I had the Santa and reindeer going across the moon, and it stops halfway across the moon. I’m sad I paid for this app!!!!! If you like still pictures, there are some neat ones available, but this does not have continuous movement like the standard Apple Watch does. ### 3/5 — Good so far *2018-12-12, version 1.3* I like the variety of pictures, right now I have a Winter theme....but I wish I could download all the pictures I like to my watch app on my phone so I could go straight there when changing the pic on my watch instead of having to go back through them every time. ### 4/5 — Great, easy app but needs updates! *2017-12-04, version 1.3* Great choices of live images and wallpaper for your watch with new choices each month and with the seasons. I always choose the wallpaper calendar images however it is December and I only see choices for an October calendar. This is frustrating! ### 4/5 — Nice *2017-09-10, version 1.3* Down load on live wallpaper is slow so I haven't been able to apply any to my watch yet. I love the still faces too so I'm ok for now. Apply the new fave seemed hard at first but now that I've done it a few times it's pretty simple. ### 4/5 — 3 second live wallpaper *2017-05-26, version 1.3* I really like this app but the live wallpaper is literally 2-3 seconds. Wish it was at least 10-15 seconds. I tried to show it to a friend and by the time I turn my wrist it stops. The app needs help. This is why I give it a 4 star. Please work on it...... ### 4/5 — LOVE! Compatible for Series 1 & 2 Apple watch *2017-04-02, version 1.3* I love this app! Purchased when I got my first Apple watch about a year 1/2 ago, literally used it daily to changed my watch faces to match my outfits! So excited it is compatible with my new series 2 Apple watch as well!! Only suggestion is to add a search capability for themes/faces. ### 2/5 — Nothing special really *2017-03-24, version 1.3* It's expensive and doesn't do a lot. I thought the march sacred would be more than just a picture. I can take, screenshot, or download pictures just as easily as this app. I also didn't realize the keyboard overlays were just another keyboard... ### 3/5 — Nice start! *2016-09-08, version 1.3* I like this app. There is a need for a more personal experience with Apple Watch and I found several faces I like here. That said, it doesn't work in certain situations. Hope they update with glitch fixes as they go along, as they are one of the first in this category. Keep working on it! 💗 ### 3/5 — Live Wallpapers run short *2016-07-25, version 1.3* I like this idea, and the Live Wallpapers are very neat. However, they run much shorter than the actual clip is. For e.g. when I tap and hold on the photo (in the iPhone OR Watch Photos app), the clip runs about 3s. When my watch wakes up, the clip runs about .5s, somewhat anticlimatic. The out-of-they-box wallpapers (like the butterfly or jelllyfish) run much longer when the watch wakes up. ### 2/5 — Good idea but....... *2016-06-26, version 1.3* You have to make this your photo album to sync to your watch. As you can only sync 1 album your personal pictures will not be able to sync. Maybe not the fault of the app maker. But a big negative for me. First app that I don't feel was worth the money. ### 3/5 — Good Idea, Needs More Work *2016-05-10, version 1.3* I agree with some folks this is great, only because it is entering new territory. I will also agree with other folks it’s not so great because it is not very intuitive. With simple apps like these people expect to just get to the point and get the job done. Not so easy here. I feel this app has that potential only in the future as it evolves and the developer reads this kind of feedback. I like it. I think it has potential…..Just not so easy to use for the most people. My advice is to give it a try (especially at $0.99), and provide useful feedback to the developers. Good Start! ### 5/5 — Great but poor instructions! *2016-05-07, version 1.3* Here is what you really need to know. You pick the graphic you like on the phone app and push the down arrow to sync it to your watch. Next you use the photo app to view it on watch and tap it to get option to make watch face. Each time you sync a photo you'll delete the old one but the watch faces you previously created will still be there. Enjoy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-05-30, version 1.3* Even if this app was free, it wouldn’t be worth the download. The live motion faces won’t even load to display. Just showing the spinning clock hand. So, the all doesn’t show any live wallpapers at all. The wallpaper pictures are cute but not worth the price when you can screenshot or take a picture of any image you like and use that as your watch face. Also, there are no themes so I spent $1.99 on pictures that I’ll never even use. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-12-01, version 1.3* This app takes a long time to download the previews, aka “Live” wallpaper. Downloads don’t work have only been able to download 1 file in days. Usually, it just spins at 20% most of the time. I’d say that this app gives other watch face apps a bad reputation but I have yet to find a watch face app that earns a good reputation. I regret buying this app. ### 1/5 — This app does not work!! Rip off!! *2018-06-07, version 1.3* When I open your app iFaces all that comes up is a blank white screen. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times with the same results. One time I got the “Allow Notifications” screen then it shut down. It does NOT work. Please let me know what you can do to remedy this situation. