this thing is nonsense how can I subscribe and pay for something I have not seen the results of?? infact my ratings are 0

The AI change my face so I haven't be able to use any of the videos and of course I loose my money!

it's hard to skip paywall also I'm asked for a review during onboarding already

Please,let us install this app it's amazing and easy to use

Video are different from what is advertised!

the best thing content I ever made it's good to create and make great pictures

videos didnt even come over in English!

Very bad experience. I paid for one week and only got one try with the White Chicks AI video. The video wasn't properly synchronized, and the quality was nowhere near what was advertised. If I want to try again, I have to buy more coins, even though I'm still within the week I already paid for.

complete garbage. won't load any photos

I don't write these much but I typed something and it gave me something completely different and u start out with 6 coins but loading a photo takes 5! that sucks so u need to pay for more coin (I didn't) it's a scam, it doesn't load the photo right, it makes the image all janky, and it overall just sucks.

if you are seeing for a free app then it is very bad but if You are seeing for good ai generateror but money instead of it then it's the best choose

Absolute rip off you can't understand the words to the song. putting in a dispute for my money back. Not as advertised.

in app purchases are insane. ripoff! Edit: AI services cost money” and “these prices are reasonable” are two very different statements. We all know AI has operating costs; that doesn't magically justify absurdly priced in-app purchases. If your best defense of the pricing is a copy-pasted apology explaining that AI isn't free, you haven't actually defended the pricing—you've just confirmed you don't have a better explanation. But nice try!

does not work well at all and you have to buy a subscription to just try it. it was so awful and very difficult to cancel it....still trying.

Changes the faces completely when you upload pictures and the video one I made it didn't even put the words to it

doesn't really deliver. American dance video, that cost 30 coins was in spanish smmfh. Should be able to get coins back if videos don't come out right.

fake sounds...subscription then purchase tokens...then it does not work as show in "trial"

once you pay then you find out you get a very very limited amount of pictures to use. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

I paid for subscription but it's not letting me make any pictures it keeps saying error

Generated clip is only 10 seconds. Also the reason I paid for the app was to use the AI generated clip for "A thousand Miles" from the movie White Chicks. The AD on tiktok portrayed it to be the exact song. The song on my AI generated clip does not even sound close. I'll contact support to ask for a refund and share the clip as well if needed.

I wish I read the reviews before purchasing. Horrible app the video i selected doesn't play the song. Waste of time and money. Don't bother.

Purchased a pack for £8.99 didn't work. wanted me to pay again which I refused. I then spent 2 days chasing for a fix or refund and still nothing! Terrible customer service!!

Absolutely horrible app. Do not waste your money. Whoever came up with this obviously needs more training in AI or graphic design. Pathetic and disgraceful to people who actually know what they are doing.

very poor app, you have to subscribe to it and still have to pay for fees, so I wasted $8, even though you pay you still cant enjoy the app without paying even more money I give it ZERO STARS

hmmm this app even with ur data nothing is free either u're using coins or u're paying no free template. I deleting asap

Horrible image results that look nothing like the subject. Would like full refund. Have coins left I don't even want to use. Literally got ONE decent image out of hundreds a attempts. TRASH!

I paid but couldn't use the service n they r not giving me refund, I tried there helpline n email as well but ofcourse they dont care once they took the money

My AI profile is not accurate and I can't figure out how to change it. My generated pictures all are 3 times bigger than I actually am. I tried to redo it and it charges me more, even though they were not right the first time.

Imagine paying annual fee just to find out that you the few coins you get upfront get you 3 lousy pictures that don't resemble you at all....and to generate more pics you now need to pay for more bloody coins!! It gets better...the more popular the filters cost a lot more coins, like 54. Their coins model is plain extortion! Keep scrolling for a better app as the annual fee essentially gets you the app icon on your phone screen that you can't use. False advertisement thieves. I feel robbed!

