Drostudio: AI Photo Editor

I paid 50 bucks for this app and immediately tried to get a refund because it just never worked and always crashed. Apple declined me twice after the last updated has gotten better. I will give it that but the crashes are crazy. It’s about a 25% chance it doesn’t crash when rendering

I wouldn’t pay 50 CENTS a year for this app - even if it worked! - Uses very little of your drawing to guide the image. It creates an image from your prompt and makes minor changes to it based on your drawing. -Completely ignored many things in my drawing and prompt - The “3-day free trial” lasted all of 15 minutes since you’re limited to about 150 “generations”. Since every change to the drawing counts as a generation. -The prompt and drawing of “a house on a hill” started returning NSFW image warnings. Not from anything in my prompt or drawing, but from whatever image their model was generating. All of these “NSFW” images counted as generations.

For someone like me, who is not a trained artist, it is cool to see your messy doodles become the image you see with your mind’s eye. That said, I definitely do not see any value in this for professional artists or AI enthusiasts at all. Yes, it does run locally on your iPad and I guess there are certain situations where it would be nice to have. Kids would love it. It might help you unwind after a long day. It would me something to entertain you while waiting in the doctor’s office etc. What irks me is that it loves to monitor what you are drawing or what it “thinks” you are attempting to draw. Excessively so, IMO. I am constantly getting error messages telling me what I am drawing is NSFW— not safe for work. A. I am not at work. I am in the privacy of my own home. B. There does not seem to be any way to change settings. C. I’m not trying to doodle pornography. Even if I was, why is it this apps business? Bottom line, don’t expect too much. It’s a time filler and nothing more. Just remember, Big Brother is watching.
