My first attempts were rejected for community compliance. I was attempting to get a fake person singing happy birthday. I tried phrases that fit within the available text field and got different results than expected. More specific descriptions got better results, as expected, but the clips were too short for any use but time-limited social media. My last attempts were to generate a 2D display of proto-Canaanite pictographic alphabet, one character at a time. The screen results were not deciferable. I think the phrase input field needs a multi-line textarea type control on the front end. Possibly users like me reading more instructions before use. P ### 1/5 — NOT THE REAL SORA *2024-02-28* The official sora is not yet available to public, this company is using the “sora” look to make you think its sora, but it’s not. I tried it, and I got a super low quality crappy video, nothing compared to what sora does, or even these other free ai generators ### 1/5 — SCAM, just because it is on the AppStore doesn’t mean that it is legit *2024-02-27* Warning: Be cautious of this fraudulent app. It falsely claims to be the official Sora software used by ChatGPT. Instead, it tricks users into paying exorbitant subscription fees for a service that promises AI-generated videos but delivers nothing. Customer service is unreachable, and the app's history reveals it has been public for about a year, despite the recent announcement of SORA. To legitimately access the software, visit the website on a computer and request an invitation to try the Beta version. This app is counterfeit. If you've subscribed, seek a refund immediately! ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-02-27* This is not the Real open ai sora, i’ve tried creating a video using short prompts and it does not work at all as described in the ad. don’t fall for this scam. it’s a modded chat gpt 3.5 with image features ### 1/5 — Such a waste *2024-02-26* I paid 9.99 for a week trial, it worked the first few hours and now won’t create anything. Everything I enter says “inappropriate content” Even the most simple request will not load. I lost $9.99 so you don’t have to. ### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Money *2024-02-25* Everything I type, the response comes back “Inappropriate Content”. How is “walking through Times Square” inappropriate? Waste of money. Don’t bother downloading. ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2024-02-25* It won’t let me make any video / it says inappropriate content no matter what prompt I put in ### 1/5 — Try before you buy *2024-02-25* Unfortunately there is no option to try this app without paying for it. I’m hopeful that the developers will create a free version for people to experiment with and see if they like it before paying for something they might be disappointed in. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-02-24* App doesn’t work even after putting in prompts ### 1/5 — It doesn’t do anything *2024-02-24* I have tried several times to submit my text in order to generate the video. Absolutely nothing happens. I am very glad I signed up for the most limited (week by week) subscription. I have now canceled it. ### 1/5 — Oh *2024-02-24* The video only have two seconds ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for. *2024-02-23* It generated a few decent gif-like images but now it’s not even working. I try to keep my descriptions short yet imaginative and the app just stalls on “starting” indefinitely. It’s still doing this even after closing and restarting the app several times. There’s nothing here that I can’t get from using a search engine and I’m annoyed that I just paid 10 dollars for a so-so app that still needs a lot of work. Lesson learned. ### 1/5 — Question 🙋🏻‍♂️ *2024-02-23* I just bought the app yesterday. I’m in the process of creating my first video. It’s been stuck in “starting” since last night. I restarted and it’s been several hours and has not created a video. What should I do? ### 1/5 — Way too restrictive *2024-02-23* Highly censored and can’t handle highly descriptive content ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good *2024-08-24* Not worth the weekly subscription much less 100 dollars a year. Each video I tried, locked up at 45 percent and never completed. There are no tools to use to make edits, select aspect ratio, set video length, etc… you can’t even edit the video description if you make a mistake without out having to basically delete the text as you write it. I should hope I can find something better for my money. ### 1/5 — Having a lot of difficulty getting videos processed *2024-06-19* Video takes longer than 5 minutes to generate not as they indicated. And mostly they end up with an error message instead of getting a video. Moreover, all videos are only 00:04 long. ### 1/5 — Fraudulent App *2024-04-11* This app is fake, ignore the review you see up there, this app ask for payments before you could open it, I did subscribe hoping to see how it works, immediately the payment was confirmed the app stopped working, I can’t use it to make any video. I payed 108 dollars for this fake app. I don’t know why Apple allow apps like this on