Latest update · v10.5.6

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Bug fix

Recurring themes

Pricing & Subscriptions negative
A significant number of reviews express frustration over misleading 'free' claims, unexpected charges for subscriptions (e.g., $40 for a year, $7.37 weekly, $34.97 for a subscription), and additional costs for 'coins' or credits to use features like image generation, even for paid subscribers. Many feel it's a 'scam' or 'bait and switch'.R4R6R9R11
Image Generation Quality negative
Users are highly dissatisfied with the image generation feature, reporting that it produces irrelevant, incorrect, or low-quality images, often with misspellings or foreign languages. It frequently fails to modify uploaded images as requested and consumes credits without providing satisfactory results.R1R9R13R21
AI Performance & Capabilities negative
Many reviewers find the AI's responses to be shallow, confusing, grammatically incorrect, or no better than a basic search engine. It struggles with complex tasks, lacks memory in conversations, and doesn't offer advanced features or model choices that users expect from a paid AI assistant.R14R19R25R41
Technical Issues negative
Users report various technical problems, including slow response times, speech recognition cutting off, inability to change account emails, issues with sharing content, and difficulties uploading multiple images. Some also mention the app frequently reporting 'high traffic' or not loading.R5R8R12R17

Who it's for

This app might be for users looking for a very basic AI chatbot for quick, simple questions, who are comfortable with potential in-app purchases for advanced features R2R23R29R42. It is NOT for users who expect advanced AI capabilities, reliable image generation, transparent pricing, or a truly free experience R1R9R19R25.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, contradicting the high lifetime rating. Many negative points, particularly regarding pricing and image generation, are supported by a large number of recent reviews across different regions. The developer's release notes mention "Bug fix," but many recent reviews still report various bugs and performance issues, suggesting the update did not address all user concerns.

  2. [R23] 5/5 · US Greta app: Great app
  3. [R29] 5/5 · US Review: I like it’s simplicity
  4. [R42] 5/5 · US Instant gratification: I like the idea of getting answers quickly without commercials
  5. [R41] 4/5 · US A good general AI.: Genie generally writes very good, but occasionally makes mistakes and is not as reliable as other artificial intelligence models so I needed to switch to another model for certain things. But I still use Genie for general questions.
  6. [R69] 5/5 · US privacy alone deserves 5 stars: least invasive
  7. [R70] 5/5 · US Great app: Great app
  8. [R77] 5/5 · US Good: Genie is very good I love it
  9. [R4] 1/5 · US Chat: It's paid and somehow in dollars, even though my location is Russia. · translated
  10. [R6] 1/5 · US Horrible: Everything there requires a subscription. · translated
  11. [R7] 1/5 · US 👎: Hic memnun kalmadim iademi istiyorum
  12. [R9] 1/5 · US Scam there is. Nothing free: I got this out because it was supposed to be fairly free. Anytime you wanna do any video imaging or photo imaging it cost you coins, which you are absolutely ridiculous to do that stuff. On top of that I asked for George Washington with an item in his hand, and I got an Asian lady that I asked for Edits and I got the Asian with a wig then finally on the third attempt a
  13. [R1] 1/5 · US Want Refund: I spent $40 so I could upload a picture for this app to remodel a room. All it did was show me some remodeling ideas that I could easily find searching on Google. It did not show me my room that I remodeled, and it charged me 100 coins. And then what I told her it wasn’t what I needed that I needed to show my room. It showed me the same picture again and charge me another hundred coi
  14. [R13] 1/5 · US Horrible: Don’t use. It can’t even remove a white background outside my design the only thing i asked was to remove the outer boarder around my design. I have thumbs down. I have the command i cannot have a outer boarder. Out generates the same image again. With same outer boarder. Charged me 100 credits both times for doing nothing. Eater of time and money
  15. [R21] 2/5 · US Awful creative: I’ve paid for this for years, but won’t continue. They’ve throttled the capability and the “creative” image production is terrible. It’s intentionally terrible to upsell you. Time to switch.
  16. [R14] 1/5 · US Not so bright for Ai: Don’t subscribe to this app it doesn’t work right they must not know what they’re doing or they can’t make apps. This thing spends more time thinking than anything else.
  17. [R19] 1/5 · US Don’t make the same mistake I did, don’t subscribe to this app. In my experience, not worth: The answers are confusing and not worth the subscription. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a refund because they won’t refund your money if you simply decide you don’t want the service anymore. Don’t make the same mistake I did, don’t subscribe to this app. In my experience, the regular free version of ChatGP
  18. [R25] 1/5 · US Just a search engine not an ai assistant.: Product is basically useless for anything below basic DnD knowledge and they know it, save your money and just go directly to the real ai and not this! It won’t help with anything requiring details or saved memories as once you submit, it has no additional memory even the “pro” version.
  19. [R5] 1/5 · US Change email: I need to change my email so it can connect to settings through my google account which is pro, instead of my Apple account random email.
  20. [R8] 3/5 · US Damn dudes disabled: Yeah, I love alliteration, but I'm slightly cramped in my abilities and would appreciate it if you had a dedicated AI mic to enhance the experience.
  21. [R12] 3/5 · US speech recognition: it cuts you off when you’re asking a question audibly every single time it would be nice to have a setting to change the timeout for that
  22. [R17] 4/5 · US Not good: It was okay at first, but then it got worse and worse. My questions just kept being met with silence! · translated
  23. [R11] 1/5 · US I thought it said it’s free: I downloaded because so many reviews and Google said it was free but then it tried to charge me.. how misleading
  24. [R30] 1/5 · US Misleading “Free Trial”: Started the free trial and got charged $43.54 almost immediately for a yearly subscription. The app makes it seem like you’re just activating a trial, but it quickly converts into an expensive annual plan. I canceled and requested a refund from Apple the same day. Be very careful before tapping through the subscription screens.
  25. [R28] 3/5 · US Crating pictures: When it comes to having words put in the picture the spelling always be incorrect. Kinda sad for it to be AI generated and still can’t get it right
  26. [R37] 1/5 · US False Ad 3 day trial: This app claims to offer a free 3 day trial, has bottom page text that reads no payment, but requires you to select if you’ll proceed with weekly or annual subscription. I selected the annual. Within minutes, I knew this AI app wouldn’t generate the service I was requesting. That’s when I learned the app automatically charged the full amount, there is no free 3 day trial, and
