Lensa AI: photo & video editor 4+

Huge improvement

The current version of the app represents a huge leap forward as compared to earlier ones, specifically in regards to the AI Avatars. The new "realistic" model is one of the best, and finally dispenses with the monotonous sameness of the style of what is now called "Artistic 2". Being able to reuse the last set of prompt photos without selecting them again is a big timesaver when generating multiple sets. They have also finally squashed the bug that would sometimes freeze the upload and prevent the app from generating the images.

If I could make any recommendations for the future (aside from new styles), it would be the ability to save a set of prompt images locally, and select that set when creating new avatars.

One small note—I was dismayed to see that some of the old styles were no longer available--specifically, Cosmic and Pop. The other missing styles were holiday related, and may return around Halloween and Christmas, but I'm not sure why the others went away.

So I’m a little frustrated with this app at the moment

So I find the photos for the magic AI beautiful. I’ve already spent more money than I’d like to admit just doing it for myself, my friends and family because of how much I love how the photos turn out, but I just went to check on my newest set I’ve purchased and the screen just shows a loading circle with after 5 minutes, nothing loaded. I saw my app needed to be updated so I figured that it would be just that but I was wrong. It’s still showing the loading circle. I’ve spent money each time for each photo set, and not only can I not access the current one the app was working on, but I can’t even access the other 5 I’ve paid for? I feel it’s valid to be upset considering this app charges $8 per 200 photos each time you want to upload even when you have the free trial enabled which is like $38 a year. It’s very pricy, and the problem is I wouldn’t even mind paying that amount if I could get unlimited uploads for no additional charge but the fact that you have to pay each time and as of right now, I can’t even access any of the photos I’ve paid for? You guys gotta figure something out because I kinda feel like I’m getting robbed here. I work hard for my money and I don’t really appreciate having it wasted on something I can’t even access.

Hi! Please open Magic Avatars again – is the pack displayed now? If it is, just wait for the loading of avatars 😉

If it isn't, it will be necessary to contact Apple Support for a refund: https://support.apple.com/contact. We understand that it takes time but we can't process refunds from our side as the option isn't provided to app developers :( Sorry for the caused inconvenience! When your request is considered, you can try to create avatars again 🤍

Please developers, reach out to me!

UPDATE: Developers got ahold of me saying to email my ideas. But I have done that, and have heard nothing back. By the way, the app store says this app has not been updated for 2 YEARS! So the response I got seems like you want my money, but have no interest in improving this product. I am aware that you say the mac version is not optimized as much and you say to use the phone app. Well I paid for the MAC app, it's on the mac store. And the phone app would do me no good. Seems insane to offer a product but then tell us it's not a good product to use, and to download the phone app. What the heck?

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

So I have a LOT of great ideas that could make the mac version more handy. Don't get me wrong, what this app does is really amazing. But it is a bit clunky, missing some basic features. For example, folders to store projects in. Also cropping, integration with apple photos ad lightroom (woudl love this), and that is just to name a few of the top of my head. I was also concerend that it shows you have not updated the app in 2 years, yet I just paid for a year sucbscription. Is this an abandoned project? Please say it isn't. You have a real gem in the rough here. Please let me know where I can email someone to discuss ideas that would take this software into 2024 :-)

Hi there,
At the moment the Mac version is not optimized and that is why we recommend using the Mobile version.
