At first glances this looks like a great time saving tool, however once you get into it it’s clearly just another AI shambles. Handy if you can’t draw and want it to generate images and text for you but come one, if you can’t do that then you don’t really have any business using an app like this anyway. Used it to try and save time by creating stencils for realism pieces but every stencil it returns has its dimensions altered from the original image (only noticeable when actually over laying the stencil on to the original) and has odd little extra bits thrown into the design.
Developer Response
Thank you for the honest and detailed feedback. You make a very fair point about the strict 1:1 dimension accuracy required for realism tattoos. Because the app utilizes AI processing to generate the stencils, retaining exact original proportions and eliminating all background artifacts is a known challenge we are actively working to solve. We appreciate you taking the time to point this out; input from artists like you is exactly what helps us refine the tool and make it better with every update.
• A shorter, smoother onboarding experience so you can start creating sooner.
• Various refinements and stability improvements.
