Instead of having us pay a subscription to publish our app and download it and having us have limits, then you have to get rid of the subscription and replace it with advertisements or something. You’d get your money and we don’t have to pay a single dime.
I was excited to try, and as a user of Mimo, I was following the game tutorial. First prompt said it was ready, I tried to refresh/run it. It failed and said error. It asked if I wanted to correct it, I said fix it, it worked for awhile supposedly installing dependencies that it said were missing, it said it fixed it, I tried refresh/run again, it said it was broken again and asked me to fix it. It asks again if I wanted to fix. Over and over. Then it said I was out of credits and I have to pay $20 to continue. It never succeeded. I’m very disappointed. I even used the prompt that Mimo suggested.For the free trial user, it was a terrible experience. All credits used up for errors the app should have known on first try ( dependencies are obvious right? )The free trial user should not be penalized for errors on first prompt, that was suggested by Mimo. Really?Free Trial Users should be able to keep trying until at least one successful launch, instead of having to wait 24hrs to try another 5 debugging prompts with an app with missing dependencies. I have no way to provide those dependencies to the AI that I am aware of in that environment. I am a programmer, I could manually install the missing files with some instruction or man page…Looks like it’s not quite ready for prime time and not quite user friendly and not quite generous enough when it comes to errors and no alternative to run it manually outside the AI environment to try and fix it directly and no written instructions to assist the user.I would have liked to see what it should have created without intervention. I’m sorry, but first impressions are important. Hope they can improve the initial experience and be more generous when every single prompt is used up by errors one after another with zero success.
Sometimes works flawlessly, then other times (like the last 48 hours) it completely ignores all my prompts and does nothing-resulting in me wasting my precious messages. This happened first the day before yesterday. I thought maybe the prompts I was giving were too advanced so I tested it with a simple prompt: change the header on the home page. Same problem, no changes made. Then suddenly, it seemed to “catch up” on all my prior prompts that didn’t “load”. Fast forward to yesterday and all of the sudden it started doing it again. As of today it still will not execute any new prompts (though it says it does). Dev team can you help out? I will edit this review if we can get this solved. Thank you
We're sorry to hear you've had this experience. We've had some issues in the past couple of days, which have been resolved. Could you try again, please? If your issue persistS, contact us at support@instance.so with screenshots so that we can help you with your case. Thank you!
I wanted to make updates to FarmAI which I made with Instance but when I wanted to remove the videos I requested and replace them with books the Videos were still there and when I wanted to make a game it was just a white screen please fix this
Currently, Instance has free and paid plans. Everyone gets 5 free requests a day, which means you have your own software engineer working on 5 requests a day for free. This is a great way to start, but if you need more, there are different tiers you can pick. We hope this clears things up. We're also working on fixing the issues you reported.
Honestly it works great, a little buggy at times. My biggest complaint is that your limits are barely noted and I don’t feel like they were presented to me at the time I signed up for the $20 plan.. all of a sudden I’m out of credits and have to buy more or wait until next month.
Love the simple design which is not intimidating at all for those who are not coders.This app is a vibe. Can’t wait to see what kind of features are coming next.
That's great to hear! We can't wait to see what you'll build next.
