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.

Waste of time

★★ · v2.13.1 · Oct 12, 2026

It doesn’t make you look better in any way. I put a photo in and it changed my face completely not looking like me at all. It also makes you sign up for a 7 day free trial to use the app and only lets you do 3 photos/filters because of coins. Not very good.

bad support

★ · v2.13.1 · Oct 9, 2026

does not respond to any emails and support across all platforms will ignore you.

2 stars are harder to remove

★★ · v2.13.1 · Oct 9, 2026

BEFORE U DOWNLOAD THIS APP YOU MUST KNOW THAT THEY WILLO FORCE U INTO A FREE TRIAL. WHEN U ACCEPT IT AND CANCEL IT BEFORE IT ENDS THEY WILL STILL TAKE YOUR MONEY!! PLUS THEY USE AI SLOP TO EDIT YOUR PICTURES! PLEASE DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. THIS COMPANY IS SCAMMING PPL!

Cute but not worth the price

★★ · v2.13.0 · Oct 7, 2026

The photos look cute but the photos come out similarly to AI edited photos and it’s just not worth 70 dollars

AI Generated, looks bad

★ · v2.13.0 · Oct 3, 2026

You can honestly achieve the same look by taking pics with flash + increasing contrast and saturation. This app doesn’t change much if you already shoot with flash AND it distorts your face. I didn’t see it in any of the marketing but i’m pretty sure they use AI given the credits required for each edit. For $70 a year it’s kinda ridiculous & you’d be better off buying a secondhand digicam for like $50

AWFUL

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 29, 2026

I accepted the free trial and it said it would remind me when to cancel it. IT DID NOT AND IT TOOK MY $70 IS RIDICULOUS I need a refund. The pictures are awful anyway with so much AI. The app shoudlve reminded me like it said it would. I was expecting a notification but no it expects me to check the specific app for a reminder

SCAMMERS

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 29, 2026

these people are SCAMMERS DO NOT GET THIS APP if you care about your money!!!! no customer service and they don’t reply to emails OR discord!!! They are awful!!! I can not WAIT to dispute this transaction. You people should be ashamed of yourselves I’m truly disgusted.

Scam.

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 27, 2026

Do not try the free subscription. Even if you cancel they will still charge you. I even reached out for help in their discord. When asked to dm who I assumed was an admin they did not respond to me at all. Due to this app trying to charge me I am unable to pay for subscriptions I actually want without paying this one first. Horrible.

Scam

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 26, 2026

I downloaded this app to see if it could make my blurry photo look more clear. It did not in any way and instead made my whole face distorted. Once I started the feee trial I had clicked an option that said to warn me 2 days in advance before it was over. I was not warned once. I need my money back as this app is falsely advertised and did not give any warnings.

Annoying opening

★★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 25, 2026

Just let me open and start the app for christs sake

false advertising

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 23, 2026

was excited to try this app and the filters and was severely disappointed with how the photos came out. i tried a few different options and all of the distorted my face and made it look super over edited and like AI. i think the concept is good and there is potential, but the photos are completely ruined with how they are currently turning out.

AI SLOP

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 19, 2026

Do not use

Money grab

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 19, 2026

The fact that ChatGBT can make a better edit and it’s free should how you literally wasted all your money on advertising vs making your app good it’s scam don’t even use the trial period

Disappointed

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 19, 2026

I signed up for the 7-day free trial because I wanted to test the app before deciding whether it was worth paying for. Unfortunately, I wasn’t satisfied with the results because the app noticeably changed the appearance of my face and made the photos look very AI generated and unnatural. I understood that I would be charged after the free trial, but because I wasn’t satisfied with the app, I cancelled my subscription right after the trial ended. I was still charged, which was frustrating since I cancelled as soon as I decided I didn’t want to continue.I really hope this can be resolved.

Give me my money back

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 18, 2026

terrible app and i call to get my questions answered, they don’t pick up. the app for editing sucks too, looks cheap and changes the way your face looks

You guys are greedy crooks.

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 17, 2026

The way subscriptions have gotten out of hand is insane. 10.00 A WEEK? IT SHOULD BE 10 A MONTH?? But you’re greedy . You guys are out of your minds and it’s disgusting.

AI generated

★ · v2.12.0 · Sep 16, 2026

i don’t mind using AI to edit my photos occasionally, but i usually do it myself on lightroom. i went to a concert and thought i’d try this app since it’s been popping up all over my tiktok FYP. i started the free trail and once my pics were done it completely changed me and the way i looked. it didn’t even look like me in the photos it looked so AI and i would honestly be ashamed to post these on instagram because it would be so embarrassing. i don’t recommend this app at all especially because you have to pay to even use it after the free trial

Free app but isnt free

★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 14, 2026

having to sign up for a subscription before getting to even try the app is gross

not good!!

★★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 14, 2026

it might just be me, but i’ve used this app maybe three times now and i can already tell how unnatural and bad it is. i chose many different pictures with different styles and each one distorted my face drastically. one of my pictures made me look like a demon because of the way it made my eyes look lol. anyways, it’s a good idea, just not worth $70 a year.

ai slop + false advertisement

★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 13, 2026

when i first downloaded the app, it advertised about 5 times that there was a free 7 day trial and it was $0, completely free, i go to start the free trial and it says my card declined so i just said whatever and didn't sign up. when i clicked on my venmo, this app tried to take $25!!!!! after saying multiple times that it was completely free. i used the free "coins" they give you and tried the filter and it over edited my picture and made it look completely ai generated. terrible app

Inaccurate faced: Uses AI to Edit

★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 11, 2026

Some of the photos that don’t use faces turn out alright. If you try to do ones with faces it swaps your face for someone else’s which is freaky. All the good reviews are being way too generous this app is useless.

fake advertising

★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 11, 2026

The advertisement on social media and other apps showed the results I wish I had gotten! Every single photo uploaded my face, skin color, and shape changed! The ads show what I actually want but this app doesn’t preform at all! It completely morphed me in all photos! I am super disappointed and frustrated with this app!

Scam

★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 8, 2026

As soon as I paid for the subscription, I would consistently get error messages when trying to use the filters on this application very disappointing

DO NOT BUY

★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 4, 2026

This app is a total scam. It turns your photos into CREEPY bizarre non human AI faces, literally warps your face. Do not buy. Huge waste of money!

Just AI

★ · v2.11.0 · Sep 1, 2026

This isn’t a filter, it’s just generative AI so my face looked like a totally random person. Not me. Definitely misleading marketing. I thought it would be a filter, but no.
