### 1/5 — Company takes your money and doesn’t produce anywhere near the likeness

*2026-08-27, version 95.0.0*

The company took the money, made you pay more twice and then requested more during a simple video and the characters they said couldn’t resemble the likeness I already had created and own

### 5/5 — Accessibility

*2026-08-26, version 95.0.0*

Very easy to navigate

### 5/5 — It’s worth it

*2026-08-26, version 95.0.0*

This app will bring your whatever ideas you have in you to fruition and I love it

### 1/5 — User

*2026-08-26, version 95.0.0*

It is complete garbage you will be correcting your videos none stop burning trough credits and still won’t get the right results

### 1/5 — This app is heavily dependent on a credit system, even after you’ve paid for a monthly subscription

*2026-08-26, version 95.0.0*

I signed up for the $14.99 monthly plan and used it to generate one 20-second video clip and it used up essentially all of my credits.

What makes this even more frustrating is that there was no clear warning before generating the video telling me how many credits it was going to cost. Had I known that one 20-second generation would use that many credits, I never would have proceeded.

To make matters worse, the final video was terrible and did not follow the description or instructions I provided, so I couldn’t even use it.

Paying $14.99 for a monthly subscription only to have the credits disappear after one unusable 20-second video is extremely disappointing. There needs to be much better transparency about credit costs before a user clicks generate.

Based on my experience, this app is absolutely not worth the subscription price.

### 1/5 — Scam app

*2026-08-26, version 95.0.0*

I “upgraded” and used all my credits on a test do not sign up monthly , definitely not worth it

### 1/5 — Misleading plans

*2026-08-25, version 95.0.0*

I got the MAX subscription just to realize I did not have unlimited generations on certain models as advertised… so I was basically scammed by the app. Why else would I subscribe to unlimited and not have unlimited? On top of that they refused to refund the credits used for that model. Ridiculous. Thieves.

### 3/5 — Very nice but…

*2026-08-25, version 95.0.0*

I don’t know why lately but I can’t use the majority of all the plans it’s always says it’s an error while I am in my max plan, some error please fix it

### 1/5 — Too Expensive for What You Get

*2026-08-25, version 95.0.0*

Very expensive for what it actually allows you to generate. The credits are consumed extremely quickly, and after just a few generations of short videos, you can be left with almost no credits. For consistent content creation, it doesn’t feel cost-effective. You end up having to pay again just to keep working. The quality can be good, but the relationship between price, credits, and the amount of content you can actually generate is very disappointing. I would not recommend it for anyone who plans to create videos frequently.

### 5/5 — Runaway

*2026-08-25, version 95.0.0*

Best app ever i love it it helps me with how to customize pictures or videos or anything i need
