Avoid

Not only do they charge you for this app they also kindly offer you the chance to buy the video is creates. It took over 12hrs to edit the video so I gave up and have asked for a refund. Waste of my time.

Response from developer

Hi, videos created with Facestar do not need to be purchased. You can buy the original movie on the apple store, but it is not mandatory. All videos created within the app have no additional cost. Happy Holidays

Horrible AVOID

Literally a picture no morphing, avoid like the PLAGUE!

DO. NOT. BUY..

Amazed Apple is letting this disaster of an app stay on his store, nothing works, very limited the entire thing is a mess. I should’ve known better

Waste of Money

The idea is great, the execution is very amateur.
Not realistic at all.
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY !

Response from developer

Hi, you must use frontal images, as in identity documents. Images with good lighting and definition, without dark shadows on the face. Do not use filters, lights and colors are managed by the app. Good day!

App

Vraiment médiocre on ne voit meme pas notre visage

Response from developer

Salut, pour un meilleur résultat, vous devez utiliser une photo parfaitement recto (comme un document). Sans ombres trop nettes. Sans filtres. Une fois le clip sélectionné, cliquez sur le bouton circulaire sous le mot "Act the movie". Si vous avez besoin de plus d'informations, écrivez-nous sur info@facestarapp.com

Disappointed

The graphics are just not there to make it look even funny believable. Basically just post your face with no movement on a live movie scene. Disappointing but you should expect that. They also want you to buy the movies for some reason. Going to delete the app now.

Response from developer

Hi, we're sorry you didn't like the result. To make the clip better you have to use photos without too hard shadows, front like a document photo. It is not compulsory to buy any films. We only give the opportunity for those who want to buy the original film.

Wish there was a Movie search feature

It is hard to tell which movies are which on the bar below. I’d there a way to search through a list of movie titles?

Response from developer

Hi, you are right, we need to improve this aspect. Thank you for your suggestion

Drop the watermark and end ad!!!!

Once you pay for this app the watermark should be removed from all your downloaded videos along with the “facestar” shot at the end of your downloaded video!

More options

There’s so many male options and only a few female options.

Response from developer

Hi, it's true, there are fewer female videos ... but, users make the app with your requests (the "suggest your favorite movie" inside the app) ... we will try to add more female titles .

Videos stuck in “editing”

Had a go of this before with the kids, I made 3 videos and every one of them are stuck in “editing” I can’t view them and my only option is to delete them. This has been over an hour since I made them so surely they can’t need more time?

Response from developer

There was a problem with Amazon's servers, not an app problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. The app works.

Does what it says

The description of the app is accurate and it generally does what it says. It doesn’t however do the facial conversion particularly well and to download the videos you have to use iTunes? There are better options out there.

Response from developer

You don't have to use iTunes to download videos. You're getting confused with buying the original movie on iTunes. FaceStar has no additional costs and you can download your videos by clicking on the share button... you will see the save video button. You must use frontal images, as in identity documents. Images with good lighting and definition, without dark shadows on the face. Do not use filters, lights and colors are managed by the app. If you go to Instagram #facestar #faceoscar you will be able to see the clips posted by users from all over the world.

I have my annoyances with it

So, it’s a good price and good app. I would give it 5 star

EXCEPT it doesn’t blend faces at all well to the clips. Like no matter how bright I take the pictures there’s always a dark like around where it’s added my face on making it look really bad.

Also... the camera face shape is impossible to line up with my face as I don’t have ears that high up my head.

Suggestions: It needs a feature to blend the face onto the video so it’s not so obvious it’s masked on because it makes it look really cheap and not much different from a free program online (which I won’t mention as it’s also got the same problem)

So awful

Please save yourself a few bucks and don’t get this app... limited amount of scenes and a low resolution face swap.

Adding to my review after the developer response.

I should have been more specific. There are limited scenes involving women and people of color. It would be nice to see scenes that fit different skin tones. If you’re a male with fair skin then there are options for you, but there are little to no scenes for people with darker skin tones.

Response from developer

Limited amount of scenes? Dozens and dozens of videos are available ... updated (at no additional cost) according to the requests of you users. You must use frontal images, as in identity documents. Images with good lighting and definition, without dark shadows on the face. Do not use filters, lights and colors are managed by the app. If you go to Instagram #facestar #faceoscar you will be able to see the clips posted by users from all over the world.

Really funny.

Really enjoying the app, good bit of fun and easy to use.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the review. We remind you that you can suggest your favorite titles with the "Suggest Your Favorite Movie" inside the app. Most requested will be added to the list.

For the love of god please can I get a refund?

No really... can a please?

Response from developer

Why do you write this? What's the problem?

Face Error

I’ve yet to be able to put together a clip because it keeps saying face error... I’ve taken the pics according to the line but still....

Facestar

Terrible waste of time and money shouldn’t be allowed to continue. Video too small and everyone looks the same. It’s like they took one male face and used it for every video. Didn’t look like me at all.

The best app on my phone

I love this app for many reasons most definitely keeps me laughing and having fun throughout this stay home quarantine thing

Doesn’t work

I literally cannot get this to work. Clips just continually cycle on loading. I’ve never seen one yet. No I am not getting it confused. The clips just continually show downloading status. This still isn’t working! I’ve tried everything you have suggested. Looking at other reviews it’s the same for everyone else. I want a refund as you have taken my money and provided zero service in exchange

Response from developer

Hi, sorry for the problem. If you want to try again to uninstall and reinstall the application. (without paying of course) If it still doesn't work, ask Apple for a refund. Sorry for the inconvenience

Not good

Really really bad. I tried for 10 min nothing works. Refund ASAP

Response from developer

Hi, sorry but unfortunately for excessive traffic problems due also to the quarantine period, the network and the servers have moments of overload that do not depend on us. We have restored everything and now the editing is done correctly. Sorry if in some moments you will see slowdowns. Thanks for understanding.
