Remini - AI Photo Enhancer 4+

As good as it gets

Having tried every “photo enhancement” app in the store, I can vouch for the fact that this is the best available one. I found myself repeatedly using it, so eventually paid for the lite version.

Just to be clear, an AI enhancement app can’t do everything. It won’t turn your vintage blurry photos into masterpieces, largely because it does its best to reconstruct from vague shapes (eyes, for example), the finished product can be a little hit-and-miss. However, the app does quickly de-noise photos (makes them less grainy). I’ve tried it on newer, higher quality photos in which the subject had too much shadow on their face and it brightened them very well. All in all, I’m pleased and will continue to see what it can do. Just keep in mind that the clearer the features on the person’s face are already, the better the app can do. With ancient photos taken from far away, it may be “replacing” the eyes with similar, clear eyes, making the subject not really look like themselves. It can also leave the rest of their body (arms, for example) grainy because it’s concentrating on the face.

Just don’t expect miracles on old, old stuff—we haven’t gotten there yet. But for today’s tech, this is pretty good and lots of fun to play with. If you are looking to quickly smooth skin and brighten more modern photos, you’ll be pleased.

Great enhancer for photos

Update: they now let you choose to turn on and off color enhancement, face beautification and background enhancement! With color and face fix turned off the photo is true to the original picture! There are even 2 versions of enhancements for some options. So totally 18 variations for users to choose from! Glad they listen to their users! I downloaded it a while ago and it has since added “degree of enhance” options. Original comment: It used to mess up some little details of the face. It seems to improve somewhat as well. Update: Asians now can get straight eyelashes now(although can still be a bit messy), and smalls details like speckles are kept, which are definitely pros. What I don’t like is how the picture got brightened and lose some to tonal details. If I want that I can do it myself with photo editing apps to the exact degree I like. Unblur was good enough before. Users would generally want accuracy over beautification from an APP like Remini. Besides, 9$/week, the price is too much.

After the new update could not save so I deleted it.

After your new update I had to delete your app. I watched the videos then I clicked to save it and your app wouldn’t let me save it after watching those ADS. So I deleted your app.

Update on your app. There’s been no improvement to fix the problems with you app and what your charging for your app isn’t worth it. Your app would be great, but it need some major work done on it. I’m still old school, digital photos are great, but still love my 35mm camera. Here’s the problem with your app. I took out some old photos one major photo is of my dad and his best friend. I used your app and Oh My God, I couldn’t believe how your app took a photo that was slightly blurry and needed some tone adjustment and your results was horrible. Your app took my dad’s friend glasses on his face left part of the glasses on his face, the other half was on his lips. Part of his lip was up to his nose, and the results got worse. So I did it again, and it came out the same. I took another old photo used your app again the results was very bad. Out of all the photos I tested your app on, I only got one good results. For some reason your app changes the person face. I restore old photos but wanted an app that wouldn’t take me a long time to restore. The old fashion way could take me almost two months. I would love to buy your app, but not like the results I get. Cindy
