1. ★★★★★AI distortion of faces and details

   AI Slop now, changes subjects. I’ve been using this app for years. I would upload a black and white photo and it would give me back the photo with vague color and skin tint. But it at least it gave me back the same people and subjects. Today I used it and it provided me better colorization BUT different people with different clothes and with features of AI slop like multiple hands, webbed hands, and weirdness. ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. Does not colorize your photo. It recreates a new image.

2. ★★★★★AI distortion of faces and details

   Poor Rendering. This app is only accurate in its rendering about 20 percent of the time. Often faces are changed enough to render the picture useless. Even worse it has added another head to a body where one does not exist. I have tried to improve a very faded color picture, but instead it changes the whole color scheme. Other apps do not do that. I have already turned off the automatic renewal. Anyone interested in a true rendering of an old picture, this app can’t do.

3. ★★★★★AI distortion of faces and details

   Not. Terrible correction. Caused an Afro American family to look Latino…nothing like family members.

4. ★★★★★AI distortion of faces and details

   Ai Adds Fingers. This used to be a good app. Now it’s Ai slop that changes the photos, adds fingers to everything with a hand, changes detail, … just run away.

5. ★★★★★AI distortion of faces and details

   Disappointed. It add whiskers and it colorized when I only want to restore B&W

6. ★★★★★payment traps and dishonest practices

   Scam. The creator of this app did a dake giveaway on reddit claiming the lifetime was free. It was not.

7. ★★★★★payment traps and dishonest practices

   Scammed by “free” app. Developer scams people by pretending to offer a free lifetime code with a fake code. Dishonest way to boost download and expose!

8. ★★★★★removal of free access and forced subscription

   The new version is terrible. I don’t know who thought this latest version of the software was better, but it’s not. Before you could select the individual fixes you wanted to do, and now, you have no choice. Unless the developers come up with another version that restores the app’s previous features, I won’t be renewing my Pro membership when it comes up for renewal in January.

9. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

   Horrible colourising app. Using the free website version for the colouring gives FAR superior results than their app. Save your money.

10. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Dreadful App. Doesn’t work anymore. Spinning beach ball of death and mediocrity just goes on forever. Who keeps giving this stinker of an app high ratings when it doesn’t even work?

11. ★★★★★payment traps and dishonest practices

    Barely works. This app isn’t worth a download. The app isn’t user friendly and the only option they give you is a monthly subscription that you have to subscribe too in order to proceed with the app. Then once you see it’s worthless there isn’t a way to cancel it in the app. Not worth even downloading.

12. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    What a joke!!!. Unlike other apps of similar type, after you choose a photo option it just keeps on buffering and buffering and buffering!! And buffering! But. Still no photo comes up to fix! This has happened repeatedly over several months. I’m tired of reporting the issue. Must be a scam!!! I’m sure others must be experiencing similar issues when using this app. Ugh!! Waste of time to date!! Disappointed Pro Member!

13. ★★★★★other

    Terrible. Very disappointed.

14. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Review. Do Not Buy This! Server down half the time. Colorization is definitely not truth in advertising. Their “colorization” is either sepia or bluish purple. This is a SCAM.

15. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    上传到100%以后就无反应了. 上传到100%以后就无反应了

16. ★★★★★payment traps and dishonest practices

    Colorize. Stay away from Colorize Pro. They take your money and don’t upgrade. They also don’t answer the problems you’re having.

17. ★★★★★removal of free access and forced subscription

    Not free. Website says download the app. “Download right now and use it 100% free!” You can use it but if you want to be able to keep the colorized photo you must sign up and pay.

18. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Dumb. Doesn’t work keeps falling off its own server

19. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Images stop uploading at 70%. Images stop uploading at 70% and time out! Only getting 2 out of 10 images to upload in the app. Do the images have to be a small file size as opposed to larger file size?

20. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Not working. The app keeps freezing up

21. ★★★★★AI distortion of faces and details

    It didn’t colorize my b&w photo.. It didn’t colorize my b&w photo. It just gives options for tinting the entire photo.

22. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Absolutely Useless.. Every time I open the app and upload a photo, just crashes. Given up trying. DONT BOTHER. I had to give it 1 star as the review system won’t allow less. No stars from me!

23. ★★★★★other

    Useless due ads. Throws up a full screen ad straight after the initial splash screen that you can’t close. Renders the ap completely useless. Deleted.

24. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Didn’t work. Tried a few times using different pictures not one worked. Just kept telling me try again.

25. ★★★★★payment traps and dishonest practices

    Useless. I paid for the Pro service and still can’t download. RIP off.

26. ★★★★★payment traps and dishonest practices

    Doesn’t work unless you pay to upgrade. Have to upgrade to,pro for even small images. Nothing seems to work in the app or online. Don’t bother

27. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Doesn’t work. Doesn’t work.

28. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Terrible App. It only works for one picture and that doesn’t work again. The features are OK but like I said, they don’t work most of the time.

29. ★★★★★AI distortion of faces and details

    Hit and a miss. Every once in a while it gives you good results. Mostly it just makes out new faces entirely (if you are lucky enough to get a face and not a complete blur

30. ★★★★★freezing and server failures

    Colorize Takes WAY Too Long To Load. I’ve been using this app for about 2 years now. However, for an application that is NOT FREE. & with technology in 2024, it’s becoming more frustrating to use it. Every single time it takes a minimum of 5 minutes to get from the main screen to the colorize screen. That is just too long. I’m going to have to report this issue to Apple and get my money back. I’d rather use an app that respects how important my time is. If the developers respected the customers time this issue would’ve been fixed. I’m quite positive I’m not the only one that has this issue.
