### 5/5 — Please contact us

*2022-11-29, version 1.7*

Is it possible to share and use the works created with pikpic to others?

### 5/5 — My answer.

*2022-11-29, version 1.7*

The app is very good but the bad ones have to pay, that's ugly, it can change, someone can't pay

### 5/5 — I love it but…

*2022-11-29, version 1.7*

It's very cool but sometimes it bugs me and it's very difficult, for example, the stickers or whatever it's called, but it's very good

### 5/5 — Difficulty in payment

*2022-11-29, version 1.7*

Wanting to pay again is too complicated, can't pay

### 5/5 — Everything is paid

*2022-11-29, version 1.7*

Those effects that you need are paid, you can find an app and better than this

### 5/5 — no bug

*2022-11-29, version 1.7*

Until now I had not had problems with the app but this update does not work for me

### 5/5 — Crashed all the time after opening

*2022-11-23, version 1.7*

After I installed the update after I opened it it crashed for no reASŌn can you please fix it for me and thank you

### 5/5 — It's strange.. something has changed

*2022-11-23, version 1.7*

The stretching adjustment has become unnatural and strange. I want to go back to the previous version. Please fix it.

### 5/5 — they did something wrong

*2022-11-23, version 1.7*

Before it showed me all my photo albums and now only the "recent" album

### 5/5 — I like it but…

*2022-11-23, version 1.7*

I love this app you can edit photos, color but the ads bother me. Can you do something, thank you

### 5/5 — PHOTO SELECTION

*2022-11-22, version 1.7*

I will edit To select the photo, the favorites part of the phone has been removed from the options. I need to search the gallery to edit the photo I have taken as a favourite.

### 5/5 — Feeling uncomfortable

*2022-11-18, version 1.7*

Why can't I open photos from my own album like before, but I have to open them from the public photostore, making it very difficult to find photos.

### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel subscription

*2023-06-12*

Worst app I’ve ever downloaded.

The app itself is super slow, it would take forever to just populate the main page. And then to get to each following page took forever as well. And if I clicked over to another app, it would start the whole process over. 

I tried to cancel my subscription but there is no way to do that on the app. You have no profile or anything to manage your account. Tried to contact them through their  “contact us” link and it would. not. go. THROUGH! Again….is it the slow app thing? Or is it a scam?

I tried emailing them through my personal email and have yet to get a response over a month later.

The whole thing just feels kinda scammy. 

Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Not as advertised - can’t cancel free trial either

*2023-06-03*

The ad shows this app will pick the best hairstyle for you and it doesn’t. It allows you to scroll through options with very cartoonish hair choices and colors. Then it won’t let you cancel the free trial. I’m going to be livid if I’m billed for this!!!! I reached out to Apple as well. I am hoping I can cancel this. There is no customer service for this app to get a refund. I wouldn’t download it, save yourself the headache!

### 1/5 — In an age of decent visual generative AI… we get this.

*2023-05-17*

Wow. I am terribly disappointed. This is ollllllld technology. I thought I might be able to use it for creating content but all this is is overlays that one could see at a science museum in the 1990s and online in the early 2000’s. To make matters worse, canceling your subscription is proving to be a bear. Here’s hoping I can get this thing canceled. Otherwise, I’ll have to tell my credit card to cancel and we all know how easy that is.

TL;dr: just don’t.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money…

*2023-04-12*

The app uses a filter so it doesn’t look accurate, hairstyles are difficult to line up, color choices are set and limited, aging is not correct because the app didn’t ask how old I was and established my age to be 16 years younger.  The cancelled 5 minutes after I purchased (purchased an entire month) and realized there was an option for a weekly subscription that I was never offered.  I tried to contact customer service and got no response.  Do not waste your money.

