Stancil
Subscription app only
Calling it a “free” download is misleading when you can’t actually use the features that matter. Plenty of apps let you test their core functions before asking for money—this one doesn’t.
The concept has potential, but the greed completely ruins the experience. If you’re not willing to pay a subscription just to find out whether it works for you, don’t waste your time downloading it.
Response from developer
Hi — fair feedback on the frustration, but one correction: we never call the app free. The App Store listing shows "In-App Purchases" right on the product page, and our description has a dedicated Subscription & Purchase Info section spelling out the Hobby, Pro and Studio plans and credit packs before you download. Generations can't be free because every stencil costs us real AI compute — that's the honest trade behind the pricing. If you subscribed and the quality disappointed, Apple processes refunds quickly: https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223
Perfect!

Thanks Matt — 10/10 made our day! Since you reviewed, we've shipped a full Retouch studio (brush, eraser, lighten/darken) and true-to-size printing straight from the app — hope they make your prep even faster. If anything ever falls short of perfect, support@stencilai.app reaches us directly
Awesome tool

Thank you! Built exactly for busy artists — more time tattooing, less time tracing. Appreciate the recommendation! 🙏
Not Happy - No Communication & No Refund
You via email, and no replies. It works on one of my log ins, and I’ve paid separately for another subscription under different credentials/account.
Not happy and the app is NOT working, I’ve submitted a refund request for the yearly fee I paid $499.99 and all I got back was 0.99 cents. I do not recommend this app.

Hi — we've replied to every one of your emails (three times now), so it looks like our responses are landing in your spam/junk folder — please check there and add support@stencilai.app to your contacts, we're keen to sort this out. Two important clarifications: refunds are handled entirely by Apple, not by us — we never see or decide refund amounts, so the $0.99 vs $499.99 outcome is Apple's decision on your request. Please submit (or appeal) the refund directly with Apple from the device and Apple ID the subscription was purchased on: https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223. About the app working on one login but not the other: your subscription is attached to one account — sign in to the account you want, tap "Restore purchases" in Settings → Subscription, and it will transfer. If that doesn't do it, reply to any of our emails (after checking spam!) and we'll fix it manually.
