Refine: Video & Photo Editor Reviews

by Tristan #001

Bought Refine, entered my email and it sent me a confirmation for my email, will not let me sign in and says my email is not found. Support keeps saying this email can’t be found when the only reason I received the confirmation in the first place was because it was the email registered. Now they want almost my whole account number apparently to find the payment when it came out of my account almost immediately. Sorry not giving my whole account number when they have my email, this was sent to them again with their confirmation email to me and they still say they cannot find the email or payment. How are they emailing me if they cannot find it? Absolute garbage, fraud!

I’ve never written a review about an app and this is so bad, I had to. Every time I used the ‘Avatarify’ function (that seems to be their best part if it worked), it won’t use the photo I chose. If I use a photo I take with it, it still doesn’t work. The illustration interpretations are poor and sometimes won’t load. They will simple tell you, “Error”. Unreliable, overrated and simple a money grab. Nope. Turn around.

An app costing $79 dollars is expected to have at least a week to try, Refine doesn’t offer even a day? To pay $79 dollars before even trying is not good business, unfortunately this overrated at a huge cost. Thumbs down.

Great concept and if it worked most of the time, this would be a brilliant app. Even bought the pro version thinking those features would work. But alas, a sheer waste of forty bucks! Got only one pic out of 10 to actually convert to a emoji or cartoon image.

I purchased the life time subscription yesterday, and i tried Refine , and results that only the avatarify (video rendering) is working, while the (Fun) filters none of them is working for me, i did many tries, and changed many pics and tried many different filters (Toonify…Emojify … and so) and the (processing) takes like over a minute and then i get the (Oops) msg hat something went wrong… either Refine has a bug… or the functions do not work as described …
Though that Refine looks interesting … but i paid to get full access for lifetime functions … and did not get it….
Sorry to say that this is not right to be done.

I can’t even see anything interesting without being forced to pay.

I have no idea why I’d pay yet because I’ve seen nothing that would tempt me. It’s like the sales person has shown me theoretical examples of what is possible but I just have to trust them. Now give me too much money every month.

No.

Refine should come with a warning, as it only works on White people, or people with very light complexions. I’m of medium dark complexion, but it was enough to make Refine lose its mind. Cartoonify mode actual produced something that could have been painted by Salvador Dali. If you’re darker than a nice tan, you might want to hold off on this one.

by Dragonfield

Biggest bait and switch. Can’t even use Refine without buying a subscription. I’m not paying for something that I can’t try out to make sure it works. I can’t believe all the 4 and 5 star reviews. Obviously those people got a different app than I did. 🤷‍♂️

by Dr Gary

Refine doesn’t do what’s advertised at all. The cartoon images they show are utterly fake. You get nothing close to that. Whenever I find an app like this that is such a fraud it makes me wonder it’s true purpose. There are lots of scam apps in Refine Store now that steal info from your phone. I’m not saying Refine does that I’m just saying it doesn’t do what they say it does. I’m removing it from my phone and if you’ve installed it before reading these reviews, remove it immediately.

I’m disappointed. It said $39 as a life time fee.. then say an extra $19. So I decide to try Refine anyway because from the previews of it it seemed worth it . Singing photos and other special effects . But when I downloaded it , I only have a few things I can do to my photos that I could do for free from some place else. Like changing the lightening etc on a photo . Filters .. um did I pay just to do that ? Or is it somewhere on Refine and I just didn’t find the option yet other then that false advertisement.

The art they advertise as the cartoons you can use filters to get are directly ripped from artists. You can find each of their Instagram pages where the cartoon was stolen from for this. That sketchiness aside, you then have to pay a monthly subscription to do anything within Refine , and the actual cartoon-filter is just absolutely garbage, super weird and bad. You’d be better off googling “vector art free upload” and get yourself a vector picture, it’d be free and look a lot closer to a cartoon that this is.

It says “for iPad” but when I get it loaded - wrong! It’s for iPhone (portrait orientation) my iPad is landscape oriented - permanently. My iPad is attached to the Magic Keyboard - in landscape orientation. If this product were actually designed for the iPad, it would know that and adjust. This is another product designed for the phone - they didn’t even allow for landscape use - I delete those products and keep looking for ones that do. After reading some of the reviews, I’ve made the right choice.

If you decide to proceed with purchasing the year subscription (or longer), just know that the “updates” they push rarely include new Avatar songs. It’s been 6 months and I’ve been severely let down with the lack of updates pushed, in order to enjoy new content.

If you do the free trial subscription, make sure you go straight to your Purchases under settings and cancel. I will provide updates if the developer changes and/or adds features but it’s not worth the money if all they want to update is variations of pictures

by Bananaanna123454321

Cool app, but there’s only a few songs for avatarify. It would be better if there were more options. And there’s no camera options like on the ad photos. That’s not fair to advertise something that’s not included in the product

by Ajdeusen

Cool effects but you need to purchase everything

by #frduesee

Seems easy enough

by LordMongo

You only have a small hand of Gifs. We would like to see more. Please.

by Lisa232023

It’s cool so far, don’t like that I paid for Refine and still have to do stuff to unlock more features

by TheMJPeters

It’s an app that you pay for. If you think it’s free, expect to be dissatisfied. Not sure if what the resulting image has anything to do with the original image or if it’s choosing from a few images in its storage. The images it spits out are nothing I would even send to a person I didn’t like. It’s total spamware if you expect it to be anything other than a for-pay app.

by Okay So Many Names Are Taken

I love Refine I just purchased it and it’s going amazing but other comments it’s twisting around so maybe it might get worse but for now it’s a great game

by Refuzion2020

It’s a good concept but the software is buggy lots of error messages.

by Reviewer-22

I noticed that whenever I try and make a video from a picture it just does this one dood...

by Hdhdheueuehsuhz

Good

by Autumnandmaddy

Refine is okay I mean it’s alright but if you take a pic of ur self for the caricature it will show something else like if ur a girl it will come out as a man with a picture.Don’t get me wrong Refine is good but it needs a few changes

by Midnight937
