However, recurring issues center on lifetime subscription problems (cancellation, deactivation, cross-device access), frequent stability problems (freezes/crashes/exits), a restrictive pricing model with ads, and weak support responses. History management quirks also appear. When it works, the app delivers strong results and value; otherwise, licensing, reliability, and support challenges dominate the feedback. ### Pros - Realistic, natural-looking facial enhancements that stand out from competitors. - Pro version works well and offers good value. - Long-term usability with positive usage over years. - Broad overall positive sentiment and satisfaction across multiple reviews. - Generally stable performance when it functions, with few crashes reported. ### Cons - Lifetime subscription cancellations/activation/restoration issues across devices, with slow or no support response. - App instability: freezes, lags, crashes, and unexpected exits. - Pricing and feature access: lack of free features, heavy subscription requirements, and ads. - Support responsiveness problems and difficulty getting license restoration. - History management limitations: cannot clear or delete edit history. ## Similar extensions and apps - [AI Photo Enhancer - PixelPro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/photo.enhancer.imageenhancer.photoeditor.ai.enhancer) — 95,661 users - [AI Photo Enhancer & Unblur](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vivd.labs.photo.editor.image.enhancer) — 459 users - [PixUp - AI Photo Enhancer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.enhancer.aiphoto.editor) — 2,138,841 users, 3.40 / 5 - [Photo Enhancer - Unblur Photos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ai.photo.enhancer.enhance.upscale.unblur.image.quality) — 52,695 users, 3.50 / 5 - [AI Photo Enhancer - AI Enhance](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ai.photo.enhancer.photoclear) — 2,733 users - [AI Photo Enhancer-Unblur Photo](https://chrome-stats.com/d/photoenhancer.ai.artwork.image.enhancer.colorizephotos.restoreoldphotos) — 4,759 users - [AI Photo Enhancer - HD Unblur](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ai.photo.enhancer.enhance.image.quality) — 2,908 users - [PixClear – AI Photo Enhancer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vm.ai_image_enhancer) — 124 users - [Ai Photo Enhancer Unblur image](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dw.aiphotoenhancer.unblur.editor) — 60,968 users - [UpPixel - AI Photo Enhancer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.pix.pixelup) — 833 users - [Photo enhancer - AI upscale](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fast.picture.blurclear) — 36,334 users, 3.00 / 5 - [PhotoApp - AI Photo Enhancer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.scaleup.photofx) — 14,087,951 users, 4.15 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.codeway.pixelup)
