### 4/5 — Wow 👍

*2022-11-12, version 3.0.10*

Definitely easy to use and pretty accurate, but you could alter the images less, whenever is shows a human it’s head is big and bloated, such strange creatures…

### 5/5 — He

*2022-06-08, version 3.0.10*

This is awesome for fan films. It is not that good for really pro stuff

### 5/5 — great app

*2022-02-20, version 3.0.8*

worth the money. definitely needs an update to make it faster. it would be really cool if the devs could add a toggle-able dalek voice changer

### 5/5 — Good but...

*2020-06-23, version 3.0.8*

The whole thing has been flipping neglected it’s not been updated in a year. And the photos still have the 12th doctor in it lol

### 4/5 — Really good but always upside down

*2019-09-14, version 3.0.8*

Really good but how do you make it right side up?

### 4/5 — Awesome app. Totally worth it

*2019-03-11, version 3.0.6*

Please add recon scout

### 1/5 — Doctor Who: Eyestalk

*2019-02-13, version 3.0.6*

Stopped working after the latest update. Super lame

### 5/5 — Recording

*2018-07-24, version 3.0.6*

Celycend needs help

### 3/5 — Nice idea but....

*2017-10-19, version 3.0.6*

I like this app, but unless I’m missing something it has no sound effects.  It would be great if there was a list of phrases to add to the video, otherwise it just doesn’t make sense?

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!!!!

*2017-04-21, version 3.0.6*

This is so bad won't even let me play! (:(
