As a dedicated Sora user, I’ve found the platform to be an extraordinary tool for bringing creative ideas to life often those that feel impossible to visualize elsewhere. Sora gives that creativity in a way a few apps can bring and I believe it holds true potential for growth and development. That said, I’d like to offer some feedback from my experience. As a UI/UX designer, I’ve noticed that certain settings specifically those related to video length and orientation (landscape vs. portrait) can be difficult for users to locate and adjust. It took me some time to discover how to modify these options, and I’ve heard similar concerns from other users who found this setting and were surprised that it was on the top of the screen this entire time but they never thought to check it. For future updates, I recommend making these settings more accessible and clearly labeled. Improving their visibility and ease of use would significantly enhance the onboarding experience for new users and streamline workflows for existing ones. Aside from this, I want to say that Sora is by far the most inspiring and powerful creative app I’ve ever used. I’m excited to see how it continues to evolve and unlock its full potential.

As promised once able to use the app I would review. It’s great, that simple. The videos come out almost exactly as described. Problem, lots of limitations on what you can and can’t generate, some are understandable some are just overreach, even borderline stupid. The limit is apparently 30 videos in 24 hours and each can only be 10 seconds. I understand short video limitations with AI but tray that needs to be raised to 20 seconds for crying out loud. If there was a paid option to maybe allow 30 seconds to 1 minute videos with unlimited videos, I would be for that. As of right now it’s fun but you can’t make any compete scenes as it won’t even with detailed promises kept a character consistent. Lots of room for improvementUpdate: If they limit to 10 seconds at least make it easy for the system to to have cohesion between the screens. If I could make 30, 10 second scenes that follow the pace of each other and stay contrast the limitation wouldn’t be so bad but reach reversion is particle a new scene no matter how close you try to get the scenes to construe like they’re the same it won’t.

The app itself and the concept of what it’s supposed to do is really cool, but the way it’s actually implemented is really disappointing. If you just want to make some silly video of animals playing poker or something then it will probably do that, but if you want anything more adult/serious then it just won’t let you make it, even if you have no plans of posting it anywhere. It’s so restricted in generating things that might be violent or remotely sexual, that if you tell it to generate a punch it will do more of a shove to the body and try to hide it off screen, and will get flagged and refuse to generate anything more than that. Also, you literally can’t even include the word “bikini” in your prompt in any way without it getting flagged for sexual content. I understand the restrictions on using third party content and the likenesses of real people for legal reasons, but the restrictions on just what kind of content you can create are ridiculous. Sora does its job and generates videos, but the restrictions they give it makes it feel like you’re using the app with a parental lock and like they assume everyone using the app is 12 or something. I’d much prefer the app only be available to people 18+ or even 21+ and then be able to use Sora to its full potential instead of the lobotomized, “family friendly” version of Sora we have right now.

I do indeed love this app. It does help me creatively as an artist myself when coming up with visuals. I will say I would like it if there was an update that allowed for maybe 30 seconds to maybe a minute outside of just 10 to 15 seconds. Also it keeps telling me I have some drafts that are showing up. I’m pretty sure I deleted the ones in question but it still saying I have them. I don’t mind having a limit of thirty a day but I believe there’s a bug going on because I’ll create maybe 3 videos and by the 4th or 5th it tells me to wait because I’ve created 29 to 30. I know because I did a day counting how many I made and I don’t even reach 12 or 15 maybe 10 before I get that notice. Lastly, there should be an added option to recover videos that may have been deleted by accident or a way to upload the clips we saved to our phone as a backup option incase the initial upload got deleted. Overall love this app. Would love longer videos but definitely need a patch to the video creation limit thing
