A useful and somewhat amazing app as most times the colors look spot on. On the pics I have colored though the older algorithm seems to have done a better job than the newer ones just recently introduced. At times, colors get blotchy on the newer ones. If it were possible I would like to be able to select which algorithm to use on any given picture.

Wow!! I was super sceptical when I saw this app, because I often painstakingly colorize photos in photoshop. I thought there was no way a machine learning app could do this. Well, I was wrong. You have to mess around with the settings a bit (I recommend lower render setting numbers for portraits of one or two people, and higher for groups), but once you figure it out you can get amazing results. So happy I found this app, bought the lifetime access. Thank you developers!

Way better than I was expecting. On certain images it's not 100% perfect but still I'm not going to knock off a star just for such a minor thing. It does really well with images of humans, animals, and land scapes. I tested it on some black and white art as well and it's cool looking at what colors the app puts in there. On things that aren't really meant to be colorized it picks a warmer color scheme using shades of yellow, orange,and red. I recommend this app over others that are online.
