### 2/5 — Great potential but unfortunate

*2025-04-22*

I tested out the functionality of the app and it worked great for my use case. I paid the one time 8$ subscription fee. Unfortunately the export option does not work. I emailed support and no reply. You can’t use the app for anything if you can’t export. Great potential but disappointing end result.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-05-11*

This app does not do as it is intended. Asking Apple for a refund for this fraudulent app.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-12-16, version 1.70*

The app is fake scam
More money in the drain 
Good job Apple

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2022-05-25*

No instruction. Download bellus app instead

### 5/5 — I’m interested to work with you if that is possible

### 3/5 — Not happy with the iOS 15 update.

*2022-03-24*

The update was not retroactive and now I am stuck on an older version of the app cause I don’t want to download iOS 15. 

Nothing this app does couldn’t be done with iOS 12-13 so why force us into iOS 15? It makes no sense. 

I understand the need to requiere a specific iOS for specific functionality to be available, but it’s a TERRIBLE idea to ask from most of us to use the LATEST iOS especially when it is really not even “utilized”. 

I personally am one of those people who don’t want to update their phones EVER as I am fully aware of how slow they become after an update or two. I’d rather just wait till I buy a new one to “upgrade OS”.

However, since this is no valid excuse as it’s just my opinion, let me say too, that I see literally NO reason why this app would require iOS 15;

 While I can probably keep using the “outdated version”, it leaves MUCH to be desired as it’s partially an unfinished product that I paid for EXPECTING it to become better. I do not see the “improvements” that required the iOS update listed anywhere and I doubt there’s anything big, really the app is old enough to NOT need “new OS functionality”.

Unless there’s a killer feature somewhere that I am not aware of that requires iOS 15, I would strongly encourage the dev to roll back support for previous iOS versions. No need to lock us out of updates when the app is literally the same thing it was a year ago back when it still supported older OS versions.

These apps (this, but mostly face cap) are not cheap apps, PLEASE do not “upgrade” face cap to iOS 15. I want to receive updates that do not require me to ruin my phone’s performance in the process.

Thank you for the consideration.

### 5/5 — Exellent work and support

*2020-11-09*

Works flawlessly, had some issues on my own, but developer generously helped resolving it. Getting superb support beside product you paid for is something that rises those kind companies above others.

### 1/5 — Requires $36 payment to export mesh

*2020-10-18*

Advertised feature is crazy expensive. Make it a paid app

**Developer response:** The app is a single purchase to unlock exporting permanently.

### 2/5 — Export trial? Recording?

*2019-09-27*

How can one test the export before buying?
Is there a way to make a recording with textures? A bit like the other app but the other app lacks texturing

**Developer response:** The website provides some samples of the exported data.
