### 3/5 — Records only one second???

*2023-10-21*

Help! I’ve tried a couple of casual recordings of myself just this morning after being granted access on the waitlist.
It seems to only translate simply one second of recording for the 20 seconds I recorded. I’m confused now. Perhaps 🤔 anyone experience the same problem???

### 2/5 — Cool concept, terrible execution

*2023-10-13*

I’ve been on “the waiting list” for over a week. 

Imagine being in another country, lost, needing help…. Well just you hold on.  This app can solve all your problems is 10-12 weeks.  🙄

### 4/5 — Video

*2023-10-12*

It doesn’t preserve original video visual appearance. It changes the contrast and saturation and lowers the quality. Should he fixed soon! Thanks

### 5/5 — Best app

*2023-10-11*

Honestly better than Duolingo

### 5/5 — Super happy

*2023-10-11*

Wow can't believe this is awesome. I have friends in other countries and they were surprised .and they were able to understand me

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-10-11*

Takes a lot to translate, doesn’t look real and it’s just dumb. I hate it.

### 3/5 — IM THE FRIST ONE

*2023-10-11*

IM GHE FIRST ONEE!!!

### 1/5 — Couldn’t connect to servers

*2023-10-11*

I opened the app and it’s literally unusable because it wouldn’t connect to servers 😡😡😡

### 4/5 — Pretty alr

*2023-10-11*

it’s really cool to think about ai can do 😭

### 4/5 — Cool

*2023-10-11*

It’s a cool app, doesn’t take long at all for translation. Although I thought the baby voice would make your voice cuter not a bunch of gibberish.

### 1/5 — No thank you.

*2023-11-29*

It doesn’t let you create an account to sign up with, instead it just give you 2 options, or you use your Google account or your Apple account, no thank you! I’m already gambling with my personal information on using apple and google, why I will give it to another party?
The day you allow me to create an account that is not linked up to my personal email account because you demand it, that day and only that day I will use your app.

### 1/5 — Not there yet!

*2023-11-14*

The first thing I noticed is that when I record a video in English, it adds/retains my American accent to the other languages. For example, my French pronunciation sounds very midwesterner and not at all Parisian. Moreover, on some of the results, I sounded French Canadian. A simple test of counting in Persian from 1-5 got the number three wrong! The pronunciation sounds like Urdu, or Pashtun and definitely not modern Tehrani Persian - where did you source the language? Dutch, takes the “KH” sound and makes it “SH”…

### 1/5 — Long wait and doesn’t work

*2023-10-21*

You get out on a week to two week waiting list and once you get notified that it’s ready, the app doesn’t work. It tells you that there’s a server issue and never works. This is the weirdest app I’ve ever tried using. I’ve never had to get out on a waiting list. 😒

### 1/5 — Not practical in the school setting

*2023-10-16*

This app is slow to translate and cannot be used for any real applications within the professional setting. It took over two minutes to translate into Spanish. It is easier to use Google translate and mess up the translation rather than wait endlessly on this app.

### 1/5 — Unable to register with another email address

*2023-10-13*

I signed up for this app, was put on the waiting list, and finally got to download the app. I unfortunately used the wrong email address to register with the app and as can result, I was put on a NEW waiting list. 

How can I de-register and register again with the correct email address?

### 1/5 — Freezes when it opens

*2023-10-12*

Now that this app is been going for a couple days, I went to open it, and it freezes in the opening screen.… I think anyway, it doesn’t go past the first screen.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-10-12*

Absolutely ridiculous.   The translate is wrong.  The voice over isn’t even close. And the “AI” is so off it’s ridiculous.    Deleting and sticking with Duolingo to actually learn the language

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2023-10-12*

When i try to sign into this app, it just keeps loading and i cannot get access to the actual app.

### 1/5 — It’s okay

*2023-10-11*

I waited so long just to have to wait AGAIN TO USE IT 5,016 THATS MY NUMBER AND HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE INFRONT OF ME REALLY WHY IS IS THAT? 
Horrible I don’t understand why people think that this is a good I idea to make us wait again lol!?!?😐

### 5/5 — Works miles better than the AI app from Koi apps!

*2024-11-04*

When I first had a go at it, the generation Z slang flowed from the app into my ears! What’s up with these people giving this one star rating? Even so, I have sympathetic pity for those people that did the rating…

### 5/5 — Absolutely phenomenal- revolutionary game changer

*2024-09-28*

This app really delivers on its promises- translates your video into another language seamlessly, with your voice into another accent and language. Fabulous! Thanks, Lipdub!

### 5/5 — Accurate voice and lip dubbing

*2024-01-26*

It was amazing seeing myself speak a foreign language. It even sounds like my own voice as well .

### 5/5 — The future is here

*2023-11-01*

A friend posted a video of him speaking in Japanese and I didn't understand what I was watching. It sounded exactly like him and his lips were moving too, but he doesn't speak Japanese. Found out that it was lipdub and can't believe this technology exists or that this app is free. Insane!

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing! The real deal!

*2023-10-27*

I rarely leave five star reviews, but this app completely deserves it. Lip-syncing and AI mouth motions are extremely realistic and some of the best I’ve seen. Processing time is only a minute or so for a 15-second clip, which is impressive. I have found that it translates really well on the first take but you can also regenerate translations in case you weren’t happy with previous attempts. The gen-z and baby translations are absolutely hilarious. I’m so happy with this app and plan on using it on a regular basis.

### 5/5 — tried the Tagalog option

*2023-10-13*

I tried the Tagalog option and checked it with my mom and she said it was saying something about bananas and a girl friend which was funnier than the thing I was actually saying. Good app

### 5/5 — Amazing! Really fun!

*2023-10-12*

This is not useful only for serious stuff, as it is super funny to see you speaking fluently other languages. 
One awesome thing is that you can speak your native language instead of English only! 
Of course it is still on its early stages but this is a very good impression of the near future!

### 5/5 — Amazing app! Does what it says it does!

*2023-10-12*

I downloaded it because an ad seemed cool, and I believed it wasn’t going to work well, and to my surprise, it works very well! I like to see there are constant updates!

### 5/5 — Superb

*2023-10-12*

Awesome fun app!!! You should make audio (voice notes) avaliable. Not always you wanna record a video..

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2023-10-12*

Me and my cousin speak French with one another. She’s fluent and I am not so this app helps a lot when I can’t think of proper translations
