Fun & easy

A friend turned me on to this app. I had a lot of fun with it and it gave me some pretty amazing pictures. I am sad to see it go. I hope you bring it back again someday.

The themes are fun and the pictures are high quality. So worth it! Thank you! Please create more themes!!

Terrible

This seemed pretty cool, but no. I was able to generate 2 pictures one time. The next time I tried, there was no way to close out the ad to generate the images. It kept playing the ad over and over and over again with no way to close it out. I even tried adding the app the ad was for and restarting my phone. After restarting my phone, I could do nothing at all. The Explore page was completely blank. So I just deleted the app though I truly wanted to play around with it.

Hi there! Thank you for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the app more and more. Your support means a lot to us!

Great app but…

You should make a family Viking one for limit 10 people and a Egyptian one and Roman Empire and pre-columbian American 🙂🙂
We love the app though so fun to play with it just sometimes makes our faces or body’s different ✌️

Rip off?

I paid the $9.99 to remove the ads, but I’m still getting them. I deleted the app and reloaded it twice, but I’m still getting the ads after paying the requested amount to remove them. Hopefully Apple will get back with me and fix this for me.

Great app but poor service

This app offered more photos for actual money which I don’t mind, but these points now that you have to earn to way too long. They destroyed a good thing.

Disappointed in retrolens

Response from developer

Hi there! We appreciate your feedback. If earning gems for free feels too slow, you can also purchase them in the shop. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Great app!

It’s free and I don’t mind watching ads to access all the various images that capture my face. The images look great and you can upload pix of your face with different looks (stern, serious, etc) to fit the overlaid image.

Hi there! Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you're having fun with the app!

Great but limited to one phone

Absolutely loved these! The photos were (for the most part) absolutely incredible!

The problem comes up when you get a new phone. Upgraded to a new iPhone (same number and same Apple ID), but when I opened the app up on it, all the images (including those I purchased) are now missing. There isn’t an option to restore purchases or the images either.

That’s literally the only reason why I didn’t give this 5 stars. If I’m wrong, awesome, tell me how to do it, and make it easier to find. If not, then there needs to be a disclaimer that is clearly visible before you spend actual money on this.

Looks

It looks great in the ad. But once downloaded it won’t even open on my iPad

Hey there, thanks for your review. We are currently fixing a few iPad related issues that occured in the most recent version. Apologies!

Silly

Cannot do a single thing without paying about $50. Download is free but when you open the app and can’t get off a pay screen. Waist of time.

Hey there, thanks for the review. The app is now completely free to use, you won't need to pay a single cent in order to generate AI images :)

Cant delete samples

Loving this app, however I’m unable to delete any of my samples. I’d also love to see more
categorise with fantasy creatures as I am a dragon lover 😁

Hey there, there is no space restriction so you should be able to generate more samples. Send us an email through the "contact us" link at the very bottom of the "my avatars" section in the app please and we'll be happy to look into your specific case :)

Awestruck

Very cool to see these photos considering I have a lot of Viking DNA

Wish it didn’t cost money

I wish you could do more without having to buy it all

Hey there, apart from the free samples for every theme you can always watch ads to generate more images, so there is no need to pay :)

Where are my pictures?

App froze in the middle of downloading and there’s no way to recover or get my money back! 😡

Great but expensive

Wish there was a monthly subscription fee rather than packs! Great though except sometimes glasses distort and hands look Oompa Loompa -ish (tiny).

Hey Valency99, thanks for your feedback! It should be working with ios 17.4. However we did experience a stability issue over the weekend and therefore released an update yesterday. Could you please update to the latest RetroLens version and send us an email to support@retrolens.ai if the problem still persists? We'd love to help fix it.
