### 5/5 — Finally.. something free that works!!

*2024-12-01*

Most graphic design/photo enhancing apps are either paid or "free" with pay-to-access-results nowadays. FINALLY! Something that is free and does what it says. I'm gatekeeping this (sorry😔) and keeping my fingers crossed that all current features stay free to use 🙏 I never write reviews but I had to to let the developers know how much I appreciate this not being another free app with hidden paywalls in order to get any use out of it. THANK YOU!! 💙

### 3/5 — Missing Basic Features

*2024-11-13*

I just want to say that this app is by far the best in terms of image quality. 

However, image selection functionality is limited to just the iOS photos app and does not support batch importing/batch upscaling. 

Would be so much better and more intuitive if we could see other ways to pick and to save image files, such as thru the files app.

One of the biggest flaws is that the photos app uses very generic sequenced image file names, so it can become very messy very quickly, since the only fix to this would be to have the ability to save to files and choose what to name each image file.

### 1/5 — Never finished a photo!

*2024-10-02*

Thought this was going to be great for photos. Much to my dismay I’ve waited over 1/2 hour for many photos to upscale and it never finishes.  I finally just close out!

**Developer response:** Sorry for this experience. It was a temporary error, and everything is working fine now. Please email us at hello.upscaleapp@gmail.com, and we will do our best to make up for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2024-10-01*

For the past month no matter what time of day or night this app has not worked once! I didn’t pay for this app to watch a “lava lamp” simulation.

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear about your experience over the past month. This isn’t the standard we aim for. The issue has been resolved, and the app should now be working as expected. Please contact us at hello.upscaleapp@gmail.com, and we’ll be happy to offer compensation for the inconvenience you’ve faced. Thank you for your patience.

### 1/5 — Improve this bug

*2024-08-15*

Hello I'm fan of this app and you let us recharge the weekly version cuz I was too addicted to try x16 upscale and when I recharge it option say it can't give you this upscale too big pixels and pic.. I try lot of pictures same message hope to let us use this option x16 and fix this bug

### 1/5 — No updates - poor app

*2024-07-19*

There's no updates being provided at all. No provision to select multiple images at once. Stay away

### 4/5 — Subject to review.

*2024-07-13*

Not a bad little app. Did a little playing around with this. Worth the price for sure. No artifacts that I could see. Would have to take the after shot into photoshop to see the after image and do some further digging. Other than that for the average person this little app works just fine.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-06-11*

Looks great

### 2/5 — Remains low resolution

*2024-06-01*

The processing takes a long time. It does upsize the image, but it remains 72ppi. The app doesn't have any feature for batch processing either. i'm looking for something that would give me 300ppi and batch processing. thanks for letting me try the app, but I canceled the subscription.

### 1/5 — Think some of these are fake reviews. Does absolutely nothing positive

*2024-05-29*

The app promises blurry photos become beautifully sharp similar to what you could achieve with Portrait Pro or Topaz on a computer but it literally does nothing. I’ve tried it with dozens of samples from barely unclear to very blurry and the result is photos that look exactly the same as the original except with a terrible plastic look of noise is on. You can’t upscale a blurry iPhone photo more than 2x but it’s irrelevant anyways as it’s just multiplying the info already in the photo, so blurry just becomes larger format blurry. The supposed ai that fixes the blur does nothing that can be seen.  I can manually fix it better in the Lightroom app. It would be amazing to be able to fix blurry photos in an app but this is not the answer. Thankfully they have a three day trial to test before you lose your money.

**Developer response:** Hello! We're very sorry to hear about your experience. We strive to provide the best upscaling, unblurring, and enhancement features. However, the results can depend on the photos you're using. Could you please share more details about the photos you tried to improve? This will help us understand and fix the issue. You can email us at hello.upscaleapp@gmail.com. We appreciate your help and will gladly offer you a bonus for your time. Thank you!
