either have an option of paying $10 a week or $30 a year to use, and it seems like a no brainer, but you can’t even test it out before purchasing. It almost seemed intentional. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. This app is not worth it. ### 1/5 — Too bad *2026-08-10, version 2.0.5* Worst app ever ### 1/5 — I have the app and I have been trying to cancel my brand new subscription there’s no way to Cancel. *2026-07-31, version 2.0.5* This app makes 1/5 images or videos that are useable I am trying to Cancel this and there is no way through the App i signed up on. Good luck going through Google either. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-07-30, version 2.0.5* Don’t buy, does not generate anything ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-30, version 2.0.5* So for the past few days it’s been working no problem I paid 9.99 for one week I believe so today I paid the 30 dollars for a year now every video I try to generate does not work ! So what the heck I will dispute the charge with my bank it’s ridiculous I’m only giving one star because I don’t have a choice ### 1/5 — App sucks *2026-07-30, version 2.0.5* Never works ### 1/5 — Not on point *2026-07-28, version 2.0.4* I describe a scene in the animation doesn’t happen that way. It doesn’t give the option to edit. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent love this *2026-08-20, version 2.0.5* Excellent ### 5/5 — Pika labs paid subscriber *2026-08-20, version 2.0.5* I purchased pika labs about 6 months ago it worked great. now whenever I try to create a video I get a servers are busy message l. This happens whenever and the time of day does not matter . It refuses to make the video. Reinstalling allowed me to make one video then I received the same message again. Spare yourself and use a different ai generator, this one is sub par ### 5/5 — MA *2026-08-17, version 2.0.5* Amazing!!!!! ### 5/5 — Lo mejor *2026-08-14, version 2.0.5* Excelente ### 5/5 — Video clips *2026-08-04, version 2.0.5* Sometimes not save video… ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APPLICATION 🙏 *2026-08-03, version 2.0.5* This App Is The BEST In The App Store You Can’t Beat It For The $29.99 Yearly Subscription I Bought It Right Out The Gate.The App Has Everything For The Beginner. Don’t Pass This App By Seriously 😐 Consider This App .High Quality And No Ridiculous Guard Rails Dead On Accurate Compared To Much Higher Priced AI 🤖 👋 ### 5/5 — Unlimited Images my A** *2026-07-29, version 2.0.4* I get “credited” wait too often when servers are busy to produce ‘unlimited’ photos. I purchased the year subscription. I’m constantly having to generate and create photos four and five times before it actually completes. Very frustrating. ### 5/5 — A1 *2026-07-17, version 2.0.4* Nice software ### 5/5 — Finally. No nonsense. *2026-07-07, version 2.0.2* I love it and i have so much to say, but why bother. I love it. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Good APP :) *2026-06-27, version 2.0.1* Wonderful App:) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
