What goes wrong
Such a shame this app has become unusable due to the amount of ads. More than half the screen is taken up by unrelated distracting video ads. I can’t use it anymore.
It keeps showing a black screen, refuses to load content, and constantly gets stuck for no reason.
Under the AI tab, I have turned off every category and yet I open the app and AI slop is all I get.
I am unable to use. Tried login multiple times yet couldn’t.
I downloaded this app to save a live photo for my wallpaper but there isn't any option to save it in your library. Same thing for your files, can't save it in there. 1 star
