Thanks man for your honesty. Deeply appreciate it. Honesty and integrity no longer exists in the online world. All about looking for anything positive to say when sometimes a turd is just a turd!
Thanks @zpepe. I don't want to put any tool on blast either. The nice thing is that screen recordings don't lie. I just show you the experience I have, and you can decide for yourself if I'm overreacting (positively or negatively, I'm definitely guilty of both at times!)
I think you should try again another day. If they are updating the system half of the features that you described not working cause of that. The developer sounds like a trusty guy. I think you should make a new video trying again the tool.
@@dave-swift Hi David, super good & fair review. I did buy it - but not for the "AI ads, video" etc.(Or UI) (have worked in design & adverting, so not a tool for me. - But! I bought it solely for the integrated 11Labs (pro voices + cloning voices) - "text to Podcasts" option will come soon, So I can generate qualitative speak and further edit it in FCPX etc. - for that purpose 2-3 hours text to speak in 11Labs pro voice or clone voice (11Labs pro & clone : tier 3 and up), per month for a ltd. - the price is fine :-) - Perhaps all the AI functionality will pan out later, else , even if not, or just having it with the access to integrated 11Labs pro & clone voice ex. 6-8 months - is breaks even with 6-8 months of a "direct 11Labs account"....
I see you got a little frustrated when you could not paste in your hex code for the colour for your brand, but you did not try CTRL V ( or the equivalent for mac) tx
Some of the RUclips gets blocked for analysis. Voice credits gets used when you generate a video before you can change it. Search by country is not very good. Oh and for one the AI analysis was for totally different product.
Yes, you are right but let me explain how it works. RUclips - you can watch anything (i.e. play) and for rating / analysis we have improved it and it's live. Less than 1% videos are now not getting analyzed (and that we cannot to comply with legal T&Cs). RUclips doesn't even allow brand or keyword search in their ad library. So, we have worked hard to get you this valuable data. Now, Meta (or any other library doesn't give you direct country filter consistently across different platforms and some ads are run across different countries). So, Search by country as shared in the group is our computer vision model looking into the language used (spoken inside the video or caption text) and use that to predict the country. This is prediction and not accurate (thus marked as beta). What we are doing is because we have 6M ads, and it costs 40 cents per ad analysis (in pure GPU cost to us), as a bootstrapped company we cannot process all videos upfront. So, we are "tagging" them everyday as users click analyze. So, that's how library gets better everyday. I am not sure what you mean by AI analysis was for a different product - I would be very happy to discuss this offline with you on support@quickads.ai and if we are wrong we will fix it in 48 hours or return your money + say sorry. Game? We have also made live another feature where you can pass a TikTok Ad URL (and soon Meta Ad URL) to analyze / rate the ad (or upload yours). So, we are listening carefully to the community feedback and moving fast (or shall we say quickly!). The selection of AI voice before generating the video is a good point that many users have pointed and we have confirmed it will be done by next week. We are not perfect but come talk to us and let's build something together as we are here to learn and iterate!
Thanks for sharing your experience. What do you mean the AI analysis was for a different product? BTW It was giving me the RUclips block message for even non RUclips ads but I think this is fixed now.
:) Don't give us on yet. We were already making a big fight in trying to achieve not an "AI ad generator" but a full workflow backed by data on what content to make it, bulk create it, and run everything from one platform. We are just 10 months old. Give us sometime and we will come back on this specific feedback in the video as well! For example: when Dave did the analysis, due to the outage, previous videos were in backlog and thus marked red / cannot be analyzed. Could we have communicated that error better? Yes. Is it working now - 100% yes and I am ready to come online and share it or fix it within 48 hours or give you 100$ Amazon voucher also!. We are a small (passionate) team and working as hard as we can. The demand has been more than what we anticipated. And, so has been some insane use - for example one user has done 4800 image requests in a day (as he was on a Tier-5 unlimited image plans). We have discussed with AppSumo and putting a fair use policy. Work with us as we all come to AppSumo not for money but honest feedback - that's why also responding to each and every question here, on the FB group or getting on call with customers (my calendly link is open) to see how you are using it and improve. We are here and reviews like this only make our passion (and emotions) higher :)
I completely agree that image-generation in general is just not good enough yet. Even sophisticated tools seldom produce output that is on-par with an inexpensive graphic artist. And thus, using image-gen in a ad-gen product... I'm not seeing it. Thanks, Dave. I have no doubt that a group of humans are pouring their lives into this product, and perhaps they will eventually produce a good product... but they're not there yet.
Thank you Valenti. Indeed we are making our best effort. I invite you for a live zoom call to test together the image generation. This specific example is not the way it was meant to be. We are also integrating with the latest Flux models over the weekend. Please contact us anytime and give us a chance before you make up your mind as we value each and every community member's opinion.
You should try the product again or interview the founder, it is very responsive. Also check the roadmap. The bugs could be just because server update. Theoretically they are backed by Nvidia venture capital.
@@dave-swift Dear Dave, we would like to kindly ask you to test again next week. Would you be willing to do that? This was series of odd situations and product (like any young product) has development needs but it's not as bad as it looks. The discover library is working and there were issues getting things back and migrating things (in pieces) out of openAI and /or some way some images you tried. Why don't we do another test next week same time or give us a chance to do a 30min zoom call with you to explain few things?
Hi Quickads, I mean no malice towards your product. I’m recording the experience as it is, right now in August of 2024. I don’t agree that all young tools have these problems. I’ve reviewed hundreds of Appsumo tools and very few have these issues, but I’m glad to hear you’ll be taking steps to improve your product soon. Personally, I believe you’re doing too much and should focus on a more narrow scope until it is refined. Software is hard. It’s the little things that need to be flawless to give the tool a good feel. I’m happy to give this another look if I hear from the community that it is worth it and the offer is still on AppSumo, but until then, I must continue on as there are more tools launching every week. Best of luck!
I checked and the images are better, but it still couldn't pull an image from my website consistently and when I tried to use the generated image as a background for a product shot, it crashed my browser. In general Flux is pretty impressive.

I did.
This was the second day. The second entire video I shot.
Support told me everything was fixed.
Agreed 100% 👍

@@dave-swift hi meant that the ad I choose and the results I got were completely different thing. Didn’t related at all.
Great honest, and thorough review..thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
solid review - I almost bought QA - will hold
Thanks DIY. Are you looking for a tool to make display ads or just like AI tools?
Damn...I was really looking forward to try this one...!!!

I recorded my review twice. On two separate days after support confirmed everything was working.
You don’t want to see the first version.

If you srill have the license could you please check the latest Friday's update with flux 1.0? That could be a good or bad im curious.
I checked and the images are better, but it still couldn't pull an image from my website consistently and when I tried to use the generated image as a background for a product shot, it crashed my browser.
In general Flux is pretty impressive.
can any tool for fb ads generate more sales for me?
No tool can do it all for you. You need to learn some fundamentals of advertising.
@@dave-swift
can you tell
Not for me
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the comment 👍
