Pixly: AI Image Generator 4+

Cool, but needs more content

I created a few projects, works pretty cool. I felt like there was a limited number of options once you make a handful. What else would be cool? Then I saw an ad on instagram for this app saying you can upload your photo and choose a favorite celebrity to create a project of the 2 of you together. This sounded cool, so I tried to do that and there’s no category in the app for this effect. I’ve been chasing every menu item and can’t find this advertised feature. I have the latest version and it’s just not there. I would love to find this option, and to have a larger option of effects.

Don’t waste your money

I was really hoping this app would work as advertised. But I was hugely disappointed. For one it can take several hours to generate an image. There is no free trial for you to test the app and I am guessing they do that for a reason. The least amount of money you can spend is $8.99 and that is a 1 week commitment. I decided to spend the $8.99 and try the app before I committed to the full year. From the first image I tried generating. It did not work as advertised and at the end of my image. It was mixed with someone else’s picture. I tried another image and it worked better. But still not as advertised. They also make you pay additional money to buy “coins” to generate images. It’s like 10 coins per image and they charge an additional $5 per 50 coins.

I cancelled my subscription immediately and requested a refund. The support team got back to me 2 days later and told me they don’t have the ability to refund money and sent me to Apple support. I am hugely disappointed in the whole app and hopefully this review can save someone else the money they would have wasted.

My hopes were crushed

I had high hopes to create some nostalgic animated images from my cherished photos.
Every version of an image that the “Retro Motion” function created did not look anything like my parents or other family members in the photo. In one photo, the AI created an extra arm on the person who was supposed to be my mom. When I tried the “Live Photo” function that was supposed to make small movements like blinking, like the example they advertised, the app just slowly moved my submitted photo around the screen. I even chose photos that were clear and centered as suggested. Like gambling I kept submitting photos multiple times in hopes of a better outcome. Alas, each outcome was a disappointment that produced creepy images of the people I loved. Each attempt was also a deduction from the allocated tokens I purchased. My suggestion if you still decide to purchase this app after reading the reviews: choose the cheapest option. I’m left with tokens I don’t even want anymore. It was punishing to see my photos be transformed (read: butchered) into weird versions of themselves.
