An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The app is built specifically for restoring old shots and needs no fiddling with prompts, which is praised by people whose faded 1970s and 80s Polaroids and torn photos came back to life. But the result depends heavily on the source, on slightly blurred shots it does almost nothing and Apple's built-in sharpening does better. A common complaint is that during restoration a person's face changes beyond recognition, and the subscription money is not refunded after a failure.

It did not do anything to clarify my photo and actually changed my grandfather’s features instead of clarifying his face from grainy. I want my $9.99 back.