Needs work . Pictures are not clear. There finished photos are not even close to matching me . If I have short hair I end up with long hair if I have long hair and it's blonde I end up with photos of half dark . like I said this app Needs a lot of work to match what is out there . Don't bother keep looking. Not happy. Even spent again 2 more times so 3 times total 7.99 each for brand new profiles did not help . Takes forever for coins I refuse to buy any more . Like I said there is better .

Low quality and extremely short generated videos with very poor transitions. 5 minutes to create a 3 second video with the laziest transitions I have ever seen. I cannot believe I bought a year long membership for this. Uninstalling. Update: Contact support? What for? This is clearly a money grab to generate poor quality AI slop. How is support going to help with that?

C'est Magnifique et Phenomenal! It's ONE of THE BEST, I couldn't without. Thank you so much indeed for the great work to achieve such App. I speak from my experience. When you found a new hobby making a Video for the start, you'll love to share with people to watch that Video. Yes, because you're very proud and happy your Video at its BEST. So, you said "I need an App to help me the Video looks Proffesional and beautiful "Searching by Google you'll find a lot of possibilities. Thank You!

doesn't follow the prompt and angle AT ALL. i prompted detailed clothing and it doesn't follow even a single detail, i prompted "from front" including choosing full body front shot but the result always a photo from back, always. this is dumb.

this app works off of a credit system and it gives you six credits to start, but pretty much everything in the app costs more than that. So you literally have to pay to use almost anything in the app. even the recommended AI edits that it has if you want to try out cost at least 18 credits, it's a total cash grab. don't try it unless you're okay with throwing away money.

My daughter decided to give it a try, and immediately it was an upfront “no.” We’re not about to come out of pocket just to sample or test a platform. These prescription-style subscriptions are getting out of hand. It feels like nothing but a money grab. A weekly fee, plus $99 a year — for what? It’s just a game platform, not a legitimate web studio or real photographer experience. Good luck to those spending $6 a week and $99 a year, we found -Dawn Al it's a better platform $3.99 reasonable

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. This app sucks. I used a professionally taken photo of my car (1981 Malibu), and it is the ONLY vehicle in the photo. The only other thing in the photo is some trees. THE VIDEO GENERATED IS OF A GODDAMN CYBERTRUCK... Did you guys even USE the photo? This app is phony as hell. I can't believe I wasted $9 on stupid credits for this. I would rate this zero stars if I could. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

I'm not just going to pay money without seeing what it can do. It shows 6 credit from the start but you get NOTHING for free to even try. Maybe if we could create at least 3 photos and/or short 10 second videos would be suggested. Fix and maybe I'll try again and maybe pay.

Pay $40 for a year and they still try to extort more money out of you by giving you coins and wanting you to buy more when you run out. Have to wait weeks to get more coins without paying extra money. On top of all that, the AI videos are not even that good. Definitely will not be renewing this subscription.

Didn't do what the promo showed on Instagram. Plus if you want to generate more than a few videos in a day you have to pay extra. Absolute waste of time. Far better AI apps out there. I got a refund on it from the Play Store.

Doesn't have trial version don't wanna spend my hard earned money against subscription without a sample testing,, they could have given at least one single sample to check the quality and accuracy.. also saw a lot of bad reviews regarding those who already wasted their money

Just like all the other 1 stars reviews pointed out but I'd like to add the video portion doesnt even insert your Pic or anything into the whole video its just the one clip. downloaded cuase I seen their add for a video I really wanted to try and yup, should've did my research first, total waste of money.

hate apps that don't allow you to at least get a feel for it without paying or subscribing, they should have to have that visible when advertising the app. I will never buy any subs or pay for something I don't get to try out and see how it works. so I downloaded it and immediately deleted it again. shame.

*update* Charged me another week after I tried to cancel. Requested a refund for the second week and declined. Never again the choices are not even that great, but the ones I used were sufficient. I never received a refund and I cant understand what was sent. (I had it translated)

I don't usually write reviews but this was a waste of my time and money. I'm not one for bashing things on the internet but just move on. Don't give these people your money. Pricing on this app is predatory. To add a profile it costs as much as a week's subscription. In comparison, competitors include this feature in subscription. AI is horrible. I added photos without make up and it just copy and pasted my face to images. It looked awkward and as if AI was restricted to the template too much.

