One of the worst purchases.

They promised us golden mountains, but we ended up with useless software. You can't generate videos. Not even animate static images or add transitions. Literally nothing. Additionally, they removed the ability to use user styles, which would have been at least a small plus for investors. We were treated like trash. I consider companies like this a scam.

Is it a scam?

I have been waiting for your software for a long time, but it is not working. Now that your software can make videos, you want to upgrade it? What was your previous promise? Where is your integrity?

Rug pull… and fast at that!

I didn't expect "free video creation" as part of the deal and was quite happy with unlimited images per month for storyboards. My LTD was mapped to the Studio Plan, which has now disappeared entirely. Plans offered are now Essential, Pro, Unlimited, and Enterprise. No idea where my LTD fits in.

I appreciate the "free" video generation credits and understand that a feature like this couldn't possibly be on a lifetime deal... but this should've been made clear from the beginning. Anyways, I'd like to have an option to purchase more video credits on an as-needed basis without giving up my LTD. Is that possible?

In general, I hate companies overpromising and then just changing plans, changing credits, selling out, flipping, or rebranding the platform. This always leaves a bad taste in my mouth and destroys the little trust I had in AppSumo deals. After getting burnt so many times, there's little trust left. Even more so given that AppSumo never reinforces those LTDs and just stands by and lets developers pull the rug and breach the agreement. The term "If Plan name changes, deal will be mapped to the new Plan name with all accompanying updates" is probably the one I've been laughing most about.

No videos!

Wow, seriously? They promised that we can work with videos when it's available. 250 one time credits is all we get after supporting them? That is a joke. Not cool

Bought Highest Tier to Support them - They pulled a fast one

Video credits that were promised are not monthly but one time, and not mentioned anywhere. Certain types of styles fail to generate. After choosing the highest tier, they start limiting the account which seems unfair. Avoid if they come back!
