1. [R4] Facetune 1/5 · US Disappointed customer: Can not believe all the tools have become locked without paying for VIP access. After using is for 7 years I will now be using something else.
2. [R28] Facetune 2/5 · US I pay a yearly subscription, but still have to pay for all features?: Although I have been a LONG TIME user of Facetune, and have been paying the yearly subscription since 2019, I am now finding dissatisfaction in the app. Why do I have to pay more money to use features that I should already have access to like the AI portrait modes? It makes absolutely no sense, and I am very disappointed in Face
3. [R67] Lensa AI 1/5 · US Don’t fix what isn’t broken!: This was a great app until the update! Now it just makes you look like a clown. Unsubscribing unfortunately.
4. [R90] Lensa AI 3/5 · US What happened: I’ve been using Pro version of this app for 2 years and it’s been wonderful. Love the filter settings and the ability to customize color grading and removing objects to clean up images. However I opened the app today and things looked different. The filters and presets options disappeared and there’s a lot of options I paid for that I no longer have. Not sure what happened. I delete
5. [R15] Facetune 3/5 · US Really good but: It Makes my vids so so glitchy and they keep freezing after I applied like filters. So idk why. Even when I save the vid it still the same..
6. [R18] Facetune 3/5 · US A bug that needs to be fixed: The app will glitch out during the warping feature. It does it every five minutes or so and will not save progress, it really sucks please fix it.
7. [R78] Lensa AI 3/5 · US Changed not for the better.: The latest update removed or changed one of my favorite features. I’ve been a paid user for years but that may ending. It’s losing its “ease of use” and becoming overrun with unwanted AI options. :(
8. [R116] Lensa AI 5/5 · US Easy to use: As a professional, it’s easy to use for my small business!
9. [R6] Facetune 3/5 · US App changes ruined the app: Used to love this app but can no longer switch faces to edit when there are multiple faces in a photo which makes it worthless.
10. [R21] Facetune 3/5 · US This sucks.: I loved FaceTime. Natural editing that you can add to your liking. They JUST did an update and ruined the entire app. Idk if they’re using some kind of AI or what but now it alters your face completely. I’m so upset. A true shame.
11. [R96] Lensa AI 3/5 · US Glitches: When it works, images turn out great. However, getting it to process is the problem. When uploading photos, creating more templates… app glitches and says subscription purchased and goes back to upload or main page.
12. [R100] Lensa AI 2/5 · US Very Unhappy with the Update: You never should have removed the manual makeup tools and other editing tools to opt for the “magic AI.” Bad move for an app we pay too much money for.
13. [R12] Facetune 3/5 · US Price??: been using facetune since 2019, i dont understand why it went from $10 a month to $12 a week. i use it when i need to but im disappointed
14. [R39] Facetune 3/5 · GB Too expensive now: Used to love this app. But oh my goodness, who has £10 a month spare for a subscription nowadays. If it was slightly less, it would be totally worth it as it has great features
15. [R75] Lensa AI 3/5 · US Big “Lensa AI” Watermark: The app works great, but each magic avatar photo has a big “Lensa AI” watermark on the bottom of the photo. There currently isn’t an option to toggle off the watermark, even with a pro premium paid subscription. Sure you can edit the photo, but what a pain.
16. [R109] Lensa AI 1/5 · US Unethical Practices: I think most people are downloading this app for what the app refers to as “Magic Hour” filters: basically, they simulate different lighting conditions. What they don’t say is that to use these filters, you need Magic Tokens. Do they come with a paid subscription? Who knows. They don’t make that part clear at all, and they hope you just pay the subscription without questioning
17. [R16] Facetune 1/5 · US Careful warning!!!!!: They will trick you into a full year subscription and not give you your money back . I clicked on one of their click baits for a trial. I thought I clicked on a monthly subscription after the trial was over. I must have not and clicked on a full year at over $80. I normally watch this and make sure it’s on a month after trial. I tried to cancel right away and reached out de
18. [R40] Facetune 1/5 · US Charged me when I deleted the app: I signed up for the free trial. Deleted the app before it was up and they still charged me $80 for the whole year. They said I missed the window to dispute the charge. Not great to work with at all
19. [R114] Lensa AI 3/5 · GB Word of warning: The app itself is fine, but I was really interested in the AI avatars. Yes, these can be done in many apps now (and even yourself at home) but tried them here. My first 2 runs were really good at £6 per batch. My 3rd run was awful - out of 50 pictures hardly any had changed or poor quality. I thought emailing support would get a refund or the ability to do another run. Apparently
20. [R112] Lensa AI 1/5 · US Free Trial is a Scam: Signed up for the free trip and canceled the same day. Still was charged $70 for the year. Free trial is just a scam to take your money.
