### 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…

### 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

### 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?

### 4/5 — Da Bes

*2016-01-07, version 3.0.6*

This app is really great. I am into film making and i love doctor who so this app was perfect. It's pretty much how I expected it to operate. You can take videos or photos in HD or LD. The only downside is that there aren't enough features for it to cost $1.99. Also to that guy who asked, you switch daleks by swiping the screen. Anyway yeah its a good app, I suggest buying it if you are a true whovian.

### 3/5 — How do you change Dalek type?

*2015-10-11, version 3.0.6*

It's ok but I just can't figure out how to change the eyestalk... Please help

### 3/5 — It's ok

*2015-10-10, version 3.0.6*

It could use more

### 3/5 — Works on iPad2 but not ipad3

*2015-09-27, version 3.0.6*

Not sure why but it works on one of our sons iPads but not on the latest one. Which seems a bit odd, we have tried updating the software, reinstalling the app, and re starting the iPad but to no avail. It starts up and those goes immediately to credits and then shuts down....

### 3/5 — Good

*2013-11-22, version 3.0.4*

I wish u can make videos

### 2/5 — Basic

*2013-11-09, version 3.0.4*

Considering the price, I would like a refund. Nice idea but ultimately boring.

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2013-11-05, version 3.0.4*

I like the app but if the user could see how the picture will turn out color and distortion wise as they are taking the picture instead of afterwards I think it would make the app better and I would give it a 5 star.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2013-10-29, version 3.0.4*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Surprised

*2013-10-16, version 3.0.4*

I accidentally bought this app, but its actually pretty cool. It has several Dalek views and can do video in them as well, the only thing i wish this app had was a feature to retouch photos already taken and apply the filter to that. Other than that its a great whovian product.

### 2/5 — It's just a camera

*2013-10-16, version 3.0.4*

Should be 59p
Would be much better if you can add images and sounds etc....

### 1/5 — Doctor Who: Eyestalk

*2019-02-13, version 3.0.6*

Stopped working after the latest update. Super lame

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!!!!

*2017-04-21, version 3.0.6*

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

### 1/5 — Meh

*2015-05-18, version 3.0.5*

It is not worth 2.29$ and is impossible to turn on video mode and don't let the photos on details deceive you.

### 1/5 — Don't Buy!

*2015-03-07, version 3.0.5*

App doesn't work at all - crashes repeatedly. Don't waste your $$ or time!

### 1/5 — Update needed.

*2014-01-18, version 3.0.4*

I can’t write a honest review of this app as not nothing is working, i have a iPhone 5c and i can’t save photos theres no video plus others absent options  the question mark button displays and i get a failure notice that my device doesn’t  support the composer sheet.

### 1/5 — Dalek eye stalk

*2013-12-30, version 3.0.4*

I think it is rubbish so I would advise you not to buy this game.It only takes pictures in blue form.

### 1/5 — Not Quite right

*2013-04-19, version 3.0.2*

There are a few things that need to be fixed. Audio in sinc with the video, and when using pre-recorded videos the image is upside down and tucked in a corner. Please fix this if you are the app creator. Otherwise this is a great app. : (

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2013-04-02, version 3.0.0*

I downloaded this on my iPad and I don't have access to all functions.  Not sure where the pictures get saved to as I can't find them in my photos.  I can't take any videos or or use any existing photos already on my iPad.  Need to fix in the next update.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2013-03-30, version 3.0.0*

Offers one photographic filter for £1.49. Novelty wore off after 30 seconds. Can I have my money back?

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-11-11, version 2.0.1*

This is crud. The screen drops down the corner and you can't enlarge it or use the thing.

### 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

### 5/5 — Recording

*2018-07-24, version 3.0.6*

Celycend needs help

### 5/5 — Doctor who eyestalk

*2016-06-26, version 3.0.6*

This is so cool but can you please make a Iron man version I would love that

### 5/5 — How do dis wrk?

*2015-01-12, version 3.0.5*

How do you get the daleks on the screen?

### 5/5 — Needs more

*2014-04-08, version 3.0.4*

It's a great  but needs more like to shoot something or someone and sound effects

### 5/5 — 7 Dalek Effects

*2014-01-01, version 3.0.4*

You simply access the all the Dalek effects by swiping the screen from left to right or right to left. The camera overlay will then just slide into view. The help button explains this.

If you say No to EyeStalk accessing the photo library, just go to your iPhones settings, then Privacy, then Photos and turn on access for EyeStalk.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2013-12-15, version 3.0.4*

It is fun to use but could do with a few tweeks. You can use them on existing photos too I hasten to add.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-11-12, version 3.0.4*

Brilliant little app, does the Dalek visual effects very nicely
