The ability to customize the home panel with most frequently used tasks is handy. #### Cons It’s made for the iphone and hasn’t yet been programmed for the ipad. So when you use it, it’s only a small iphone panel in the middle of the screen. As a result it’s hard to see the image you’re working on. The GUI could be a little better with shortcut something to make undo etc, more seamless. It would be also better if another payment option could be added. Subscriptions are a pain, honestly, so a perpetual liscense purchase would be really great. #### Reasons for choosing Fotor Suite of capabilities. I didn’t. It’s a companion app to my main products. --- ### Seriously going to blow your mind! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: brittany c. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

When you ask the AI to open the eyes, they end up looking in a strange direction, or just plain strange.
