5βI've been trying out different AI apps so that I had an idea of what to expect when using AI apps, and I had very few negative things to say about this one. It has a good variety of fun portraits you can morph yourself into, and the results are fairly accurate, even in the generated videos. All in all, I'd definitely recommend the free trial before buying a subscription, but I fully endorse purchasing a membership if you wanna do lavish face swap stuff. It's pretty fun.

5βIt was effective for my purposes (clarifying blurry photos). It also has a few other useful features to offer, always a plus! Although I'm pretty happy with what the free version of the app has to offer, I find the length & amount of ads extremely annoying. I know they're necessary to help fund the app, it just gets offputting to have to watch so many long ads in order to be able to enhance one photo. I would use this app so much more if the ads were shorter in length or fewer in number.

1βI wanted to try it out, using the with ads version, just to see if it was worth paying for the full version for a month to use for work. It'll show you an ad, then "mysteriously" freeze every time the second one plays, forcing you to back out... which doesn't count as ads watched so you can't use the free version of the software. So mysterious that it happens every time, on every phone I've tried it on. Weird.

1βMaybe a scam? To use the app, a pop up to choose a subscription came up with no choice to proceed without choosing one. I really needed the product so I chose the 1 month for 4.99. When I tried using it, the results were horrible, no improvement in the images at all. Tried to cancel subscription and cannot find the place to do so. The app directs you to do it in Google play, but I cannot find that option. Seems the only option may be to dispute with my credit card.

2βThis app has way too many ads which forces you to go premium. It will let you upload a photo, but you have to watch an ad (or two) for the edit, and then to save the edited photo you have to do an ad again. I'm giving it 2 stars because the 2 options it does have on the free option seems to work slightly but I expected more from an "AI" app. I am not going to use an app that basically forces you to pay for premium. Uninstalling.
