### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-07-04*

I spent almost $40 on this app that doesn’t do much I could’ve done more on any normal editor. I totally don’t recommend this app very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal editor!

*2026-01-21, version 1.3.0*

More than Pets

### 1/5 — Thirty bucks. Ripoff

*2024-11-22, version 1.3.0*

NOTHING is free in this app. Not even a preview. 
This is way too expensive for AI services. You can find this free online and with other apps. For $2, Temu will make your pic AND print it on canvas for you. Much better value.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2024-11-12, version 1.3.0*

Tried to get a refund and I can’t.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-02-13, version 1.3.0*

If, IF you choose this app, be very aware that regardless of how quickly you cancel, you will still be charged. It’s a horrible business practice but it’s not unlike many Apple Apps money grabbing billing scams. I have to wonder, since I immediately canceled this upon downloading it as it doesn’t do what I expected, how well will it perform for the year I’m stuck having it?! Maybe it’ll be worth the $29.00, but then again, because they acquire money unscrupulously, I highly doubt it. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 1/5 — Took money during free trial

*2023-10-25*

Trying to get the money back you took from my account during free trial

### 5/5 — Super fun!

*2023-08-22*

I’m enjoying creating funny photos and sending them to friends & family to make them smile! 😄

### 1/5 — $30 a year for a photo edit in 2023 = millennial app builder

*2023-08-05, version 1.2.2*

$30 a year for a photo edit in 2023 = millennial app builder…this is why god gave us AI because of software development like this. $3 a year? Sure…. …$30? ……. you know what to do and who to do it to.

### 1/5 — Portrait style

*2023-07-31*

If you are after this for creating portraits of animals then you are wasting your time, there are only 4 portrait templates, US astronaut, Elizabethan, old 18th century type military costume & a Ruth Bader Ginsburg judge. Not worth it. I would absolutely subscribe for more options, not for just 4 tho.

### 1/5 — Can’t even try it out

*2023-07-04, version 1.2.2*

Sadly requires you to enable in-app purchase to even try. So tired of apps that pull this.
