Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Not the worst but a close second

★ · v4.39 · Oct 12, 2026

Generates people with 3 arms, 10 fingers, doesn’t animate images when you ask it too, placement of object are way off. It was good early on but now it’s not usable

Estafa

★ · v4.39 · Oct 12, 2026

Te hacen pagar un dólar por la prueba “gratuita” pero para usar las herramientas te piden $10, que burla

Terrible

★ · v4.39 · Oct 11, 2026

Add a membership, I remember giving you 500 coins a month, and if you didn’t use it, you just didn’t get more. But if you use it, you can generate 500 and pay for the description. I stopped getting it. now you gotta pay for coins, whatever. I remember, cause I was generating stuff all the time.

Not worth it

★ · v4.39 · Oct 7, 2026

Everything is an ad or behind a paywall

Paywall

★ · v4.39 · Oct 4, 2026

If your entire app is paid then why don’t you include that in your description or somewhere else. waste of time.

They decide not you

★ · v4.39 · Sep 27, 2026

The app developers decide how you get to use the app no editing blocks or things like that, you can’t even trust the same art style is gonna stay on the app cus the change them out of the blue which makes AI inconsistency even worse and they keep asking me to give the a review and so I got mad and in stead of 4 stars they get one for harrasing me

Fake

★ · v4.39 · Sep 25, 2026

Doesn’t look anything like me on the picture. 😪

Paid .99 cents for nothing

★ · v4.39 · Sep 18, 2026

Wanted to try a 7 day trial for .99 cents. It charged me and would not register that I already paid it and tried to charge me again! And I never got to open the app or even create a profile! Only .99 cents but still annoying don’t even get to try it.

It’s not free!

★ · v4.39 · Sep 17, 2026

Lame! It’s not even free to try!

Too few options.

★ · v4.39 · Sep 16, 2026

Very few options to do a male picture. They look like you did a bad cut and paste.

Privacy concern

★★ · v4.39 · Sep 12, 2026

I have a privacy concern about a this image generator. It was my first time using the app, and I only uploaded a photo that showed my face. However, when it generated an image of me, it also reproduced a small black dot in the exact location on my arm/forearm where I have one even though that part of my body was not visible in the photo I uploaded. How could the generator know about such a specific detail if it only had access to my face photo? Does the app have access to other photos in my phone’s gallery, or could it have accessed my photos without me realizing it? I’m concerned about whether my private photos and personal information are being accessed or used without my knowledge.

Rip off

★ · v4.39 · Sep 12, 2026

Got iOS and no access photo tab pops up in settings

Seriously?

★ · v4.39 · Sep 12, 2026

You’re forced into a subscription to use the app. Don’t do it.

Scam. Says .99 trial, billed $39.99

★ · v4.39 · Sep 12, 2026

As the title says, now I have to spend my time trying to get my money back?!! Shouldn’t be legal

Waste

★ · v4.39 · Sep 11, 2026

Waste of money. Can’t do cool stuff. Hard to use.

Inappropriate

★ · v4.38 · Sep 8, 2026

This is very offensive to me and I never want to see this kind of trash on my phone again

Stop making people pay for the subscription there’s more important stuff in this world

★ · v4.38 · Sep 6, 2026

No $

“Something Went Wrong”

★ · v4.38 · Sep 3, 2026

😒 every time I go to the image generator and do the playground to edit a photo to my liking, I keep getting a “Oops! Something went wrong” every single time. I did the update, I even subscribed and now I have to deal with this?? What’s the point in having “playground” as an option if it won’t work.

Buyer beware

★ · v4.38 · Sep 2, 2026

You get credits then if it doesn’t create properly you’ll still charged credit. This is a huge conflict of interest. They mess up you pay no matter what. Should be if you like it then be able to download or save not take. A lot of times it changes your face completely that doesn’t even appear to be you. One see it added a women when selected family with me and my 2 children. Any of the free ones work just as if not better than this garbage. Can’t believe some people gave it 5 stars. They must work for the company that designed this garbage.

Refund

★ · v4.38 · Sep 2, 2026

Until I hear from this developer I will not be updating my review. This was an accidental purchase. I uninstalled app, reached out minutes later to Apple for refund they refused twice and told me to reach out to the developer. I’ve done so and also my credit card company. I understand it’s my accidental purchase but I’m looking for a refund for a product I’m not using.

Won’t let me cancel no keyboard😡

★ · v4.37 · Aug 30, 2026

Cancelled want this but you won’t let me type anything

Was great for a while but started glitching

★ · v4.37 · Aug 29, 2026

Loved the app until they got rid of the style model nanobanana and the app started glitching and deleting the generations that I paid for and they got rid of the bookmark feature to save the generations I liked.

Not what I was looking for

★ · v4.37 · Aug 21, 2026

I was using the app for pictures of me to create a vision board. However, all the pictures I used made me look horrible. One even made me look like I had no teeth. I unsubscribed but I was still charged. Not pleased.

Why remove the best models?

★ · v4.37 · Aug 21, 2026

They removed all the best models!!!

Subscription merely provides opportunity to buy

★ · v4.37 · Aug 20, 2026

Cant afford . Thought the yearly cost covered use for a year . However it merely allows you access to spend $$ for every thing you want to do . Asking for a full refund . Since i tried to cancel immediately after downloading . App is also too complicated for me to use . Please help .

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