This application presents a deceptive value proposition. Users are required to pay a weekly subscription of €5 for basic functionality. While the generated images are acceptable, integrating an additional person's face incurs an extra charge of €8, and usage is subject to a credit limit. More competitive alternatives are available in the market.

no free options, overpriced pay by week model, there are tools that work as well or if not better for free, look up Grok, cannot scroll through settings without being shoved into it, touch controls do not work properly in this app to force more engagement, app simply does not work unless you allow unrestricted access to your phone's storage which screams potential abuse, waste of money

The picture's resolution looks good until you zoom it in and notice it's not on HD, which makes it look unprofessional on social media. When comparing with other apps you realize it doesn't have the quality of a high definition AI looking picture. I'm thinking of requesting a refund.

I installed it a few days ago and to tell you the truth it's useless! I've uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail it constantly just blacks out my screen and never loads. Get it together or quit advertising it! im uninstalling it for good I guess. I'm very disappointed for real!

Unistalling. This app sucks. You have to pay for it without at least using it or seeing how it works. Word to the wise gives us a reason to want to pay before hold your hand out, especially since so many apps offer AI pictures for free.

I feel ripped off by this app. You have to buy coins to use it even after paying a subscription fee. the Avatar created can be achieved for free from other free apps, so its not worth the investment for me. Its an over rated app in my option. I have requested them to delete my data and process my refund. I am yet to find out about their response time and query resolution. I don't recommend investing in this app at the moment.

Don't Waste Your Money or your time. You get better quality images on other apps for free. The subscription doesn't unlock much of anything, and then you have to use a coin system that gives you a weekly allowance or pay for more... it doesn't make sense. It's not easy to navigate. The few photos I did make weren't nearly the quality advertised, nor did the images look close enough to the actual person to be worth keeping. It's not worth it!

you have to buy 6.99 a week. then u only get so many coins. you have to purchase coins to get more photos. you can only have one profile. they just want more more more money. this is ridiculous why pay for a subscription if you cant really use it. Just let u get coins and no subscription 🙄

I really enjoy using this app and have been very happy with it overall. Recently, I had an issue with extra coins I purchased — they were charged but not added to my account. The support team resolved the issue very quickly and successfully credited the coins to my account. Thank you so much for the fast and helpful support!

mid. I've seen better apps w more customization and although When I made my profile I only had two pictures with ombre pink hair everything else my hair was either brown or ombre blonde but every single picture generated had pink curly hair no style switch up which is super annoying especially when you pay for it and you just keep getting the same hairstyle in color that you don't even wear that often.

This app is a waste of money. You have to pay extra for multiple profiles, but you can’t even select two profiles together to create couple images. The subscription doesn’t unlock basic features, and they still charge tax and add-on fees after you’ve already paid. The app is not user-friendly, confusing to navigate, and absolutely not worth the cost. It's a ripoff, and I doubt getting a refund from Google Play will be easy. Save your money the ads make it look way easier than it actually is

When you download the app for free it says you can unlock additional features with a subscription.. but this subscription isn't optional. I had 6 free tokens that came with the app and tried using one of the packs that cost 6 tokens.. the app then says you have to create an AI profile in order to use this. I spent time taking 6 pictures for this profile only to find out that in order to complete the profile I need to subscribe to the premium option. At this point just make it a paid app.

Do not install. waste of time. 1. can't fully recognize faces in very clear selfies 2. forces you to upload 10 pictures (recognizable) for a profile 3. then states you can't even move forward with the free coins it gives you without paying for a subscription. not worth the frustration, I spent like 15 mins submitting pictures that are very clear selfies, like strictly face selfies in good lighting, for it to tell me there was no faces detected. try a different app, this one sucks.

