### 3/5 — Says not avail in my region

*2026-08-05, version 4.18.0*

I’m not in Illinois 
I’ve used before & I paid for the lifetime bc I enjoyed it so much

### 3/5 — Mixed Review

*2026-07-31, version 4.18.0*

When the AI videos work they're awesome and fun. But, not sure why or when, it seems after a few videos the app will replace the videos with ANIMALS!! This is very frustrating & I have addressed the issue with app support, but no satisfaction!! Is anyone else having this problem??

### 3/5 — Too Invasive

*2026-07-12, version 4.18.0*

To invasive when they ask to share pics. You cannot say no. Not that that would help nowadays.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-26, version 4.17.0*

They don’t update they just switch photos. Brutally boring

### 1/5 — Rip off- Beware- $100 before you get your credit card bill!

*2026-06-23, version 4.17.0*

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2026-06-19, version 4.17.0*

I uploaded my dog pic and hit animate and NOTHING? There not even a way to contact them. But they were quick to process my card. 😡

### 1/5 — NSFW error message

*2026-06-16, version 4.17.0*

I have been a lifetime member for years and all of a sudden, it will no longer allow me to animate any photo of any political figure,!or big tech figure. When I try, it will automatically give me a “NSFW” error message. I can’t revive any photos of any off the Trump family, or Administration, Elon, Zuckerberg, Bezos, or anyone rich person that supports Trump. What good is this app if I can’t use it?????

### 1/5 — They keep charging me after i canceled and deleted the app

*2026-06-15, version 4.17.0*

Scam don't buy

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2026-06-12, version 4.17.0*

Is there anyway to remove that pro thingy?

### 1/5 — Revive has gone political correctness?

*2026-06-10, version 4.17.0*

Revive is Now blocking any political animation.
Which will destroy this app in 6 months.

### 1/5 — Fraudulent Charges

*2026-06-09, version 4.17.0*

This company continues to add charges to my account after cancellation was made during the free trial. Beware of unauthorized charges on your account.   After 2 months of cancellation, I’m still waiting to get these charges resolved.

### 1/5 — Stealing money

*2026-06-06, version 4.17.0*

I canceled them and they still taking money out of my account never give them your account because they steal your money

### 1/5 — App profile lost

*2026-06-04, version 4.8.0*

I bought a lifetime membership years ago and I forgot my password. I put my email in to set and never got an email. It’s as if the system deleted my profile. It’s a scam app.

### 1/5 — I have been charge with 19.99 usd weekly and I already request the cancellation. Not know what to do

*2026-06-02, version 4.17.0*

### 1/5 — Super Slow

*2026-05-31, version 4.17.0*

You guys slowed it down quite a bit for some time now. This used to be my go-to app. Now it’s a pain to even open it.

### 1/5 — unusable

*2026-08-28, version 4.18.0*

incorrectly labeled every photo of me as inappropriate
seems like a scam to steal your facial stuff

### 1/5 — Be aware

*2026-08-27, version 4.18.0*

This is an excellent app. However, if you bought a lifetime in-app purchase (total $44) that specifically was to remove the watermark, if you update you will lose that ability. Developer claims that it is mandated by the EU and they do not have a non EU version. So what you paid for will be lost. Apple appears to have no solution to refund or remedy this purchase.

### 1/5 — Shame

*2026-08-13, version 4.18.0*

This has turn out censored you can’t take the piss out of reform, they are on the side of the racist party

### 1/5 — Error

*2026-08-02, version 4.18.0*

No faces found

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-25, version 4.18.0*

All of a sudden I can’t create any animations. When I try it takes me to a page that says something about how they use our data. When I try to click on accept, it isn’t clickable and the page just lingers there. I paid some bucks to own this app but it’s NOT WORKING.

### 1/5 — Scam Artists

*2026-07-20, version 4.18.0*

I downloaded the pro version and could not get it to work as described. Little did I realize they were charging me $19.99 a week for the last several months. I was never able to create anything and was charged several hundred dollars for a junk piece of software.  Buyer Beware!

### 1/5 — $19/weekly charge!

*2026-07-10, version 4.18.0*

Beware, they will charge $19.99 EVERY WEEK after the trial period

### 1/5 — It’s definitely not the app I bought

*2026-07-04, version 4.18.0*

I guess I’m confused. It’s nothing like the app I bought over a year ago.  I have emailed a couple times with my concerns and to be honest I feel like the more I emailed the worse the app gets.  Just thankful it was a one time purchase.  I know why it gets worse and worse but for me it does it’s not even fun anymore.  In the beginning, I would’ve given it a five.  But things constantly change and less and less. Content is available.


I rarely use the app anymore because every time I do something is different.  It’s not for the better.   I just feel ripped off because the app I bought is not the same as the app I get now.   Can’t even lip sync.  What am I doing wrong?  It’s got a 4.7 rating average.  And every time I try to use it it’s terrible. Maybe it’s because I gave him a bad review. I don’t know. the app is very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Revive has gone political correctness?

*2026-07-02, version 4.18.0*

Revive is Now blocking any political animation.
Which will destroy this app in 6 months.

### 1/5 — Not pleased

*2026-06-30, version 4.17.0*

I never received my photo and I can’t locate a place to cancel, so I have to dispute through my bank.
