It barely responds to eyebrow movements. The documentation is absolutely bogus, or almost non existent. It doesn’t even tell you what features are being unlocked, can one record more than 3 seconds when purchasing? It just doesn’t tell you. What exactly are you getting when you purchase it? Not really good. ### 4/5 — Problem on iPhone 14 pro max *2022-12-07, version 1.99* There’s a problem on my iPhone 14 pro max. Some time the face model just can’t move, I reinstalled many times but this bug is still there. And I try to use it on my iPad Pro , it was totally find in the pass, but this time has same problem too. I guess is the newest version of the iOS have some compatibility problem. This is really bothering me. I hope could fix it soon. ### 5/5 — Well worth the price *2022-06-21, version 1.99* Phenomenal app. Well worth the price for facial mocap, especially for hobbyists. ### 5/5 — Miles ahead of the competition *2022-01-19, version 1.97* By far the best option currently available on iPhone for facial capture and live streaming. Thank you for the fast and responsive app with 0 bloat and all the features one could ask for. ### 5/5 — Clean data *2021-11-22, version 1.97* We have tried many of the ARKit apps, and this is the best by far. We always manage to get great results. For best results we avoid fluorescent lights, which give a horrible jittery data. LED lights on the other hand produce very clean data. Like any tool, you got a know how to use it. ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2021-11-06, version 1.95* Simply the best facial capture app out there. Its slim streamlined and affordable. Zero bloat. The developer is responsive and helpful, i really couldn’t be more pleased. I was so excited by this app i bought an iPhone so i could make it part of my work flow. ### 2/5 — Mouth does not record movement with iPhone 13 *2021-09-28* Functions are pretty limited and hard to understand. There is very little documentation. I’m guessing this app is no longer supported by the Dev. Very expensive and I recommend not using this software at least for newer versions of iPhone. **Developer response:** This app is still under active development, there is lots of documentation on the website. If you have an issue please use the contact form on the website and we will resolve your issues together. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous price *2021-06-27, version 1.95* This app is ridiculously expensive to record longer than 3 second, basically 75$ to record ### 1/5 — Live mode ?? *2021-03-25, version 1.95* How are you suppose to test live mode functionality when you only have 5seconds ? Impossible !! How long does it take to configure Blender and see the mask in blender ? Longer than 5 sec’s I give this app a 3stars but then take 1star away for price gouging & 1 more star for not giving a longer duration for a testing mode . To bad this app had real potential of being #1 But 75$ You Must be crazy !! 10-20$ & you would of sold 10,000x more than what you sold as of now . Greediness kills ,price gouging ruins Business . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only 3 seconds recorded! *2026-04-25, version 2.0.3* No options to get longer than 3 seconds recording???? ### 1/5 — Cheaper to go ifacialmocap or livelink *2024-08-15, version 2.0.3* both of them work with faceit on blender you can just pay for that addon instead of paying 70$ here... ### 1/5 — Ripoff for what it does *2024-01-05, version 2.0.1* Im pretty sure the “great” reviews are spam. The performance of the app is low quality and the price is outrageous for it. 69.99 for permanent unlock or 11.99 a month. There’s other apps that are less or free and perform better. ### 1/5 — 70$? R u. Kidding *2023-10-07, version 2.0.1* Leave It To yourself ### 1/5 — Wasted money *2023-04-02* I’ll remove this post when I get a solution. I paid for this. But when I export the files after a recording, the animation is not saved. ASCII files aren’t even accepted by blender lol. When I try to connect with a 3d app on my Pc, there is no transfer of data. Help me or send a refund please. **Developer response:** We are always happy to assist. Please use the contact form on the website to get in touch and we'll get this sorted. ### 1/5 — Export doesn’t work anymore *2023-01-23, version 1.99* Pressing Export says it exports a file, but doesn’t tell you where the file goes. It says to use the Files app to find it, but it’s nowhere to be found. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-11-18, version 1.99* The app just shows a grey background. When switching apps ne back to Face Cap i can see the 3D face for a split second then it’s gone again. Bummer, I wanted to buy the full version for a customer project, but certainly not if it doesn't even work! ### 1/5 — Das ist kein echter Face Scan *2022-01-20, version 1.97* Die App hat nichts mit Face Scan zu tun. Hier wird einfach ein ganz normales fixes Face-Mesh mit Morphern verändert. Wahrscheinlich mit openCV. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob das überhaupt kommerziell genutzt werden darf (Es gibt auch eine kostenpflichtige App vom gleichem Hersteller) ### 1/5 — i hate this idiotic app *2021-07-20, version 1.95* I CANT EVEN SEE THE FACE THIS IS SO ANNOYING. ### 1/5 — I can’t see my face *2021-07-09, version 1.95* It just won’t work I can’t see my face ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-14, version 2.0.3* Very good and easy in use ### 5/5 — Awesome app for 4+ years *2024-08-12* I’ve been using this app for 4 years and it’s been consistently excellent. I run a small animation studio, I teach with this app, and I love supporting small businesses as well. This app is so useful because it records FBXs & WAVs from voice actors without any fuss, making it easy for a technical animator to work with the data. Niels consistently responds to questions promptly and even supported my students in the MIT MITES program last year. Long live Face Cap!! ### 5/5 — great app!! *2024-01-29* this is the greatest face cap app i experienced. ### 5/5 — Dependable and functional *2023-12-18, version 2.0.1* I’ve been using Facecap for a few years and it continues to deliver. Recently I started using custom avatars that can be uploaded to the app. This is a game changer as my actors get realtime feedback on the character they are animating. If you’re looking to get into facial mocap, this is the app to get. ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-08-09, version 2.0.1* Awesome ### 5/5 — Must-have app for 3D artists *2023-03-14, version 2.0.1* A mighty app! It’s super stable, reliable and no nonsense, the best I’ve used for live and recorded facial motion capture. I’m a blender user and I swear by it. Should be part of any 3D artists toolkit 🔥 Support was great too developer responded very quickly when I contacted them. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, great results! *2022-12-01* While producing a 3d animated comedy, we use this fantastic app in a variety of ways with excellent results. Our voiceover artists capture their facial performance while they record their audio, providing accurate lip sync. We then record the facial expressions of our mocap artists, giving us synchronized expressions and eye movements. The app is simple to use and produces usable, reliable files that are easy to manage both locally and even working with non technical creatives in remote locations. ### 5/5 — Feedback from a client from Russia *2022-11-10, version 1.99* Столкнулся с проблемой, что на новом айфоне не мог восстановить покупку. В течение пары дней помогли поэтапно разобраться в проблеме и, когда проблему не получилось решить, прислали подарочный код, который я смог активировать. Спасибо! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-10-29, version 1.99* Just totally worth the price. Love it. Hopefully we get more updates specially for mouth/lips tracking ### 5/5 — Exceptional! *2022-07-22* I use this app to import captures into Blender and it works great! I recently had an issue where my face wasn’t being recognized and contacted the app’s support and was given a tip within a day that helped me resolve the issue. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
