1. 1/5Complete garbage, don’t download

   I read in the news that this app was all the rage, so decided to give it a shot, and boy did I feel like a fool. This app is really nothing special and definitely not worth ANY money. Someone managed to very successfully “hack the system” to get this app so much attention when it really has zero to offer. First of all, before you can try or even see anything in the app, you have to sign up for a $20 monthly subscription (comes with a 3 day trial-period). You can cancel the subscription through your AppStore settings before the trial is over, but I imagine many will forget and get charged involuntarily. Apple’s new way of charging iPhone users is going to become very popular among the app developers, sadly! When I finally got access to the app functions, I can only say it was deeply disappointing. Filters and functions are not anything special at all, some of them are even really bad, you can get the same or better for free or a flat fee elsewhere. Secondly, the so-called face-comparison that’s supposed to tell you which celebrity you look like is complete and utter garbage, most people will get the same familiar results. Who else here looks like Angela Merkel raise a hand? The app just throws you random celebs and you’re supposed to think that’s funny? Please! Do yourself a favor and just stay clear of this app.

2. 1/5Wow ok

   Yeah this app is super sketch. The whole subscription thing didn’t really bother me mainly because I was only going to check out the ethnicity estimate and delete it after messing around for a bit, but the more I read the reviews while it was downloading, the more creeped out I got. Not going to go into detail here, just read a few of the other one star reviews, but I can tell you that I did check it out in settings and it’s really weird. Speaking of reviews, Jesus Christ are there a lot of fake ones. It’s pretty easy to tell that the five star reviews are fake, if you actually read them (which I know most people don’t because they’re looking for bad ones), and they all have really generic titles. One last thing. The devs did respond to one of the reviews talking about the sketchy stuff, (not the review that started it though hmmm) and the response also came off a bit weird to me. I don’t know if it just seemed not really genuine or a bit automated, but is didn’t really prove anything. Honestly, go ahead and download this app if you want, just read some more reviews because they go way more into detail then me.

3. 1/5This app is a joke, right?

   It was a funny waste of time. You have to pay for a subscription that’s TWENTY DOLLARS MONTHLY to do anything, BUT there is a 3 day free trial. I immediately cancelled after laughing at the app for like 10 minutes. The celebrity look alike feature doesn’t work at all. I got Willow Smith and Vanessa Hudgens as look alikes, and if those two looking nothing alike wasn’t enough for you, I’m a ginger. The classical portrait feature just poorly pastes your face on an old portrait painting, doesn’t even color match or anything, just kinda slaps it on there. The ancestry thing just spit out random white nationalities when I used it with my face, so I used a picture of one of my black friends and it said she was a male of Emirati, Jewish, American, and North Korean dissent. Tried it on another one of my black friends and it said she was Egyptian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Caribbean. Only one African nation came up, so I’m guessing this “AI” isn’t too familiar with people of color. All the editing features are mediocre and you could get way better tools with a free app like PicsArt.

4. 1/5They tried to scam me out of $125. Don’t even consider downloading.

   I opened the app, and skipped past the first screen asking me to sign up for the free trial. I didn’t see the ethnicity checker, so I thought I might have to buy “premium” to get that. So, I signed up for the yearly premium subscription ($125) that ALSO had a 3 day trial on it. What happens next? I instantly get an email from PayPal saying I’ve been charged $125. I quickly called my bank, Discover, and got them to put a stop payment on my account for that amount, so I won’t be charged. I should have had my Paypal hooked up to a credit card to be even safer, but this works too I suppose. What an absolute scam. A trial didn’t even start for me. I clicked “3 day trial, $125” and instantly got charged the $125. That’s seriously disgusting. When I sign up for a trial, I expect a trial period where I can cancel my subscription. I don’t expect to have to be charged for it. What a joke.

5. 1/5Misleading, scam

   Okay I tried it out. The photos they provided here in the appstore about this application’s interface is such a big lie! I was so amazed and excited to try the Elf style AI but it wasn’t even that good as shown in the pic, it was far away from that! They can’t even place the ears properly and there are no Elven tiaras or clothes. They just basically turn your face into cartoonish-dollish thing. I tried it and it weirdly didn’t even look like me anymore. They drastically slim my already slim and small face and enlarge my already large face, making me almost look like an alien doll. I tried out the premium stuff, seeing if they’ll ever provide what’s shown in the pics here but nah, it’s still the same stupid lies. The pics you will get from the AI will always be in 1:1 ratio and they will never be as good as the pictures provided here. I suggest you people never ever spend your money in this app.
