I tried many times with a variety of photos Two stars because the other filters work ok, but I had specifically gotten this app for the oil painting portrait effect. ### 1/5 — 구독취소 부탁드립니다 *2023-06-30* 3일 무료사용이라해서 실행했는데 결제되었어요. 취소 부탁드려요. ### 1/5 — Only for white people *2023-04-20, version 1.2.7* This app just takes your pictures and makes you look white. The AI really has no access to any references that aren’t white people? My kids are mixed Asian/ Polynesian. I’m mixed Asian. It made us all look like just random white girls… the photos whited up our skin and removed our Asian/ mono lid eyes. So the app is super racist I guess. ### 1/5 — Produces portraits that look almost, but not quite, complete unlike your face. *2023-02-22, version 1.2.7* Nice portrait effect, but as one produced by a lightly skilled painter (putting it kindly). All of the portraits of me it produces are unrecognizable to my family as being of me. Why would it change my nose shape, my eye & eyebrow shape, my mouth shape, facial outline, etc.? ### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work *2023-02-19, version 1.2.7* The app can make some very beautiful portraits(if your white) the biggest problem I found was the fact every time a person with a darker complexion is inserted into a portrait. The AI morphs them into looking like way lighter then they are in actuality. Another problem I had with the A.I is that it can’t really process people with glasses on. ### 1/5 — Total Garbage *2023-01-18, version 1.2.7* Terrible app don’t buy it by accident ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요 *2023-01-11* 왜 결제된거죠. 그리고 구독취소 왜 없나요 ### 1/5 — Unable to subscribe? *2023-01-06, version 1.2.7* How do I unsubscribe? There’s no button!! ### 1/5 — Everything is locked *2022-12-22, version 1.2.7* Don’t waste your time. 80% of everything is locked unless you agree to some absurdly expensive subscription let the rest of the over greedy apps. - Next app… ### 1/5 — 환불 요청드립니다 *2022-12-14* 쓰지 않았는데 1달 결제가 되어서 27,000원이 나갔습니다. 환불 부탁드립니다. ### 1/5 — It’s not what you think *2022-12-07, version 1.2.7* Not as advertised Impossible to cancel DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!! ### 2/5 — Not that great. *2022-12-07, version 1.2.7* I was disappointed to discover that the art filters are of low quality. There is nothing very impressive here. ### 1/5 — Takes forever *2022-12-05, version 1.2.7* Can't seem to get even one to work, wheel just spins forever ### 2/5 — Privacy issue *2022-12-04, version 1.2.7* There’s a privacy issue with the app - if you accidentally select allow access to all photos, then change access to selected photos or no photos, the app still shows all photos. I even deleted then redownload the app to try and fix it, but it still has access to all my photos. ### 1/5 — Process whole photo does not work *2022-11-27, version 1.2.7* There is a check box option to “Process whole photo” Nope. That option does nothing. All the app can do is render extreme closeup headshots, it even cuts off your neck! ### 1/5 — 쓰레기들이냐 *2022-11-21* 구독취소해라 뭐하는짖이야 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-10-12, version 1.2.7* Doesn’t create a portrait that looks remotely like the original photo. Impossible to cancel subscription. ### 1/5 — Okay…….. *2024-03-06, version 1.2.7* Only turns you Caucasian. 😒 with caucasian features. ### 1/5 — For white skin *2023-12-11, version 1.2.7* This turned my skin white and thinned my nose, never looked like me. ### 1/5 — Do not subscribe! *2023-11-15, version 1.2.7* Feels like a really old app. There are so many good ones out there that do so much better. I made the mistake of subscribing, don’t you do the same. A rip off. ### 1/5 — 구독 취소 할려는데 어떻게 해요? *2023-10-21* 갑자기 27000원 카카오페이로 결제됬는데 뭔가요? ### 1/5 — Overcharged for nothing *2023-10-08, version 1.2.7* Save yourself the money ### 1/5 — 구독취소해주세요 *2023-10-04* 매달 5500원씩 빼갔네요 ㄷ ㄷ 화남 ### 1/5 — It’s just filters *2023-07-27, version 1.2.7* It’s literally just a filter, like Snapchat ### 1/5 — I clicked free trial, cancelled within 3 minutes! And was charged for a YEAR! *2023-07-21, version 1.2.7* I used free trial for total of THREE MINUTES, cancelled and was charged for a year. I will report this to my credit card and apple immediately ### 1/5 — 자동결제로 *2023-07-05* 자동결제로 27,000 빠져나가서 당황스럽네요 환불 부탁드립니다 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please *2024-10-11, version 1.2.7* Ok the app is great! It has many features you can use and it’s very cool. However, I wish there was a one time purchase for the portraits. So can you please make one? ### 5/5 — Good so far *2024-04-23, version 1.2.7* So I’ve read the comments but for me I really enjoy this app people complaining about Asian and black filters Is babies as long as you don’t pick fun at the race it’s ok to see how you would look like this is coming from a half Asian person. Really my only problem is that I’m unsure if it’s the same for paying customers but I’d love to see the full photo instead of just the face for example I had this gorgeous dress on and it wouldn’t show I’d love to see my dress aswell as my face but overall great app! ### 5/5 — PortraitAl *2023-04-01, version 1.2.7* Buenísima una obra de arte ### 5/5 — No African American Ai *2022-12-04, version 1.2.7* People swear that racism is dead; however apps like this prove that colorism is still well and alive. I don’t want to be turned into a white century old portrait. I want to look like myself and step back in time. It’s really disheartening ### 5/5 — Really Happy *2022-09-17, version 1.2.7* While it’s not perfect, I really love this app. ### 5/5 — PLEASE add this! *2022-07-24, version 1.2.6* It’s really good and I wondered if I could try it on my rabbit(bunion) and it didn’t work, so if u could add a update where you can use it on pets I would love it! ### 5/5 — Impressive .x. *2022-05-10, version 1.2.6* Matthew love child is happy. ### 5/5 — Great Portrait Maker *2021-01-27, version 1.1.23* The app works great! For my fellow POC, read the description and it’ll be sure to tell you that they’re working on it! ### 5/5 — 자동결제되었네요! 환불해주세요 *2020-12-30* 구독에 들어가보니 1년 결제로 체크되어있더라구요 ㅠㅠ 27000원이라니!! 한달단위도 아니고 ㅠㅠ 취고부탁드려요 이틀밖에 안썼는데! 지우려고 들어가니 벌써 결제됐네요 ### 5/5 — Lack of ethnicity *2020-11-25, version 1.1.21* Wish it would capture ethnic people. Like my black friends couldn’t enjoy this app because it would lighten their skin. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