100% nonfunctional why does Google allow apps this broken to post on the play store? this app literally won't even launch. it crashes immediately on trying to open and has even caused my entire phone to crash. 😒 do yourself a favor and never install this garbage. this is the only app I've ever had so this. it should be removed from the play store immediately.

Thankfully I only paid the 1 week to test it out. Another app that works with credits/coins in addition to paying a subscription. When trying to generate a couple of pictures it generated a completely random person that doesn't even look like me. When asking to regenerate the picture (another 2 coins/credits), it created another random person that doesn't look like me. Very disappointing and useless. Uninstalled.

Had I known purchasing this app limits use that requires purchasing "coins" I wouldn't have invested in this app. I use several AI apps that cost less and give better results. Lots of flaws with the images on here, like with the hands which is a big red flag. It also uses the same face for people in background. Why would I want to be at a concert with a bunch of people that look like duplicates? if you don't like the result of the first "profile" created, too bad cause you gotta pay for it again

will update if it gets resolved, however, images do not appear as they are advertised to appear, lot of AI style errors with extra fingers and things, also you cannot edit a profile and once its deleted it asks you to pay again to create a corrected one. was just hoping to have some fun joining in on the fun did not even anticipate the issues.

I don't like the fact that there's a subscription charge, AND in ap purchase is mandatory if you want to continue using the ap after your initial 'coins' are used up (which is easy to do since each regeneration of a photo charges 3-8coins). They dont even get the images correct on the first try, so you have to keep using your coins for a decent shot. Oh, and the wait to replenish your coins should you decide not to make an in ap reup purchase is 167 HOURS .. are u kidding?!? DELETING NOW.

downloaded the app and after it opens up i can scroll up down left and right But I can't even select anything, even uninstalled and installed multiple times still doesn't work. i have the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra by the way. and i even paid the subscription this app is completely Useless

I paid $7.99 just to keep getting denied when I try to make my AI profile with my saved pictures of myself in my gallery they start to load and it only makes it through a couple of them and then kicks me back out to either edit or something I don't know it doesn't tell me what's the issue

this app is a fraud. do not waste your money. after payment has been taken the app just froze. I restarted the app, restarted my phone (pixel 9 pro xl) and nothing is going on. instead of an app I've got just a picture of different options and none of them actually works. wasted my money do not repeat my mistake. I'm surprised how google playstore allows something like this. I'll contact them as well regarding this scam

The quality of the AI videos are not as they are advertised. It was also never mentioned that you'd have to pay for a weekly subscription that includes a limited number of coins, each video is 18 coins and I was only given 66 coins. In the first video, they eyes are not even moving along with the motion, they were delayed. The portraits in the second video don't even look like they original photos. I was definitely disappointed and of course, have to now find where to cancel the subscription.

Seems like they've fixed the app at least for me and the ai does an overall decent job of making pictures that look like the source pictures. So im changing from a 1 star to a 4 star. price of each set of pictures is reasonable. There's a decent amount of variety although id love to see more variety added.

The service comes with a monthly subscription fee, and it’s important to note that there is an additional charge if you decide to add a new member to your account. Furthermore, you’ll incur extra costs if you use up all your coins, as each image typically requires one coin to access. This can quickly add up, making it quite an expensive proposition. To add to your concerns, there are no new designs available once you've exhausted the existing options; when you reach that point, your experience c

can't even test anything cause every single this you have to pay for can't even create a profile without payment. not even a free trail or a watch a ad for one time view nothing. potentially a good app. but my one Stars stands because I have to pay to even experienced anything

I edited my original review which was payment related to a real content review. At first I liked this app a lot. you upload about 10 photos of your face and it generates images in cool settings and styles. In the beginning these images were interesting because they "looked" like ME. Then I don't know what happened but they started to look less and less like me and I kept wasting coins generating more images and even spending real money to create new set of face uploads, but none look like me

The app was amazing at first, but now it just freezes all of the time when I try to make additional profiles. Not sure if the latest update has created a glitch? It needs to be fixed otherwise I'll have to cancel my subscription.

fake app. only wants access to give you constant notifications. the app has no ability to do anything other than spam you with advertisements. they want to force money out of you. also, I'm pretty sure they don't have a contract to be displaying F1 logos. that's one of the few logos you don't display on a paid for app. I'll just report it to them with all of these screenshots. (not to mention to many other logos from Mercedes they put on this) also look at their fake reviews.

