## Review summary

Essential AI Photo Expander is praised for fast, horizontally expanding photos with good AI results sometimes. However, most users criticize the app for forcing subscriptions and ads, lacking vertical expansion, producing low-quality or unrealistic fills, and offering few editing controls. Glitches like image rotation and black borders also frustrate users. Overall, it works but is limited and monetized heavily, making it a mixed experience.

- Produces excellent results about 90% of the time according to some users.
- AI expansion concept is clever and shows promise.
- App does the job for horizontal expansion reasonably well.

### Cons

- Heavily monetized with ads and subscription requirements limiting usage.
- Only allows horizontal expansion; no vertical expansion option available.
- Image quality of expanded areas is often low or unrealistic.
- Limited controls: no resizing, cropping, or aspect ratio adjustments offered.
- Some users report app glitches such as image rotation issues and black or blurry borders.
