### 3/5 — JB

*2026-08-09*

Enganação, não corrigiu nada mais que os gratuitos podem fazer

### 4/5 — I’m new

*2026-07-30, version 4.3*

I’m new and NOT tech savvy by choice for my mental health so 4 stars means a lot coming from me

### 2/5 — Looks very Easy

*2026-07-25, version 4.2*

I’ve paid for the year but the colors can’t be manipulated or changed.  If a bright red farm hat isn’t what it looked like at the time, there’s no instruction on how to tone it down…or change it to BROWN.

My enhanced & colored photos still have writing all over the two that I’ve tried so far.  I can’t remove the words on the edges of the pic.  I want to send them for my brother’s 80th birthday on FB, but I’m unable to get the photo (w the improvements) back into my album so I can share to FB. 

Where are there instructions for using this app?  How can I tone down the color & make my brother’s jeans, not be colored pink? 

Is there  help line for questions?  Thank you!

### 2/5 — Not as Good as Ratings Suggest

*2026-07-18, version 4.2*

I paid for a week’s worth of use of this app for $10, and used it very heavily for that week primarily on some old black and white photos I obtained from a negative scanner.  The results were real hit or miss.  Occasionally, you will get a solid face enhancement or scratch remover.  The restoring function turns the picture into something completely different.  More often than not, the people you start with bear only a passing resemblance to the people in the picture. As for the colorization feature, sometimes you do get a really good result.  However, most of the time — regardless of the level of AI you use, skin coloring is way off.  The app oftentimes colors bare skin a light/darkish gray color that looks like the skin of a corpse that has been dead for a year.  I had to use Photoshop Express to manually fix these colorings.  Priced at $10 PER WEEK, this app is not worth it.  I would pay $10 total FOR the app, but no more.  There is also the problem of the advertised “turbo” mode on the free version.  It says that if you pay for the app you will get turbo processing mode.  This is frankly misleading.  Regardless of whether I used a feature on the paid version or the free version, each time I processed a picture it said it was processing it at “regular speed”.  And there was no actual difference in the processing speed between the free and paid versions.  Another issue with the free version is that it says you have to watch “AN ad” to process your picture.  AN ad invariably means TWO very long ads.  Skip this app, there has got to be a better one out there.

### 4/5 — No es gratis

*2026-06-24, version 4.2*

Es buena solo que no es gratis..

### 2/5 — Worthless

*2026-05-31, version 4.2*

It did not do anything to clarify my photo and actually changed my grandfather’s features instead of clarifying his face from grainy.  I want my $9.99 back.

### 3/5 — Encore des progrès à faire

*2026-04-26*

Encore des progrès à faire sur une photo de 1910 rajoute des antennes Tv ! Modifie les noms, transforme les visages en végétaux…

### 4/5 — Did have very small faded pictures

*2026-04-13, version 3.1*

Not quiet the sharpness I was hoping for but the images are more distinct

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-04-05, version 3.0*

I am very happy with the results, the app is very easy to use.

### 4/5 — A nice App

*2026-03-13, version 2.8*

Unexpected treat with much needed A.I. filters to fix old photos.

### 1/5 — Great app, but beware the subscription pricing trap

*2026-08-17, version 4.4*

I really like Yore and think the app itself is excellent. Unfortunately, I find the pricing structure frustrating and, frankly, somewhat predatory.

The weekly plan is $9.99/week, which works out to $519.48 per year, while the annual plans shown in the app are as low as $39.99–$49.99/year. That is an enormous difference.

I didn’t realize I was being charged weekly after my trial ended. I would absolutely consider the app worth the annual subscription price, but discovering that I had been paying $9.99 every week left me feeling taken advantage of.

It’s a shame because I genuinely like the app. But when the pricing feels designed to catch people who don’t notice the weekly renewal, it makes me reluctant to continue using it on principle.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2026-08-17, version 4.4*

First, I used a photo of my grandmother, your app did noting to restore it, then you wanted me to buy your app before I could try it again. NO THANK YOU, IF YOUR APP CANNOT GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. WHY SHOULD I BUY THIS APP?

### 1/5 — Scum

*2026-06-24, version 4.2*

Want my money back you scammed me, I had 3 days free trail and you charged $32 I will get my money back

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money.

*2026-06-15, version 4.2*

Doesn't work…. does nothing. I've complained….nothing. Don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-05-31, version 4.2*

This did almost nothing to improve a marginally blurred photo. Apple’s standard sharpness tool did a better job.

### 1/5 — No good.

*2026-05-25, version 4.2*

I tried most of the features. This could not restore the photo I got this app for. Also, when combining to people into one photo the results were horrible. Completely changed them, color and all. Did not work one bit for me. Highly unsatisfactory.

### 1/5 — Shroud and Devine Mercy images

*2026-05-11, version 4.1*

Always recreates Jesus as a woman wearing red lipstick

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2026-05-10, version 4.1*

Terrible it doesnt fix anything all it does is change the people in your photos to something else

### 1/5 — Fake advertisement

*2026-03-30, version 3.0*

I tried 5 diferent old pictures and the results weee a disaster. I got better results prompting nano banana. I requested a refund the advertisements are fake.

Also, this app looks the same failed app as Retrofix. 

I requested a refund.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2026-03-24*

Te oferecem o teste grátis, mas cobram no instante seguinte que você finaliza o processo para baixar o app com o “teste”.

### 5/5 — WOW!

*2026-07-23, version 4.2*

I can’t believe how user-friendly this is and how easy it was to restore my old photo! I had a baby picture of my 47-year-old daughter with her dad, who has now passed away. When it made the corrections and popped up with the finished photo, it took my breath away. This is simple to do and the results are astonishing. I am so excited to restore more of my old photos which have just been shoved into shoeboxes, under my bed, for years! Thank you for giving me back these memories.

### 5/5 — wow

*2026-07-04, version 4.2*

just wow. 👏👏👏👏👏

### 5/5 — Eric

*2026-06-20, version 4.2*

Just brilliant

### 5/5 — Salva recuerdos

*2026-06-07, version 4.2*

Es tan lindo poder restaurar bellos recuerdos

### 5/5 — Love pics? Get Yore!

*2026-06-07, version 4.2*

I have many old Polaroids that have faded and bled. I have corrected just a few so far, but the results are amazing. They look even better than the originals did in the 1970s and 80s. I bought the annual plan, and the cost of it is negligible, considering the results! I encourage anyone who’s been putting off working on old pictures to get this app now.

### 5/5 — Good, but

*2026-05-25, version 4.2*

I like the app. It does a very good job. However, I do have one suggestion. When the app improves a picture, you should have some way to provide feedback to the app so that the person can suggest changes. I thought that the flesh tones were too pink and would like to have had an opportunity to change the color.

### 5/5 — Unbelievable results

*2026-05-13, version 4.1*

Wow I was blown away!!! I0 stars

### 5/5 — Simply a great restoration app

*2026-05-08, version 3.1*

I’ve tried a lot of similar apps and none compare to the ease and results I’ve gotten from Yore. Many thanks to the owners and developers from Yore for helping people like me to bring back memories from long ago!

### 5/5 — .