Makes u pay $9 just to use it and then ur 160 coins are gone like that even tho ur a member and only using 6 coins for each filter. So they take more than just 6. Then as a member u gotta wait a week for ur 160 coins to reload. Which is another week of $9 subscription they charge. App is a scam. Once u pay everything should be free and u take more than 6 coins. Just want us to buy more coins why we wait a week for a reload and another subscription charge. What a scam !!!!

This app is absolutely awful. It’s hands-down the worst AI app I’ve ever tried. It constantly buffers, logs you out right when you click generate, and forces you to buy more tokens than any other platform. The AI pictures it makes are cheesy, unrealistic, and not even close to professional quality. Apps like Filmora and others are way better and actually worth your time. This one? Pure garbage. Avoid at all costs.

Very disappointed. The AI-generated photos look nothing like the originals—completely inaccurate results after four attempts. Each profile costs $7.36, and you're forced to create a new one every time, plus a $5.99 weekly fee. I spent $42.79 for a service that didn’t deliver. Google refused a refund, citing policy. This feels like a scam. The service is not as advertised. I request a full refund.

App is not bad, but its a scam. It doesn't let you know that if you delete your AI profile, you will need to pay for another one. I was stuck with no AI profile even tho I had a subscription. I decided to give it a chance and wait a week for a next payment. jokes on me. took my money but I am still unable to crate new profile and it still wants more money for a new AI profile. Support was no help. avoid. or never delete your profile because you get stuck in a payment loop but can't use it.

Terrible app. Stay away. Signed up for the annual subscription,. the app claims to provide one free profile slot, I created my profile, deleted it and tried to recreate using new/better quality images, now Aura AI wants me to pay $111 more to recreate my profile. Remini is far superior and doesn't have such scam, price gouging policies. Reached out to their support team, no responses. now I'm stuck with an annual subscription and still need to pay more to create a single profile.

Absolute scam. I tried to upload 8 photos and it wouldn't accept my real ones. Apparently real are "low quality" so I ended up adding ones that were already AI. I then got to the profile section and it would not accept my username. I suspect they're harvesting people's photos to create new images. Jokes on them because they were already AI from another site so they got nothing new.

Kinda disappointed you pay subscription and only get 60 coins they run out fast then u need to keep buying more coins. you would think after paying subscription you wud be able to use the app with out constantly topping up. The Ai photos were good but the videos advertised are false advertisement they're are pretty grim. I did the wrestling vid and few frames moved that was it. Defo unsubscribing

After a few uses, I notice that the filters and other options don't produce good images for me. The motion pictures that were created have the classic missing or extra fingers. AI has come too far to still be having these issues. once my credits are used up, I'll be deleting.

Very disappointing – feels like a scam Despite paying for a subscription, the app runs out of coins after just a few photos, and you’re forced to buy more – it’s a total rip-off. There’s also no "selfie with celebrity" feature, even though it's advertised online. I feel completely misled and disappointed.

scam app. looks like it gives you 6 credit but you can not spend these because you have to create an ai profile and creating an ai profile is paid. so it is impossible to spend your 6 credit at all. just an illusion. waste of time, don't download it.

make it make sense??? I give this app a one star because it makes you pay for a subscription to access the app AND THEN it only gives you a limited credits? what am I subscribed to accessing an app??? at that point may access free and charge for the credits.

They are promoting their App taking a photo with your favorite celebrity, but that effect does not exist in the App. Also there is no Testing Period which makes it even harder to trust them. Deinstalled it!

