User reviews

Users appreciate Microsoft Designer's advanced AI capabilities and quality image generation with a variety of design tools. However, recent major cutbacks in free image credits and frequent app instability frustrate users. There are persistent bugs related to loading, UI elements, and censored content policies that hamper creative freedom and smooth operation. Despite these issues, many find it a valuable free alternative to paid AI art tools, especially for beginners or casual users.

Pros

Provides a variety of design options with libraries of images and effects.
Allows creation of multiple images daily (at least in earlier versions).
Generates high-quality, detailed AI images that often meet user expectations.
Uses advanced AI models (like DALL·E 3) offering competitive visual quality.
Free version is useful and recommended for those who cannot pay for premium AI art tools.

Cons

Recent drastic reduction in free generation credits from daily to monthly limits frustrating users.
App frequently experiences loading issues, including getting stuck or failing to render images.
Heavy content censorship restricts certain inputs, sometimes flagging innocuous words leading to prompt rejections.
Interface bugs like text box malfunctions, inability to choose styles for restyling, and saving problems reported.
Inconsistent spellings and image inaccuracies (e.g., extra limbs, reversed interpretations) reduce usability.

With a juggling between my job and family, I rarely get time to spend on designing. This was a great app when I came to know about it and started using it just a week back. 15 daily "credits" or should I say "boosts" as it was known earlier, was great. But this app just stopped being great. 15 daily credits when down to 15 monthly credits. It has stopped rendering the projects. It takes couple of tries to load the credits. It has become a mess. Moving on to another app.

You just lost all your stars with me. You had the best AI image generation app out there. The best in the sense that your app could actually create images that were the closest to what I asked for. No other app can give me a drawing in pencil that actually looks like they drew it in pencil or whatever. Whatever your interface is it's the best. But then you decided to take away your 15 free boosts a day and make it to where you only get 15 boosts a month and then no more image generating at all.
