Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] Reface Useless: Every picture or video is rejected because of possible inappropriate material. This means that every video has to be contested and approved one week later. Who needs this? Find something better
- [R6] Reface Great app but restrictive: Great app… facial images remain blurry/distorted, so some points off there, but a great app…unless you run into one of the “restrictive guardrails” that thinks a picture of a nun for example is nudity or sexual in nature.
- [R30] Reface Useless: This once great and fun app is getting worse with features no longer being functional as we are pushed more towards AI and paid features even as Pro members! Problems appear to be the users fault never to do with updates! When features are removed, refunds need to be made!
- [R72] YouCam Perfect:AI Photo Editor They eliminated the free part.: I updated the app and what used to be free they've made paid if you want it. Deleting the app now, after so many years of using it. Maybe one day I'll use it again.
- [R21] Reface Filter: Fun app. It does have an issue flagging content as inappropriate when it is completely appropriate.
- [R81] YouCam Perfect:AI Photo Editor App: The features are great, but the app hangs or crashes and is slow when selecting/loading photos
- [R114] YouCam Perfect:AI Photo Editor Slow to load: Slow to open / load but good, fun app when you finally get everything in place
- [R7] Reface The worst company I ever seen.: Fixes your pictures, but the keep taking the monthly fee from your account. They took 4 monthly fees from my account before the month ended. They charged for a video. This app sucks you dry. I advise everyone to pass it by. It is not worth it. I haven’t 1star but that is too many. They steal your money by charging you 4 or more monthly fees in less than a month.
- [R10] Reface Never authorized charges: $85 in unauthorized charges. Stop payment required from bank.
- [R37] Reface Stealing my money customer service shady!: This app is fraudulent, and impossible to get help from customer service. I paid $6.99, I was unable to log on. Then weekly $19.99 deductions from my credit card. I have tried everything to contact a real person for help. No luck! Please do not fall for the false advertising!
- [R70] YouCam Perfect:AI Photo Editor Customer service???: Well, I can’t find a simple way to email customer support for this app to find out why I can’t restore my purchase after paying for the pro version last January. I just got kicked out of it and I can’t make it work and you guys have made it almost impossible to contact so, here’s your one star review that I’ll be happy to remove once you’ve contacted me so to rectify my purcha
- [R3] Reface Cute: Expensive
- [R15] Reface Pricey: I was charged 7.99 for one day. Would only let me check out a few hairstyles. Not worth it.
- [R49] Reface It’s really $19.99 PER WEEk: I paid $7.99 up front and I don’t remember where in the fine print that they would be charging me $19.99 PER WEEK. Read the fine print people!!! 2 weeks of having the app I’ve already been charged $48. Outrageous for what it does. I cancelled the subscription after it kept billing me weekly. Hoping they dont sneak in one last charge for not canceling X amt of hours/
- [R43] Reface Purchased lifetime membership,never allowed to access or use, charged 3 times for it, refund refused: App did not recognize my email, so app did not allow access for use. Inquired via customer service for help. I will share that customer service is quite quick to respond, however they have limited to no power to help solve the problem. I was charged for 3 “lifetime” memberships of $49.99, three mo
- [R59] Reface Good Results But TERRIBLE business practices: I have paid twice for the lifetime subscription and gotten permanently locked out of my account… the first time I chalked it up to my iPad breaking and not working on a new device maybe but now they won’t let me in at all , asked me to agree to a ridiculous new terms and privacy statement and when I try to reset my password they don’t send the reset li
- [R42] Reface Not for me …. But ….: UPDATE: Previously I’d left a scathing review of this app BUT, to give them credit, they responded immediately (Sunday late pm in UK) to my email. Not only did they respond super quickly and address the issues but resolved the concerns there and then. This app is not for me but it clearly works for thousands of others.