The ai looks horrible and cheaply done with low seeding. The facial resemblance is not good at all and is not what is shown on advertising. If I can't recognise myself at all then its not designed at all with the level what you would expect. The subscription isnt even worth it at all for the price and honestly the whole app was probably made by a guy sitting on a chair using chat gpt.

It's annoying. was impressed to see on advertisement. but when downloaded it features seem free but to get any end result you need subscription and payments. it's to lure in to download app. at least 1 or 2 free options should be available. after purchase, app didnt generate either.

I was really hopeful about using Aura AI, but unfortunately, the experience has been disappointing. The image generation results are often far from accurate, even when I provide clear instructions. What’s most frustrating is that they still charge tokens for these unusable results. I strongly believe the model should allow users to only pay for the images they actually choose to use — not for every inaccurate attempt. At this stage, it feels more like a gamble than a reliable tool.

it said 6 credits for a set but forces you to pay for credits you already have. you can do literally this for free on other platforms. it's really expensive and false advertises that you can spend credits.. but then you need to buy more and it won't let you create an account until you buy a service you cant even try with the credits you supposedly already have. buggy ui, it is not optimized properly and lower part cuts off. sus and hastily designed. not a good experience.

DO NOT subscribe to this. paid 30 quid for the year stupidly thinking you would get access, this only gives you 66 app currency and costs the currency to "buy photo sets" requested a refund instantly absolute rip off. the cartoon images are included .......you can do that on any free AI generation app. 0 stars from me

I'm giving this two stars. The image generation is EXCELLENT. But the app has the major, glaring (and even somewhat suspicious?) Problem of IMMEDIATELY freezing and/or crashing if I press "delete all" on ANY of the generated image folders. If this is not fixed, I will be forced to uninstall.

just so you know, this is a free app to download, but you do have to pay a weekly subscription of 8.99 to use any of the filter and no free trail to see if you even like it. but I get it, AI is still new, and the system still needs proper funding to process... but a free 2 day trail would have been great 👍

NO trial version. You are required to pay instantly for something that you are not sure about. Some of the competitors AIs have trial version so this app instantly loses. Why not show your potential customers what the app can do? Or there is no budget for it ? Or there is no confidence about the application ?

Completely deceptive and fraudulent. They literally tell you you can try for you and then when you take pictures they want you to subscribe for $9 a month. There's no way for you to try this to see if it even works in the first place, but they won't tell you that. They just want you to download and get pictures of you and then they probably just steal the information. Avoid it all costs.

doesn't let you use any under "discover" (I paid a subscription, then got charged 2more times, then it had me buy coins and I still can't access), doesn't let you upload different photos without you paying full price again, limits your use even if you pay for service. No options for preteens.

it would be hands down 5 plus. but no trial period or 15 to 30 free generated images a week and no bare minimum usage of the intelligent amazing tools that the paid version has to offer. it's like going out and buying a amazing game for PlayStation you been waiting so long for you rush home and open it. but just thin you remember. " you don't own a PlayStation console" well S*** that's exactly how I feel right now lol. welp I guess go back to watching reviews on YouTube about this masterpiece.

I subscribed for $8.5 per week, thinking it would give me access to create and download images. But after uploading 8 photos, the app demanded another $8.5 for each set of images I wanted to generate! This is misleading, greedy, and feels like a scam. They don’t make it clear that you’ll be charged again even after subscribing. I do not recommend this app. Stay away unless you want to keep paying endlessly.

I would give 2.5 stars for face detection. I would give 2 stars for clarity of pack you're getting. However, in the chance that the app gets it right, the result is good enough (4 stars), although no chance to protest the result or in case you don't like the result you don't get to re-use the spent money. Don't dive in with both feet for this app. Use it wisely and expect a bit of unsatisfactory result.

Scammy business model. No trial and requires subscription so you don't know what you are signing. £8.99 a week isn't huge and it turns out you get access to some coins that you can purchase packs with (about 10 packs). But you can only use packs if you have your own AI avatar created and that costs another £5.99 and you have no choice but to pay it to make sense of money spent already. Wild west of scams.
