It’s been loading for over a day. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2024-10-23* Paid £9.99 for absolutely nothing! It doesn’t work and there is no option of getting a refund. AVOID ### 1/5 — Fake *2024-10-23* Don’t waste your time, tried updating and restarting my phone and still does nothing but continues to load.

And you have to pay 10 dollars just for an animation, and it WONT WORK! This app is scamming you out of your money and wasting your time. The real Pika.art place is on the website (titled pika.art and it takes you there) and is NOT an app. DONT DOWNLOAD THIS! ### 1/5 — Absolute scam *2024-10-21* This isn’t official, just some dude charging us to use his business account most likely, go to the actual website where you can actually use it properly. ### 1/5 — doesn't work *2024-10-20* pay 9.99$ one week but nothing happens……… always show “ no results yet” **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

Unfortunately, generating video is very expensive because of high GPU costs so we cannot give a free trial / ad-wall version. Maybe in future, we would be able to. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-10-17* This is a scam. This is NOT Pika Labs. Look at the logo, it’s a mouse, not a rabbit. I paid $10 to try and got nothing out of it. This. Is. A. Scam. Do not download. This is not the company you think it is. ### 1/5 — Fake *2024-10-17* Dont try they take money and dint do anything ### 1/5 — not worth money *2024-10-17* server constantly busy... after generating one pic i gotta wait 20 mins. what's the point of paying ### 1/5 — Fake app *2024-10-16* App is fake and once you upload the picture nothing happens.. don’t buy it.. shame on you apple to let scammers use your platform.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth the $ *2024-11-06* This is a ripoff. You pay $10 for a week, and then the animations are … just ok. Kinda cheesy and tacky, Then after you make a few, it keeps blocking you. Lecturing you like a bad child, that you’re being greedy, and making too many animations, so you “need to wait 25 min to make another one”. Then it says “oops you’ve used 20 animations in the last week, you can’t make any more”. They never tell you upfront that you get a limited amount of animations, or that you can only make one every half hour. Plus it only offers like 5 animation options. Most of which are painfully corny, like eyeballs popping out of the pictures head. Or a person pulling their head off their shoulders. Like, when will you need that? There’s only one or two effects that look kind of cool. Might as well spend that $ on a real, high functioning software like Leonardo, or one with way more capacity and higher quality, more dynamic processing. I cancelled this and will not be returning. I recommend you don’t waste your money in the first place. Try Midjourney or Leonardo or OpenArt or one of the other far superior AI generation softwares that aren’t stingy like this. Did I mention the animations here are cheesy and tacky? **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, and we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. To maintain a fair experience for all users and prevent misuse, we initially implemented certain limitations. However, we are pleased to inform you that we have now addressed these issues. Our app has been updated, removing usage restrictions, and enhancing the overall experience. We hope you’ll consider trying our improved version, as we’re committed to providing high-quality, seamless service to all our users. Thank you again for helping us improve.

So I downloaded the app. And what the heck?? Just doing one filter costs 79$? Absolute joke. **Developer response:** We apologies for the inconvenience, To make it clear you get unlimited generations for the subscription price. Please reach out to madhav@pikalabs.tech for further assistance ### 1/5 — expensive *2024-10-31* have to pay for everything **Developer response:** Hi, we have previews for all different features. Unfortunately, generating video is very expensive because of high GPU costs so we cannot give a free trial / ad-wall version. Maybe in future, we would be able to. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2024-10-29* Its not pika official. Pika art has no official app. they just release their website app. If anyone buy this. surely he will suffer. because pika blocked third party accounts ### 1/5 — Why *2024-10-27* It says that I have unlimited on my free trial but it says that I reached the max of 20 do not download **Developer response:** Hey Jashua, We apologise for the inconvenience and we are pleased to inform you that we have removed this limit as we have expanded our servers to handle more generation requests. ### 1/5 — Absolute Rip Off *2024-10-27* This app simply doesn’t work. I paid for a week subscription and from the first moment I had the app, it didn’t work as advertised, loading time was ridiculous (one item is still loading after over 10 hours). I’ve continually asked for a refund and been told they are having technical errors it will work tomorrow. Doubtful. I want my money back. I don’t want to pay for an app that can’t be used! **Developer response:** We apologise for the inconvenience. Please reach out at madhav@pikapabs.tech so we can look into this. ### 1/5 — Cancellation *2024-10-25* I am writing to request the cancellation of a subscription I purchased just a minute ago by mistake. I have not used the service and would like a full refund. Please give me an answer to my email. ### 1/5 — Don’t pay it’s a scam *2024-10-25* Doesn’t work after taking the payment. Do not use ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-10-25* I made one edit, which took nearly 30mins to complete. I tried to make another edit and now it’s not processing at all. It’s been stuck for the past hour, such a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-10-24* Took my money. Doesn’t work. At all. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tip *2024-10-23* Do not try and make multiple videos at once. Wait until the first is done. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-10-20* Funciona bien ### 4/5 — It works it’s just wait in between *2024-10-31* So it works I’ve actually made a few videos from this app. But takes time in between each, so just give yourself atleast 20 mins in between each video. ### 2/5 — Good app *2024-10-18* Good app but why am I paying 10 dollars to wait 20 minutes for the servers **Developer response:** Hi, we have previews for all different features. Unfortunately, generating video is very expensive because of high GPU costs so we cannot give a free trial / ad-wall version. Maybe in future, we would be able to. ### 2/5 — Money milker *2024-10-14* I don’t want to pay pro let me watch an ad or something **Developer response:** Hi, we have previews for all different features. Unfortunately, generating video is very expensive because of high GPU costs so we cannot give a free trial / ad-wall version. Maybe in future, we would be able to. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
