Complete waste of $40. **Developer response:** Hi there, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — that’s certainly not what we want. If you’re still willing to give it another try, please open the app and go to Settings → Report an Issue. This sends us your app details and logs automatically, which helps us identify exactly what went wrong and fix it much faster. We truly want to help and make this right for you. Thank you for sharing your feedback. — Sivu AI Team ### 1/5 — Prompts review before use *2025-10-27* It asks for a review before you can even attempt to use the app. That’s what they get until I know what it can do. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thanks for your feedback! The app may prompt for a review early, but you’re never required to rate it before trying it. You can skip that step and continue exploring all features freely. We’ll make this clearer in an upcoming update — we appreciate your input and hope you’ll give Sivu another try! — The Sivu Team ### 1/5 — No no no. *2025-10-12* Doesn’t work. You can’t create anything!!! **Developer response:** Hi Lizzie, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience. Sivu definitely allows users to create AI videos and images, so what you describe shouldn’t be happening. Most creation issues are usually related to things like missing permissions (e.g., photo access), unstable internet, or using image files that are too large. In all cases, if a generation fails, credits are automatically refunded — so nothing is ever lost. If you’re open to it, we’d love to help fix the problem for you quickly. Just open the app, go to Settings → Report an Issue, and send us a quick note. That way we can check your log and get you creating videos in no time. — The Sivu Team ### 1/5 — BEWARE!! *2025-10-08* ALL SALES ARE FINAL! Product is outdated, glitchy, produces fake looking results and lacks a variety of options. DO NOT BUY! **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Sivu has different generation modes — including AI Twin and various effects — and the output quality can vary depending on the image, selected script, or effect settings. For best results, we always recommend using a clear front-facing portrait and checking that the selected settings match the desired output. If a generation fails, credits are automatically refunded, and our support team can help identify exactly what went wrong. You can reach us directly from the app via Settings → Report an Issue so we can investigate your specific case. We’re continuously improving the models and adding more options to make the experience smoother and more realistic. — The Sivu Team ### 2/5 — No sound - no support *2025-10-05* Dint waste your money. It made the photo talk but no sound. Tried from script as well as adding audio file. Neither would work. Tried to email support. Email was “undeliverable” **Developer response:** Hi there, We’re sorry to hear about your experience — that definitely shouldn’t have happened. The videos you create should include sound when using the AI Twin mode (either with a script or uploaded voice). If you didn’t hear any sound, it may be due to your phone’s volume settings or the video being saved without audio because of an upload issue. We’ve also checked and confirmed that our support email is active — you can always reach us directly from within the app via Settings → Report an Issue, which automatically attaches your user info so we can help faster. If you’d like, please reach out again — we’ll be happy to look into your case and refund any credits used on failed generations. — The Sivu Team ### 1/5 — Biggest Scam App Ever – Don’t Waste Your Money! *2025-10-03, version 1.2.7* Date:- 03/10/2025 ⚠️ Stay far away from this app if you value your money. I made the mistake of downloading it and paying for a weekly subscription. When I tried using their so-called text-to-video feature, every single attempt gave me a completely random, unrelated video—and to make matters worse, the videos wouldn’t even play. Total scam. Nothing but wasted time and money. ### 2/5 — Not Loving It *2025-10-01* I tried the $4.99 trial and am disappointed. Once you make a video there is no way to edit it. You can’t make any changes to it. So if it doesn’t work out then you have completely wasted your money. I made a video and a photo zoom video. The zoom isn’t smooth and the video with my AI twin only has small similarities to me and despite having glasses on in the images I uploaded, didn’t even have any on. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your feedback 🙏 We’d like to clarify a couple of things: • AI Video Generation, not editing – Sivu is designed as an AI video generator, not a traditional video editor. Once a video is created, it can’t be re-edited inside the app, but you can always generate a new version with different inputs or parameters. • Why results may vary – Sometimes the AI might miss details (like glasses or subtle facial features). Using a clear, front-facing portrait photo helps achieve closer results. • Credits & refunds – Please don’t worry about losing credits. If a generation fails, credits are automatically refunded. We’re continuously updating the app to improve realism, smoothness, and customization. Your feedback helps us make it better 💡 If you’d like, you can also contact us through Settings > Report an Issue in the app and share your User ID so we can look directly into your failed attempts. — The Sivu Team ### 1/5 — Needs a Free Trial Before Subscription! *2025-09-21, version 1.2.4* I downloaded this video maker program to give it a try. Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow me to test the features properly without subscribing first. I prefer to try an app before paying for it, so I won’t be subscribing at this point. Sorry, but free trial access would make it much more appealing. