1. [R3] Canva 3/5 · US Good Collage tool, Needs Dark Mode: This is honestly a really great tool for assembling images text videos. Amazing for individual or collaborative work, can really help get a project started. I would use it way more if there was a way to make the white background an off-white, or gray color. As the bright light can be a bit much at night.
2. [R11] Canva 5/5 · US The amazing wonders of Campa: Amazing. Customer service has hundreds of templates video editing your name. Have a good luck exploring on camera.
3. [R29] Canva 5/5 · US A Crafter dream: Love this app. It is easy to use and have training courses to help out. All though I do pay for the extra features. The free version is just as good.
4. [R64] Grok AI 1/5 · US They got greedier and stricter: This used to be the best image and video generator ever. The ui is the most user friendly thing. The censorship and the limitations got worse. I would’ve kept subscribing if they left the moderation alone. I understand having to censor real people but why censor cartoons? What a shame.
5. [R4] Canva 1/5 · US Not intuitive! Very hard for beginners: Canva is very hard to use if you are not an expert! It’s not intuitive. It’s very difficult to navigate. I would not recommend unless you take their courses to understand how to be an expert at using the app.
6. [R36] Canva 3/5 · US Meh: This app is NOT intuitive or user friendly. I'm highly experienced in Adobe Creative Suite, which takes courses and time to learn, and this app has taken MUCH longer for me to get the hang of with less functionality.
7. [R70] Grok AI 1/5 · US Frustrating all around: This app really frustrates me because chats often crash. It doesn’t remember things. It doesn’t know its own rules, it will 100% confidently tell you that it can’t do something that it can do such as create documents in Drive and other things as well. additionally not compatible enough with X it’s ridiculous paying $100 a month for Grok and not getting Grok on X needing to
8. [R90] Grok AI 3/5 · US App Bug: I have been a major advocate for Grok. I’ve appreciated the tone and merit in responses. I have however had a sign-in issue that has not been fixed for months that prevents me from logging in to any new sessions outside of the existing session on my iPhone. It’s really inconvenient - especially when paying $30 a month. Getting support feels impossible on the matter. My preference is not t
9. [R51] Canva 3/5 · GB Ok when it works and stops glitching and disappearing: Your reliability must improve, especially for paying subscribers like me. What on earth happened this past week? White screens and no functionality.
10. [R55] Canva 2/5 · US It just stopped working: I was using the app but it just stop working and has been saying it’s been having technical difficulties for a few weeks now
11. [R106] Grok AI 1/5 · US What was once great has fallen hard: This use to be one of the best AI’s to date but the new moderation constraints and unbalanced limits have severely decreased this apps value. Your weekly limits get drained within minutes and Groks inability to retain conversations certain guidelines when you refresh or have a longer dialogue is extremely frustrating. Once again seems like greed is the killer o
12. [R10] Canva 1/5 · US GREEDY THIEVES!: claimed a FREE 14 day trial, got charged full price immediately. at the end of the TRIAL, i was charged full price AGAIN. they refuse to refund because my subscription is through apple and not canva directly. I’ve been supporting this app for YEARS when it was $7/month back in 2020 and the downhill this app has taken is despicable honestly. i will NEVER support this app ever again
13. [R28] Canva 1/5 · US Insane Subscription Hikes: Going from $12.99 to $15.99 was bad enough, now it is up to $18.99 for the same service I once had for $12.99. I gave up. When are these companies going to learn raising subscriptions isn’t the answer. Eventually the working class is going to break and limit which subscriptions they are willing to pay for.
14. [R79] Grok AI 1/5 · US Terrible: This app is genuinely terrible. The plans are way too expensive. And the free sucks as it can only use fast, and that gets facts wrong and pretty much just agrees with whatever you were saying, also, my last review got taken down. What the heck grok. They review bomb themselves with positive reviews, so don’t be fooled
15. [R97] Grok AI 1/5 · US This is now a scam. DO NOT USE!: As of July 2026 they have switched from a daily quota limit for paid subscriptions over to a weekly quota and it is EXTREMELY restricted to the point that I used my entire quota for this week in a single one and half hour session. When you’ve met you limit you can pay for more “credits” but they are expensive as hell and it does not tell you how much more time/usag
16. [R52] Canva 1/5 · US Misleading Retention Offer: I decided to cancel my subscription, but before canceling I was offered approximately $3 if I avoid canceling the plan, I accepted the offer but when my subscription renewed, I was charged the full monthly price instead. I cancelled my subscription immediately after noticing the charge. This was very disappointing and felt misleading. I hope the company reviews this iss
17. [R67] Grok AI 1/5 · US Lack of automation with companions: There is a complete lack of the ability to automate tasks with the companions. This seems like such a missed opportunity. I’m not sure what the value of the paid subscription service over the free service is. The “access” to tech support is nonexistent either way it seems.