the Apple Store. Something is not right. Why would anyone give a half star for this app. Shame on the developer, get a life. I’ll give the one star so I can post the review here for others to see scammers ### 1/5 — Constant errors don't waste your money *2024-03-22* Tried multiple times to create videos without success with the paid version Don't waste your time don't waste your money. Wait for updates. ### 1/5 — Useless without payment, not OpenAI’s Sora *2024-03-11* When you download the App it immediately prompts you to start a paid subscription. You can click the X in the corner to dismiss it then it takes you to type in prompt text. Regardless of what you type in, when you hit generate it prompts you to select a subscription payment option, not allowing you to continue without paying. Also, the App likes to largely display SORA and Video AI in it’s marketing and App Icon but this is not Open AI’s Sora model but some kind of Open-Source derived model. Not sure that it’s legal to that and I’m kind of disappointed that the App Store allows apps to do things like this. ### 1/5 — Completely useless *2024-03-07* I was very specific and detailed about my prompts. I couldn’t get anything remotely useful for my social media. I wish it worked but it’s pretty terrible. Also I still haven’t figured out how to cancel the subscription. Grrrt ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2024-03-06* Honestly for a non functional app they should have it in free trial before forcing me to pay to try. Definitely getting a refund. The app is so simple that it’s dumb …. It says starting but nothing happened. ### 1/5 — Terrible and inaccurate *2024-03-05* The sponsored post suggested I could add a image and then it would turn into a video. There is no option to add an image and the generated video had 3 legs. Please return my money immediately. ### 1/5 — Refund please *2024-03-05* Developer can you please issue me a refund? This app does not properly process prompts and i can’t use it. Also there is no place to ask for a refund on the website ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-03-05* This service only worked for 5 videos and after it doesn’t/hasn’t uploaded anything else. I definitely felt scammed out of this experience. Not recommended. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — User *2024-03-03* Totally not ready. It gives two-3 seconds of a figure and nothing more. A scam which I paid $10 for just one week. ### 5/5 — Spensive *2024-02-28* Expensive, really needs longer clip time. Good nonetheless, very cool. ### 5/5 — Wasted money *2024-02-23* only 5 seconds。Got ripped off. Wasted money！ ### 5/5 — I Love It! *2023-06-06* I love it. It can help me a lot. It can help people to see my story that I have to tell. ### 3/5 — This program is not what I expected. I would like my money back and unsubscribe please. *2024-03-06* This program is not what I expected. I would like my money back and unsubscribe please. ### 3/5 — Having difficulty with interfacing app *2023-05-09, version 1.1* I know these AI apps are developing everyday, and I’d like to be the first to congratulate you for your launch sir! And I’m hoping I was your first subscriber for nine dollars I think? So that would give me “clout”. I’m having difficulty finding tools to help me make my commercial perhaps further development? I unfortunately will have to unsubscribe as me needs have pressing time constraints, but shall check on your progress in the future! Also I thought you would like to know you were the first suggestion a VERY popular chatgtp suggested so….tremendous job!! I won’t submit a refund to you or my bank instead you keep it and I hope that your end product is beyond even your expectations!! ### 2/5 — Paid $99 has massive bugs *2024-02-28* I know this is new technology and needs worked out but the price shouldn’t be this high and it needs this much work still done to it as the videos rendered have big glitches and other issues. Hope these bugs are worked out soon I was really excited to be let down this much. ### 2/5 — Why so short? *2024-02-23* I want to like this app so badly, but no matter what I try, the clips are only about one second long, even if I say, make a 10 second clip. And there is no way to find help or contact support in the app, so I’m stuck with something that seems incapable of creating anything I can actually use. ### 2/5 — Issues with functionally *2024-02-21* I have an iPhone 14, idk if maybe I’m doing something wrong, but once I put in a prompt, even after waiting about 15-20 minutes, nothing happens. Would love to really sink my teeth into this app, the possibilities and capabilities but it just doesn’t seem to work. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it, I cleared extra space in my storage, nothing seems to work. ### 2/5 — Not the best out there *2023-05-15, version 1.1* Unique in concept to some degree, but hardly functional. After paying the cost of $9.99 for a 7 day period (with no trial offered) I found result after result of little to nothing at all. Tv static like moving images with a shutterstock watermark atop it. Not the best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