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Worst App I've Ever Purchased *2016-10-15, version 1.3* The live watch faces last like a second granted that you're even able to download them. I told me "Oops Can't Download" for like day and when I tried to download the next day, the prompt asked me if I wanted to delete the photo. I hit Don't Allow and kept trying to hit download but it kept asking if I wanted to delete. Finally I clicked Delete to see what would happen and it tells me Photo Successfully Saved... The whole app is super glitchy and very difficult to use. Worst 1.99 I ever spent. ### 1/5 — Terrible App!! *2016-04-30, version 1.3* The app is very poorly designed. You have to download multiple backgrounds at a time instead of them giving you the ONE you want. If there is a way to add the emojis, I haven't figured it out yet. In the picture it shows that you have to type them on the phone in the Watch App. As far as I can tell you can't even edit the watch face in the Watch App. ### 1/5 — Poor poor design *2016-02-20, version 1.3* Complicated to use, good selection of gif action images to choose from but they are terribly implemented. The movement only lasts about a second and then stalls to rest for a second so it just looks glitchy on your watch. They could have a least done a reverse action loop so the motion just didn't stall every second and then take another second reset. Could have been a cool app, but just not properly implemented. A couple of rather simple functionality changes would have made a huge difference in this app and it quality and usability. Disappointed. 😒 ### 1/5 — Do NOT like this app *2016-02-18, version 1.3* The app does not work much on my iPhone 5s. Yes, I have iOS 9.2. Although there are several categories of static wallpaper to use, each only offers a few choices, none very desirable. I mean the cities options offer Moscow and Cairo, but not Chicago? Also, I am unable to set up the live background AT ALL. It says "error complited", misspelling and all. Def NOT worth paying for. ### 2/5 — Skip this one, hasn't been updated in 6 years. *2022-11-05, version 1.3* I installed it, since it looked so promising; however, upon launching it, I saw nothing but a blank watch outline with the spinning graphic. I waited for about 3 minutes and decided to delete it. Especially after noticing that the developer hasn't updated it since 2006. Disappointed. ### 2/5 — Needs smplification *2021-03-31, version 1.3* I love how you search for the faces. Very different. I don’t like all the steps. I get lost trying to get the face I chose. I still can’t find it. I have a face app that allows me to choose a face and “add to watch” then a window opens for me to choose either kaleidoscope or actual face then it’s magically there. Please simplify as I would love to support your efforts. ### 2/5 — Time and calendar Face *2019-10-27, version 1.3* Simple and straightforward great for watch face but graphics designs not impressive. Really though all I wanted was the time and calendar face but apparently it is no longer available. I have the new 11Pro Max and this app took a long time to download. I’m going to delete it cause taking up too much space for what its worth and they do not have the calendar faces any more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it *2020-12-15, version 1.3* Spent time looking for a faces app that allows for free download of watch faces. This and BuddyWatch are the few I came across. The process to customize isn’t hard ### 5/5 — ??? *2019-01-06, version 1.3* Every time I hit the down arrow it ask me if I want to delete. It doesn’t give me the option to download. So I can’t figure out how to even use. What a waste of $1.99. ### 5/5 — Worked Perfect after Realizing Directions weren’t accurate *2018-08-13, version 1.3* I really got to love this app after I figured out how to use it!! Please bring it back to the App Store. I was able to select a picture and upload it to my watch using my own method and steps. I had lots of colorful animations on my Apple Watch afterwards! It is definitely the best app out there for Apple Watch Faces!! ### 5/5 — Finally *2017-08-24, version 1.3* This is exactly what I was looking for! I wanted more Watch face options with movement and this app gave them to me! Just hope there are fall ones. I have seen winter ones. Super happy with it so far!! ### 5/5 — Love It *2017-07-06, version 1.3* It is a little unclear how to use this, but after playing with it a few minutes I have an assortment of hot air balloons that shuffle. There are so many pictures to choose from. Great variety. ### 5/5 — Love the animated faces! *2017-05-10, version 1.3* Lots of options which are easy to set up. You can also set custom emoji watch complications to add to pre existing faces. I will make sure to recommend to my friends! ### 5/5 — I like the little app. *2017-03-07, version 1.3* This a fun little app. I like the movement I faces so far. There so many generic movement faces to choose from but I like the themed ones like for holidays and seasons. They fit my moods and give you that holiday spirt. I'm not to crazy about the ocean ones. The movement is to fast, slow them down just a little and they will be great! I have noticed several new faces showing up and I appreciate that. Im always looking for something different. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2017-02-09, version 1.3* I love this app and the various pics for each month. I just wish 2 things. 1. That you can download more than one pic. 2. That it would change screens randomly between the extra pics downloaded. That would really make this app fabulous!! ### 5/5 — Awesome you must get this *2016-11-11, version 1.3* It make your Apple Watch look so great and with all the updates to come you will have so many to pick from. ### 5/5 — iFaces for the Apple Watch *2016-08-07, version 1.3* I💙this awesome app! The pictures are awesome and that is why I'm giving this app a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating! My advice would be to make the instructions a lot easier to understand.
