### 4/5 — Vídeos curts i sencills

*2020-10-06*

Ideal per fer vídeos per l’alumnat de primaria ràpidament. L’utiltzo per crear personatges i transmetre enunciats o crear el fil conductor d’una activitat.

### 3/5 — Oui mais

*2020-03-23*

Ne fonctionne pas terrible sur ios 13.3 et avec iPhone 11 pro max, se fige après prise de photo, les vidéos fonctionne 1 fois sur 3 et plante l’application, en mode cinéma : écran noir juste le son, dommage impossible de modifier la taille de la tête qui sort de l’écran je pense qu’après une bonne mise à jour on aura une bonne application

### 4/5 — Muy funcional pero

*2019-12-07*

Es genial, muy funcional. Pero no funciona el micro.

### 3/5 — Super mais...

*2019-04-08*

Suite à mon précédent msg, j’ai un iPhone5S

**Developer response:** Quel est le modèle de votre téléphone? Vous pouvez aussi nous envoyer un mail à contact@spooklight.ch

### 4/5 — Remarque

*2019-03-07*

L’application est super mais niveau vêtements ils n’as vraiment pas des habits de jeunes par exemple des pulls , des vestes , des joggings et des shoes aussi . Merci pour votre compréhension

**Developer response:** Thanks! We’ll improve on this!

### 5/5 — Como

*2018-12-18*

Como se toma el video

### 2/5 — What?!

*2018-11-28, version 2.23.0*

It keeps giving me a red screen saying system failure and it barely keep up with lip sync

### 3/5 — Love it, but the oversized Watermark is Not Removable

*2018-11-06*

I love this app, unfortunately you get an oversized KOUJI logo in the bottom left of the screen of the final video, and there is no way to remove it. 
I figured this would be an in app purchase, but far failed. 
Give us a way to remove the watermark, as an in app purchase and you got yourself 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Great idea! We’re going to figure out something! Thanks a lot for the feedback.

### 5/5 — Super app

*2018-10-12*

Je ne peux que vous conseiller cette app très marrante. C’est l’avenir

### 4/5 — Kouji is the best

*2018-10-06*

Question 
1.What gave you the idea ?
2.How did you get this technology basest?
3.When did you think of the game?

How I thought of it
I think that it is a really cool app 😎and that you have put a lot of effort into it and done a really good job at it 👍🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻. I hope you put updates in the game.

From Mr Nonex YouTube

**Developer response:** Hey!
1. Our studio is focused on Spatial Computing (e.g Hololens, Magic Leap, etc) and we wanted to imagine what messaging would be tomorrow when you wear mixed reality glasses and have no front facing camera like on a smartphone.
2. What? 
3. A year and a half or something like that!

Thanks for the love! Updates will keep coming 😄

### 2/5 — CRASHES

*2018-09-30, version 2.21.0*

It keeps telling me my memory is low so I can’t do any videos 😢😢😢
It keeps crashing

### 5/5 — My baby

*2018-09-03*

I love it it’s so cute and I keep calling it my own baby 😘😘

**Developer response:** Thanks for love! ❤️

### 2/5 — Meh

*2018-08-26*

I mean it’s ok... it’s kind of a Bitmoji rip off, which is a lot better by the way. It hasn’t got as many options and doesn’t connect with Snapchat 🤷‍♀️ meh

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! If you mean that Kouji is based on 3D avatar like Bitmoji, sure I guess that makes us a rip-off. But if you stop there you miss a lot of what we’ve done such as lip sync, meKouji, background mode or simply the ability to choose from a huge catalogue of scenes instead of being restricted to few cartoons a day. Finally, I’d love too if Snapchat would open their platform so we can let users publish directly on their story but as of today the only way to do so is to save in your camera roll a Kouji, go in snap and import a video from there; it’s a bummer but that the only thing they allow... ❤️

### 4/5 — Cool app..

*2018-08-10*

I like the app, not a fan of the calibration requirement. Prior to this requirement, I could move from place to place and my avatar was still on screen. 
Now you have to locate a flat surface and tap the green dots to see your avatar, as long as there is enough light.

Maybe add a fixed background that is all black with options to change colors as a way to bypass the annoying calibration.     
 
Thank you for your time

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We have planned to fix that in a couple of weeks by using ARKit features points instead of ARKit plan detection. 
EDITED: We have custom backgrounds, where you can import any photo, coming in the next version.

### 5/5 — ?

*2018-08-05, version 2.17.0*

How do I get the AR filter

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-08-05*

I really love the app the only complain is that if I want to use to of my avatars on the screen I can not but it really like it besides that me and my brother laugh all day

**Developer response:** Hi puppies! 
Just to be sure, what you want is to use all your avatars together? Is that correct?

### 1/5 — Ерунда полная!!!!!!!!

*2019-02-08*

Во первых на айфоне 5s не работает видео во вторых маленький выбор причесок и в третих я только зря свой интернет тратил на это приложение!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Supprimé au bout de 5 minutes

*2018-08-01*

Nul

**Developer response:** 😭

### 1/5 — Problème de personnage

*2018-08-01*

Je n’arrive pas à faire bouger mon personnage. Je trouve ça très compliqué.

**Developer response:** Désolé d'entendre ça!!! On fait au mieux pour améliorer l'expérience de Kouji et la rendre la plus simple possible. 
Si vous n'arrivez pas à déplacer votre Kouji c'est que peut-être il n'est pas positionné dans l'environnement. Pour cela il faut déplacer doucement son téléphone en regardant vers le sol, jusqu'à ce que les petits carrés verts apparaissent sur les surfaces reconnues. Ensuite vous pouvez cliquer sur ces carrés pour le positionner et le déplacer!
J'espère que ça résoudra votre soucis! ❤️

### 5/5 — Hello

*2021-12-10*

Cooool!

### 5/5 — Needs more actions

*2021-01-17, version 2.25.0*

This app is awesome! But I think it needs more actions like running, dancing, driving, talking to each other, screaming, walking and singing. But I love this app overall!

### 5/5 — Крутое приложение 👍👍👍

*2020-06-16*

Крутое приложение, но хотелось бы чтобы почаще были обновления 😁👍👍

### 5/5 — Excelente! Me encanta, pero...

*2020-04-24*

Podrían agregarle la opción que quitar la marca de agua?
Y una app adaptada al iPad también.

### 5/5 — Muy chuli

*2020-04-12*

Se me quedan cortos los vídeos, querría que fuesen más largos.

### 5/5 — Bien genial pero...

*2019-06-21*

Esta genial la aplicación pero tal vez sería más padre si tuviera más acciones y que cada año haya una actualización para que sea súper padre. Todo lo demás se describe con una solo palabra PERFECTO 🤗

### 5/5 — Best app ever! 🤩

*2019-03-01*

Everyone in my family should install this!