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-20, version 1.2.4* The worst AI app ever had. Nothing uploads and send you back to home page. Videos if they even work once every 5th try takes forever and they ask you to write a review before you even tried it. Waste of yearly £40 and I’ll ask the bank for my money back. It’s a scam because it doesn’t work. Worst app ever. ### 1/5 — Bakwas *2025-09-10* Not a single demo video free **Developer response:** Hi Sandeep, Thanks for your feedback! Our AI models are paid services, but you can still try the app using Free Daily Credits, available inside the app. These allow you to test different AI tools — including video generation — without a subscription. We’re always improving and hope you’ll give it another try! — The Sivu Team ### 1/5 — Don’t use it *2025-09-08, version 1.2.1* I took a chance on this app and paid $34.99, only to discover that this fee simply grants access to the platform—it does not allow meaningful use. To actually generate anything worthwhile, I was required to spend another $34.99 for credits, bringing the total to over $70 just to get started. With that investment, I expected at least a functional experience. Instead, my first attempts to create graphics and animations were disappointing. Out of three tries, only one video generated successfully, and the others failed completely. I’ve worked with professional animation and design software for years, so I know the difference between user error and an underperforming product. On top of that, every single generation attempt costs points, and those points drain quickly. The $34.99 purchase only provided 1,500 points, which disappear in no time. This pricing structure is misleading, unfair, and far too costly for what the app actually delivers. For an app that charges this much upfront and then hides its real functionality behind additional paywalls, the performance is unacceptable. I cannot recommend it, and I am requesting a refund. ### 3/5 — ラムネ *2025-08-18* いつも可愛いくいたい ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fiasco *2026-06-14* Very disappointed !! ### 1/5 — Lifetime subscription *2026-05-25* Where’s the lifetime purchase option? **Developer response:** Thank you for your question. Sivu AI does not currently offer a lifetime purchase option. Unlike traditional apps, Sivu AI is a usage-based AI platform where every image and video generation incurs a processing cost, and those costs vary depending on the AI model and feature being used. Because of this, we offer subscription plans and credit packages that include a specific amount of AI generation usage rather than a one-time lifetime purchase. This allows us to continue providing access to the latest AI models while keeping the service sustainable and reliable for all users. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-13* This app took my money and didn’t do anything. I downloaded my photo and asked for a certain style, said it was processing…never did, took my money and then wanted to charge more **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience, that’s definitely not how the app is supposed to work. If a generation fails or does not complete, credits are automatically refunded by the system, so users are not charged for incomplete results. Sometimes it may briefly appear as if credits were used while the request is processing, but they are returned if the generation fails. We’d really like to look into what happened in your case. Please open the app and go to Settings → Report an Issue so we can review the logs and help resolve it quickly. Thank you for your feedback — it helps us improve the experience. — Sivu AI Team ### 1/5 — You have to pay for the whole app *2026-02-06* I was so mad it took me into the app just to find out that every generation you make has too bee paid for. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback — we understand the confusion. The app itself isn’t a one-time paid app. Instead, Sivu works with subscription plans (weekly, monthly, yearly). When you subscribe, you receive a set amount of credits based on your plan, and those credits are used to generate photos or videos. If you use all your included credits, you also have the option to purchase extra credits, but that’s completely optional. We’re working on making this credit system clearer in the app experience, and we appreciate you pointing this out. — Sivu AI Team ### 1/5 — The worst! *2026-01-10* No sound, and when I tried to redo it, I was out of “credits” So a broken video cost $4.99. It would have been more eventful watching my money light on fire! Run far away from this app! **Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — that’s definitely not what we want for our users. If a video fails or is incomplete, credits are automatically refunded, so you should not lose credits for a broken generation. Audio issues are also often related to device mute or volume settings, not the video itself. We’d genuinely like to look into what happened in your case and make this right. Please open the app and go to Settings → Report an Issue — this sends us your app details and logs so we can investigate and help properly. