Lensa AI: Photo Editor

UPDATE: Developers got ahold of me saying to email my ideas. But I have done that, and have heard nothing back. By the way, the app store says this app has not been updated for 2 YEARS! So the response I got seems like you want my money, but have no interest in improving this product. I am aware that you say the mac version is not optimized as much and you say to use the phone app. Well I paid for the MAC app, it's on the mac store. And the phone app would do me no good. Seems insane to offer a product but then tell us it's not a good product to use, and to download the phone app. What the heck? ORIGINAL REVIEW: So I have a LOT of great ideas that could make the mac version more handy. Don't get me wrong, what this app does is really amazing. But it is a bit clunky, missing some basic features. For example, folders to store projects in. Also cropping, integration with apple photos ad lightroom (woudl love this), and that is just to name a few of the top of my head. I was also concerend that it shows you have not updated the app in 2 years, yet I just paid for a year sucbscription. Is this an abandoned project? Please say it isn't. You have a real gem in the rough here. Please let me know where I can email someone to discuss ideas that would take this software into 2024 :-)

So I find the photos for the magic AI beautiful. I’ve already spent more money than I’d like to admit just doing it for myself, my friends and family because of how much I love how the photos turn out, but I just went to check on my newest set I’ve purchased and the screen just shows a loading circle with after 5 minutes, nothing loaded. I saw my app needed to be updated so I figured that it would be just that but I was wrong. It’s still showing the loading circle. I’ve spent money each time for each photo set, and not only can I not access the current one the app was working on, but I can’t even access the other 5 I’ve paid for? I feel it’s valid to be upset considering this app charges $8 per 200 photos each time you want to upload even when you have the free trial enabled which is like $38 a year. It’s very pricy, and the problem is I wouldn’t even mind paying that amount if I could get unlimited uploads for no additional charge but the fact that you have to pay each time and as of right now, I can’t even access any of the photos I’ve paid for? You guys gotta figure something out because I kinda feel like I’m getting robbed here. I work hard for my money and I don’t really appreciate having it wasted on something I can’t even access.

The thing I do really like is how you are able to adjust features/settings just specifically on the face, or foreground, or background, without applying the effect to all. This is something that you could do in other apps, but it wouldn’t be as quick and convenient because you would typically have to first do the shadows and highlights and then overlay them onto the original picture. However, a big problem I have is that it doesn’t let you adjust from what it automatically finds to be the face, foreground or background, so you aren’t able to perfect where the new background or effects will go. You can get around this by going into another app like Photoshop and overlaying edits, but that gets rid of, to an extent, convenience of this app. But then again, the things that you can’t even fix is that it often times won’t recognize a face so then you can’t do any of the face options and it won’t let you select your face manually either. Also, the filters are very generic. So again to sum it up, I like the face, foreground and background option but the options in general are very limited, don’t always work, and nothing too unique. Update: I change my rating from a 2 to a three because I see that it is primarily for selfies and so I used it on a selfie and it worked better like it was the first time that I was able to make it detect a face, but it still didn’t detect it perfectly so I really wish there was the option to adjust what it automatically detects.
