Would be great if I can use what I purchased. I can unlock and use the fonts with no problem. However, the main reason concern is that I paid to unlock all media (ability to put in songs and videos) and it won’t let me. Disappointed, so if the team can fix that it’ll be great. I can send you verification that I bought the feature and what it says. **Developer response:** Hello, sorry to hear about that, have you been able to resolve the issue? Sometimes closing and reopening the app is the simplest fix. Let me know if the problem persists hello@ubicolor.com ### 2/5 — Demasiado complicado de usar *2020-01-03, version 4.0* La interfaz está muy mal diseñada a la hora de escoger qué quieres añadir ### 4/5 — AR Layout App that does plenty!!! *2019-02-01, version 4.0* The app features a lot of AR wishlists I always wanted to have on my iPhone. Placing frame, video, music, objects, text. There is this new USDZ import but could not find a way to import it. Also is there a plan to have scene, object or face referencing and saving/loading? ### 4/5 — Worth a little money... *2018-12-07* After figuring out how to change the text to different words and the font and the cool effects, and colors.... I really enjoyed playing with the app. I have the thought of my 2nd grade class trying it out to do their spelling words in the class. It would be very engaging! ### 2/5 — Non-Biased Review:Not with your time *2018-11-01* So within the app I thought dang good graphics and Emojis! For free to ! But no the app is actually horrible. The emojis look nothing like how they look in the pictures advertised. Next I bought the 1$ all so I could make a real review but there was no feature in which you could write your own script. Not worth the 1$ and overall Waste of time. 2 out of 5 Stars. **Developer response:** Hello, if you want to type your own words, this is available from the free version too. Place a word in the scene, then tap on it and finally tap on ‘T’ to change it’s text. ### 1/5 — Poor directions *2018-09-28* App lack sufficient directions for use of options. Not intuitive enough to discover how it is manipulated. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2018-09-25, version 3.1* Just never did anything iPhone 7 Plus ### 4/5 — Bei Video immer Absturz *2018-09-25, version 3.1* Eigentlich eine Super App, mit der man viel Spaß hat, aber leider funktioniert das Abspeichern von den Videos nicht. Die App stürzt ab und das Video wird nicht gespeichert. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — If it worked I would give it a 5 star *2025-11-22* When I open the app it crashes plz fix it **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re working on a big update ### 1/5 — Do not play this on IOS 15 or less *2024-08-01, version 5.0.1* It doesn’t work so if a dev sees this fix it ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-07-23, version 5.0.1* No ### 1/5 — The only thing I can say is don’t get it *2020-07-03, version 4.0* DONT GET THE GAME OR YOU WILL DIE TOMOROW ### 1/5 — Mal gestión de teclado y liquida batería *2019-12-31, version 4.0* Cuando sale el teclado ya no hay manera de esconderlo y no posiciona bien el texto. Supongo que será normal que la batería se agote súper rápido al usar AR y cámara pero es exagerado el consumo. Instalada y desinstalado en 2 minutos . ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work like it’s preview *2019-03-15, version 4.0* In the preview, I saw the smiley being hidden behind the tree but when I tried.. it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Come on⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉ *2019-02-16* When I went to put a emoji on the ground it kicked me out and then I thought that you can type your own text but I can’t Maker please fix this and I will give you a chance. **Developer response:** Hello! To add your own text, chose a text style, place it on a surface, tap on the T button ( bottom left) to edit the text, color , animations, etc ### 1/5 — Relocalizes too much *2018-11-09* Having to relocalize repeatedly makes it pretty hard to spend any money on it. Save your money and time. ### 1/5 — Needs better instructions *2018-10-27* If you miss the instructions at the beginning then you’re on your own. No way to go back and no explanation as to how it works. What I can manage to make work is not fun, way too big and off screen, unable to center anything, and a general waste of time. This my 1st AR App and boy I hope the rest are not let downs too. **Developer response:** Message received!...we’ll make the tutorial available from settings. Thanks for the feedback. ### 1/5 — Glitchy and useless *2018-10-15* Skip this one and look elsewhere for similar functionality. This app is glitchy, doesn’t produce reliable results and is a waste of time. Glad I didn’t pay for it or I’d be asking for a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Detailed review *2026-07-16* Nice ar quality, allows you to add custom text and and emojis into your surroundings, but what about custom models? **Developer response:** Thanks! If you save a 3D file on your phone, in the Files app for example, you can then share it to AR Camera (make sure the app is open first) - also you may have to rescale the object as they usually appear at 100x scale 😬 ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2020-08-08* This app is impressive stuff, it tracks unique points in 3D space almost flawlessly and the 3D objects always stay where they’re put even when you move far away from them. Lots of fun to play with :) my only suggestion is work on real objects going in front of the 3D objects obstructing them such as walls and trees. **Developer response:** Thank you! The occlusion is already active in the app, slowly “scan” the surface obstructing the virtual object and you’ll see it disappear. It works great if you place a virtual object under a table, and then "scan” the table top. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-07-11* Easy to use no ads and just overall fun! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Occlusion *2020-05-04, version 4.0* I like occlusion ### 5/5 — Formerly wordup *2019-02-02* I like this app but I was very confused with the latest update because in my update notifications it isn’t listed as wordup. So I was searching for the app listed and could not find it on my phone. And as I didn’t recall downloading it under the new name I thought my phone may have been compromised by an outside source. It wasn’t until I viewed the video of this app and saw the #wordup that I realized it was the same app. My suggestion is maybe your developers should have put “Formerly #wordup” as the first line of the update description. Scared me there for a minute. I like the app though. **Developer response:** You are 100% right! Sorry for the confusion ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-02-01* Last update is amazing! ### 5/5 — لايفوتكم *2018-11-28, version 3.1* ممتاز يستحق 5نجوم ### 5/5 — Interesting and entertaining *2018-10-22* Pretty cool little app ### 5/5 — If *2018-10-21, version 3.1* Real kewl ### 5/5 — Wordup Rules *2018-09-23* I was going through my apps and found Wordup.I tried playing and I was just getting the hang of it so That’s why I am writing this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
