PhotoApp - AI Photo Enhancer

I found out about this app by searching for a photo enhancer on google, upon download this app for the first time i’m prompted with what seems to be a paywall to use the app. It would not let me do anything unless you had a subscription. They advertise this 3 day free trial but when you go to use your iPhone will tell you you’re about to pay 4.99 a week starting now for this subscription. It mentions no 3-day free trial which it will always tell you if you’re about to sign up for a free trial & then when it will start to charge you. I purchased the subscription so I could give the app a try, this is when it told me that it would need permissions to access my camera roll. When you click allow it will open your settings & the permissions for the app, but there is no permission available for your camera roll. Upon further research there was a way of allowing camera roll access to the app through your privacy & security settings, but again the app was not available to be given camera roll permissions. This being said the app isn’t even set up properly too allow the permissions for your camera roll therefore making it entirely useless, this is a scam. The reviews are more than likely bots, the app just can’t be used even after giving them money. Not to mention, the restore purchases button does nothing. It’s programmed too load for a second & then prompt you with a text screen saying it successfully restored your purchase. Do not download, complete waste of your time & money.

I used this app to fix a blurry photo & it literally made it look PERFECT! The photo was really important to me & I was so upset that it was blurry, because it was the only one I had of my son and his Poppop. I figured I would just search “fix blurry photo” in the App Store search bar & see what popped up, but I didn’t have very high expectations. This one was the first one I downloaded, followed by 2 other apps, but I deleted those ones after trying this app and seeing how perfect the photo turned out! I was so shocked and really impressed because usually these kinds of apps won’t allow you to access certain features without paying for the premium subscription to it, but this one gives you access to just about every feature you need when fixing photos without having to pay for the subscription! If I had to complain about one thing, it would be the ads that come with using it for free… but they don’t really bother me, especially because the final result is so great! I definitely recommend using this app if you are trying to fix your old or blurry photos!

Update 3: the 2.3.0 update removed the AI model process and turned it into a simple face replacement tool liked to 12 templates. It’s a far cry from the original. Go use Remini. Update 2: the trick below no longer works. I’ve not had a successful process at all today, with over 6 hours of reinstalling, failing, and trying again. I’m glad the devs stand by their trash product, but that doesn’t mean it’s not trash. Update 1: This is an update to a previous one-star review that I wrote. Do not believe these developers. They have commented on the majority of negative reviews claiming to care about feedback and asking for follow up to “make things right.” They don’t care, and they won’t respond if you reach out. Here’s the trick to getting the AI features to “work,” but it works about half the time. Hope you have some time to waste. Install the app. Attempt to upload a base. If it doesn’t error out with the generic “cannot be completed” message, wait approximately 30 minutes for the process. The app will either complete the generation, say process failed, or hang on 1 minute until you get the “no worries” hold message. Eventually it will fail out, even if it accepts your model. You will consistently get “too busy” messages. The trick beyond that is to reinstall the app and start the process again. But again: it’s 30 minutes or more, then complete, fail, or hang. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And the quality isn’t great. 0/5 use better apps.
