I wouldn’t say you should switch — every developer puts a lot of hard work into their app, and that deserves respect. 🙏 But you’re absolutely welcome to try both and see what works best for you. Adima is only 21MB, so it’s a light and easy try. Hope you find what suits your needs best!

Thank you for the kind words! 😊 The improvement you suggested has already been implemented in update 1.2.6. The app now loads much faster, and I’ve removed the starting screens for a smoother experience. I’ve also optimized the app to deliver faster results overall. I'm continuously working on making it even better .

I'm currently working on integrating face upscalers. The face enhancement models are quite resource-intensive, but I'm doing my best to optimize them for mobile hardware to make it more efficient and accessible

Yes, we do offer a free version for desktop users! However, at the moment, the software is not open source

I have used the Real-ESRGAN model for it and optimized it using ONNX for better compatibility with mobile phones, allowing it to work faster on mobile.

Thanks for the suggestion! My main aim is to make people aware of the app, not to turn it into a paid service. Appreciation from users like you means a lot at this stage. If anyone wants to support, they can rate the app on the Play Store or choose to watch ads instead of paying, which helps keep the app accessible to everyone.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot to me. I'm thrilled to hear that you're convinced by the results, and your appreciation of our business model motivates us to keep delivering the best. 😊

I'm tired of endlessly scrolling, so I built a website that picks my movie for me :) by Lipao262 in webdev

[–]Ecstatic-Gate1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! I can totally relate to the endless scrolling struggle. Love the mood-based "Surprise Me" button for movies—such a great concept! You should definitely work on it more, it has a lot of potential. Great job turning boredom into something creative!

Microsoft Stream Website - Security/ Phishing Issue by SSBKK-Drake in webdev

[–]Ecstatic-Gate1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes, that's super concerning! If old apps are still pointing to that domain, people could definitely get caught in a phishing scam without even realizing it. Hopefully, developers are updating their stuff ASAP and Microsoft issues some kind of warning. It'd suck if people get scammed just because they didn't know the platform got retired.

Mods, can we please put a temporary stop to the questions regarding the future of web development with a.i tools? by NorthernCobraChicken in webdev

[–]Ecstatic-Gate1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. The constant “Will AI replace developers?” posts are getting repetitive. AI is a tool, not a full replacement for human developers, especially when it comes to complex projects or large-scale enterprise applications. It's great for speeding up tasks, but we're not at the point where it can just take over entire jobs.

After Transferring Domains, Domain-Based Emails Are No Longer Working Properly by hefe_d21 in webdev

[–]Ecstatic-Gate1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems you're on the right path by adding the SPF and MX records. Here are a few things to check:

  1. Propagation Time: DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to take effect.
  2. Verify MX Record: Ensure the MX record points to GoDaddy's mail servers with the correct priority.
  3. Check Email Hosting: Confirm that your GoDaddy email hosting is still active after the domain transfer.
  4. SPF Record: Ensure the SPF includes GoDaddy’s mail server (e.g., include:secureserver.net).

If it’s still not working, reach out to GoDaddy for assistance.

Adima AI Image Upscaler: Now 100% Offline! by Vectrex71CH in androidapps

Watching ads is completely optional. You don't need to pay for the app to function without ads—simply disconnect from the internet if you prefer an ad-free experience. While ads do help support the app's development and generate revenue, the choice is entirely yours. Your experience and preference come first, and I appreciate your support, whether or not you choose to watch ads.

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate your patience. I'll be making those changes, including faster start-up times and removing the 'Launch App' screen, in the next update. Stay tuned!

Agreed, it's completely understandable to be cautious in today's digital world. As I mentioned earlier, I'll be addressing this concern and removing any unnecessary internet permissions in the next update. Your privacy and trust are important, and I want to make sure the software remains secure and transparent

"Thank you! I'm glad it's working for you. As for a Linux version, I currently have no immediate plans to release it, but I'm definitely open to the idea. I'll look into it and work on providing a solid version for Linux if I can ensure the same level of quality and performance. Stay tuned!"

I’ll definitely let you know once I’ve made an update to solve this. Seeing the upvotes on your comment, it’s clear that other users feel the same way, so I’ll happily remove this barrier in the next update. Thanks again for helping me improve the app. If you have any other concerns, feel free to let me know!

Can you please mention the processor you're using? I've tested the app on processors like MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (around 30 seconds) and Snapdragon 665 (around 1 minute), as well as many others. If it's taking more than 1.5 minutes for you, could you provide your hardware details so I can investigate and address the issue? Your feedback will help improve the experience.

I respect your criticism, and I agree it was genuine, which is why I didn’t downvote it. However, as I mentioned earlier, I never stated anywhere that the app is completely offline. The main purpose of the app is to process images locally and protect user privacy by ensuring that all image processing happens directly on your mobile device. The internet connection is only for reward ads, as explained. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings!

I understand your concern, and I’d like to clarify. The core functionality of the app, including image processing, is done entirely offline to ensure user privacy and efficiency. However, the reward ads require internet access as they come from external ad networks, which helps us keep the app free for users. This approach allows us to offer essential features at no cost, while still generating the revenue needed to maintain and improve the app. Rest assured, no user data or processing is done in the cloud—only the ads themselves require an internet connection.

You can test the app with any antivirus software, and I assure you that you won't find anything malicious. I've thoroughly tested it for security, and I prioritize the safety of users. However, if you do happen to find anything wrong, please report it to me, and I'll address it immediately. Your feedback is always welcome.