### 1/5 — BE WARNED

*2022-11-30, version 1.7*

I checked out the app on the free trial. After a few minutes I figured out the app didn’t really do what it claims it can do. I tried to cancel the trial so it wouldn’t auto renew but the method described to cancel it doesn’t exist in the app. I contacted them to let them know of the deficiency and please cancel the trial twice. I didn’t get any response and I see a charge on my card this morning.

### 1/5 — Said it was free but not

*2022-11-22, version 1.7*

Oh sure there is a free trial period but that doesn’t mean it’s free! You go through this whole thing of taking a picture and it’s analyzing your face only to be stopped before you get anything and told there will be a charge. If your app is good you can afford to truly let users try it without setting up the automatic payment before they get anything that might help them understand if your app is worth it.

### 1/5 — This app is a joke

*2022-10-05, version 1.3*

I downloaded this app in hopes of trying on different hairstyles. Turns out it gives you two hairstyles to try on for free and it doesn’t even look realistic. If you want to pay a ridiculous amount of money, you can buy 18 other hairstyles to try on. 

I don’t know what was worse, finding out you only get 2 hairstyles or the constant bombardment of advertising. 
A total waste of time.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work well

*2023-05-05*

I thought it would be great to explore new hairstyles before my next hair appt, however this app was not at all helpful. I tried several times, but the hair “floats” over my head and doesn’t fit on my head. It is also not proportionate. This does not provide an accurate or useful look and makes this app completely useless to me. Great concept and thankful for the free trial - I’d have been upset if I had paid for it.

### 2/5 — Not FREE w/o constant sponsor ADS…

*2022-11-20, version 1.7*

I’ll start by saying there are MANY similar apps to this one. That being said, with this app I COULD NOT TRY ONE single new hairstyle on a pic of me without getting a sponsored ad that popped up literally every TWO SECONDS. Not one time, no matter how many different ways I tried it. If there is an existing way to try it out for free it is not obvious, thus making it a completely “non user-friendly” app. Supposing there is a chance that the sponsors & the owners of this app WANT folks to purchase it…this may sound ludicrous, but perhaps give us a FEW initial free tries? I have already deleted this app & am currently perusing the App Store for a comparable one.

### 5/5 — Easy to use ‌ ‍

*2023-04-30*

Very intuitive and easy to use. I like it. I recently got the pro version, and only to indicate that it could have many more different options than it has and that differentiates it more from the free one.

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Versatile and intuitive   ‌​

*2023-04-30*

I love the app, I became a subscriber after using the free version for a long time, I thought that because it is so useful in my day to day life, it was worth every penny invested, because what you use is really not spent, it is investment in savings time and quality at work​   ‌

### 5/5 — I could fix some things​​ ‍

*2023-04-25*

To put on freckles automatically lightens the eye color. This should not happen. And it would be nice if the photos were less smoothed, that they had a more real aspect.     ‍​‌

### 5/5 — Cancellation request ‍     ​

*2023-03-27*

I paid for the month premium for a while, but I should have canceled it yesterday, but I couldn't, so the payment was made today. Can I cancel it? I don't know where to ask, so I'm leaving it here   ‍

### 5/5 — Delete purchase history

*2022-12-26, version 1.8*

After the 3-day free trial, I have never used a paid item, but suddenly the payment has been made. Can I cancel the purchase history?

### 5/5 — Pikpic

*2022-12-13, version 1.7*

I don't like this app, everything is paid, you can't do anything, you gave 5 stars so that it will come out on top, otherwise I would say never download this app, it doesn't even deserve 1 star in my opinion!

### 5/5 — App great but…

*2022-12-13, version 1.7*

You are now forced to buy the app to save your pictures etc... Subscription model?! No thanks much too expensive

### 5/5 — Very good

*2022-12-13, version 1.7*

I've been using the free version for a long time and I've never had any problems. I hope it continues like this and improves, thank you very much!

### 5/5 — i love this app

*2022-12-01, version 1.7*

I love this app! I highly recommend it! It's a shame that now they ask you to pay to use it. It's super easy to use! And you do very good things!
