An editorial reading of the saved reviews
People have used the app for years specifically to colorize black-and-white photos, and here it often delivers a beautiful almost Kodachrome result in one click. Its weak spot is that the AI now takes noticeable liberties, changing faces, skin tone and clothing, adding fingers and even extra heads, so about a fifth of the time the shot is ruined. Plus complaints about slow loading of several minutes and frequent server crashes.

The app turns light hair dark. My sandy hair husband always has black hair.
Terrible correction. Caused an Afro American family to look Latino…nothing like family members.