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re actively improving the app and appreciate the chance to fix issues like this. — Sivu AI Team ### 1/5 — Don’t do it!!! *2026-01-09* I downloaded this app believing that I was going to be able to generate cute AI twin Talking Heads style videos that is not the case. The app will not let you upload your photo to create the AI Twin. I decided to just go with the provided avatar and just upload my script which was about new construction homes and he created a script that used all my credits that was about five words they had nothing to do with what I uploaded. Scam likely. **Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — that’s not what we want anyone to feel. In most cases where photos can’t be uploaded for AI Twin, it’s because the app doesn’t have permission to access the photo gallery. Without gallery access, the app won’t be able to load your images correctly. This can be fixed by enabling photo access in your device settings. Regarding the script: if the generation didn’t complete properly or didn’t match what you entered, credits are automatically refunded for failed requests — they are not intended to be lost on broken results. We’d genuinely like to review what happened in your case and help fix it. Please open the app and go to Settings → Report an Issue — this sends us the technical details and logs so we can investigate properly. Thank you for the feedback. We’re actively improving clarity, permissions guidance, and reliability. — Sivu AI Team ### 1/5 — Total Garbage *2025-12-19, version 1.3.7* The Developer is a BIGGER GARBAGE!!!!! ### 1/5 — The App Sucks! *2025-12-13, version 1.3.6* I feel like this app will suck you dry! It’s a joke. And you only get 25 seconds to make a video with the AI Twin! What a joke . I just wasted $9 bucks on nothing.smh ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2025-11-22* Wish I had read the reviews first, don't buy anything that doesn't offer a free trial period. No sound. Script length basically one sentence. Guess they will make money off everyone's initial purchase over and over. Plus the AI twin absolutely cannot pass for your twin. Features are too far off. But, they got my initial purchase $ **Developer response:** Hi there, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — that’s certainly not the impression we want to leave. Sound issues are often related to device volume or mute settings, and longer scripts are supported depending on the selected mode and voice options. The AI Twin feature also depends heavily on the input photo quality, angle, and lighting, which can significantly affect likeness. We’d truly like to look into what happened in your case. Please open the app and go to Settings → Report an Issue — this sends us your app details and logs so we can investigate and help properly. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re actively improving these features. — Sivu AI Team ### 1/5 — AI video photo generator *2025-11-22* App does not fully do what I'm looking for like allowing me to do voice over, etc. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Voice-over options and customization depend on the selected mode, and we’re actively expanding these capabilities in upcoming updates. Your input helps us prioritize what to build next. If you’d like us to better understand what you were trying to achieve, please open the app and go to Settings → Report an Issue — we’d be happy to help and improve your experience. — Sivu AI Team ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This May Be the Day *2026-06-05* Every day we wake up, we need to be prepared to meet the Lord. Our lives are now being challenged by the times of the days of Noah. Those days were filled with immortality, wickedness and no one was conscious or concern of the ways of the Lord. Look at our world today. Look at our society today. We live as we are no longer conscious or concern of the presence of the Lord in the earth. The reality of it all is that the Lord can return for the church at any moment. Everything the Bible has predicted and prophesied to happen before his return, has already taken place. Wars and rumors of wars, men and women leaving their natural course of affection and men nonagon with men and women with women, corruption in government, Israel in conflict with world powers. All these are signs that the Rapture is upon us. Be careful because today just may be the day of Christ’s return. My question to you is, Are you ready for the rapture. ### 5/5 — Great App! Works amazing *2026-02-07* Peet ### 5/5 — How can this be? *2026-01-20* This is so simple . Hard to believe that this works but it does.. ### 5/5 — Currently trying out this is my second attempt at finding one that’s good will update *2026-01-06, version 1.3.8* Had a few issues but sent a report and they have got back to me and are being very helpful and giving me more credits as I messed up my first attempt.’ I am still yet to experiment with the app this evening I shall update once I figure it out. I’ll let you know if it’s worth it or not! ### 5/5 — OVERALL WORKABLE *2025-09-16* THIS APP IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! YOUR GONNA LOVE IT 😄😄😄🤚 ### 5/5 — This program *2025-07-15* I haven’t had a good chance to use this and I think a lot of the AI programs need to be free ### 5/5 — Good *2025-05-27* Usefully App ### 4/5 — No payment involved *2025-11-10* Four stars **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the 4-star review! 🙌 We’re glad you gave Sivu a try and appreciate you pointing out that no payment was involved. If you ever have feedback or ideas on how we can make it even better, feel free to reach us anytime via Settings → Report an Issue inside the app. — Sivu AI Team ### 3/5 — 200 credits a week *2026-07-14* To be fair, I don’t know how well this works but for the weekly subscription, you get 200 credits. For a five second video it cost 150 credits. And that’s with no bells and whistles upload your picture record your audio. So a 10 minute video that you may or may not like would be 18,000 credits 😕 ### 3/5 — I can’t figure it out *2026-03-11* I don’t know if I’ve purchased it or not. It lets me do a little bit of stuff but the videos only last five seconds. I’ve tried everything to figure it out, but I can’t figure out how to use it. The five second video looks good if I could finish it, it would be great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
