Playground: AI Design & Editor

What this recent change is I don’t know, but I want my money back for my one year of subscription to the pro version. You cannot create anything like you used to be able to all you get to do now is look at generic templates of premade things that allows you to modify what’s already been done there’s no creativity to this app anymore. I paid for an app that allows you to create beautiful work now that is gone. I want my money back this is a useless app unless you’re just looking to copy other peoples work.

I don’t need nor do I want a feature that lets me modify already crappy generic designs to use for logos, etc. I used Playground exclusively to brainstorm and edit generated and refined art. Stuff I can hardly recreate elsewhere for some reason with quite the same results. The canvas feature was amazing, and it’s gone. SDXL runs ultra fast on your platform, and now the closing Discord says that’s going away by the end of the year. While the V3 model is cool, it is not enough to draw people to the app or website. Playground was really superior just months ago compared to other sites like it that made quality AI art generation and editing approachable and streamlined for people. It seems like you’ve lost devs or ownership is changing hands.. things happen, and change is inevitable, but what are you hoping to achieve? Do you really think people just want a sticker or T-shirt editor? If you are going to compete with the giant that is Canva, you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you. I already have Canva and don’t really need it. But Playground is not an alternative for it. Nor do I want it to be. The speed at which those SDXL images came through was amazing. Not to mention the refiner and the samplers available. Take that away, and you will lose a TON of people. I know I sound harsh, but this is really disappointing. I didn’t want to have to go to a different app or site.

First, I just recently discovered that there was an iOS app, though I’ve been using the website for more than a year and a half. The second time I launched the app though, it had been updated. Where are my notifications? I get notified all the time of likes, but they have completely disappeared from the app, so there is no need to even click on a notification anymore. Second, and I didn’t even get a chance to look in the app before it changed, where are my images? I’ve created over 60,000 on the site but I can’t see any of them in the app? Also, where are everyone else’s images? At least 50% of the fun of using Playground is looking at what everyone else is creating, for inspiration, for learning how to make prompts, or even just seeing cool pictures. If I just picked up the app and had never seen the website, I’d spend about 10 minutes playing around and then delete it and forget Playground even existed. Do better.
