Please try again. It’s really really really annoying. ### 2/5 — From Bad to Worse *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* I don’t know what’s going on but this is getting worse and worse. Personal cameos physically looking super weird, not keeping instructions when creating videos wasting paid credits. Us who buys credits this is a bad thing. You guys need to follow cameo preference instructions cause you guys just establishing your own physical attributes. That shouldn’t be aloud. ### 3/5 — What *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* So one day I used all my video generations and when I came back it said”You’ve used all your video generations today come back at 1:08 PM” When I JUST opened the app ### 4/5 — Failure to create link *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* Sora is great but, I don’t know why it’s failing to create the link when it’s time to download the video you just created. ### 4/5 — Very entertaining *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the content violations they tell you are very excessive and don’t make sense sometimes. Content violations can come for something as simple as a color of clothing, and you change the color and suddenly it’s ok. But outside of that it’s the best AI app I have ever used ### 3/5 — Needs major Ai training *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* The app has been extremely fun to use. My biggest two gripes are, 1. After a couple gens or so, the Ai stops following prompt instruction and does random things not asked for. 2. Safeguards are set way too high. Almost every subject know to man has already been created so to not create an idea that isn’t similar to something else is impossible. I feel like the Ai needs to be trained better to recognize this. Other than that, cool app. Update 1: My prompt was literally “[character name] as 70’s soul singer”. A violation came back stating “May contain suggestive or racy material”. The guardrails are becoming comical at this point. Update 2: Again with the guardrails. Now I’m get a violation for using my own side character, as if I’m someone else tying to use it. This Ai can’t even distinguish whether the actual owner of the character is using it or not. It’s user recognition needs major tweaking. Update 3: Please explain to me how a wedding scene is considered “Racy Material”. Are the Devs even bothering to train it’s Ai to not flag normal human interaction at all any more? ### 2/5 — To strict *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* In simple, I ask to use one or two PG characters from a movie, put them on a golden hour balcony with a breeze, guess what!? It gets content violated. My suggestion would just to be at a age thing where you could make content with less restrictions or you could choose to make the video public and ad the age restrictions or make it private, and it will only be for you without the rest restrictions. ### 5/5 — ONE issue only. *2026-03-17, version 1.2026.68* Best open ai I’ve ever played around with. Adheres to most prompt keys. The only issue is jumpy scene transitions. ### 5/5 — Personaje DoorDash *2026-03-17, version 1.2026.68* Me encantó. Es mi primer video y está increíble! ### 5/5 — Unlock imagination *2026-03-17, version 1.2026.68* We are able to create characters and use those characters in different videos clips. Now that we are able to expand our videos ; it’s going to be a lot of fun and Sora based comics. lol ### 2/5 — Hmm *2026-03-17, version 1.2026.68* A video will generate, caption would be edited, but the posting won’t happen because the Female is “too curvy”. That makes sense .. lol ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2026-03-19, version 1.2026.76* Genuinely you cannot make anything without getting a “content restriction” violation even when things are as basic as a conversation in a hallway. I don’t think this company has one person with common sense on their team. ### 1/5 — Can’t even log in *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* App login doesn’t even work, full of bugs, bad UX ### 1/5 — Good thing it’s falling off *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* The app won’t let me post anything now and it’s saying unable to create task please try again and now they are making us pay that’s dumb ### 1/5 — Update broke it *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* I can’t create anything, everything either fails or won’t even render ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* This all used to be awesome now for the last 3 days it just says cannot perform task please try again ### 1/5 — Can’t generate videos anymore *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* The app can’t generate videos anymore without erroring out ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* Worked for a few days and now won’t let even upload any of the videos I create ! It’s so annoying ### 1/5 — FIX IT SORA NOW *2026-03-17, version 1.2026.68* I Hate You Why You Not Taking My Request Fix It ### 1/5 — I have a problem *2026-03-17, version 1.2026.68* It won’t lemme generate anything. Please fix ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-03-17, version 1.2026.68* Can’t get it to do anything but make videos of myself, babies, cartoons, stuff nobody needs ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A update bug *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* I was trying to generate a video it kept saying 'please update your app version and try again' can you help fix the bug? ### 5/5 — User Friendly *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* Incredibly easy for a newbie to get inspired and start creating very intuitive user-friendly app ### 5/5 — Im making the best ideas *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* I have ideas for a asymmetrical horror game called goofy chasers it’s a funny little horror game but it’s like dbd ### 5/5 — Suprize *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* 10/10 ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* I love this app😎 ### 5/5 — high quality video in minutes *2026-03-18, version 1.2026.76* Love Sora.
