The one issue it that the only way to save your character is by taking a picture of it in the app and when you do that it only saves to your photos.So a suggestion I have for the makers is to add a gallery IN THE APP to see all the characters you made. Also along with this Idea I would like to have a feature where you can name you’re characters. But otherwise 100% recommend if you like creating digital characters. ### 4/5 — restore purchases! *2025-04-09, version 2.31* would loooove to restore my purchase so i don’t have to spend more money years later ### 2/5 — It’s good! But… *2025-02-09, version 2.31* I love this game! But when I try to get stars it says I have no connection when I have full bars, and I have deleted and reinstalled the app but it seems to always say the same thing! This is also for the male version of the game… please, fix this!! ### 4/5 — Where is the star? *2024-11-12, version 2.31* Tôi nạp tiền vào rồi nhưng vẫn không thấy ngôi sao nào đc trả để tôi mua sắm đồ trong game, tiền cũng không thấy đi đâu về đâu?? ### 4/5 — Love but there’s a problem *2024-09-17, version 2.31* There is one thing that I don’t like about this app.i don’t like the fact that you can never earn stars to get stuff because it always says is there connection.can yall please fix that. I am a new user but i still want that fixed ### 2/5 — Maybe a bug? *2024-08-26, version 2.31* I’ve been having the problem for a while where if I try and watch a add to get more tokens it doesn’t wanna work it just tells me there’s connection issues every single time, it’s really unfair and annoying ### 4/5 — Love it, but needs some work *2024-08-08, version 2.31* So I love making characters digitally and this app is really great for that.It has a lot of variety and it is very simple to use and understand. The one issue it that the only way to save your character is by taking a picture of it in the app and when you do that it only saves to your photos.So a suggestion I have for the makers is to add a gallery IN THE APP to see all the characters you made.

So I was making my first avatar but I was finishing it so I went to the hands part AND I SAW THE Most RUDE THING IN My INNER LIFE I SAW THE MIDDLE FiNGER I thought it was for nine year olds but no I think for your next up date you should get rid of it Because it’s inappropriate for younger people ### 3/5 — Why *2024-05-29, version 2.31* Why is the guy one free but not the girl one ### 4/5 — FIX THIS *2024-05-03, version 2.31* It will not let me watch a video so that I can get Stars you need to fix this bc I’m not paying for stars ### 4/5 — good *2024-04-06, version 2.31* I love this game so much but when ever I try to get stars it says no connection when there is connection ### 4/5 — Concern *2024-03-17, version 2.31* Hello, I love this app and I have had it for a long time now. My concern is that one of the hand options I a hand sticking up the middle finger at the person looking at the screen. I hate this one feature. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remove it. I am catholic and I hate that kind of abuse or swear. All I am asking is that you remove it. Thank you. ### 4/5 — The crazy thing *2024-02-13, version 2.31* I love the game I love its creativity but I don’t really know how to get stars ### 4/5 — Nice but….. *2024-01-13, version 2.31* The game is amazing, I highly recommend but there could be a few bug fixes and more outfits and face shapes. Otherwise this game is amazing, will definitely recommend to everyone ### 4/5 — great game just one thing *2023-11-30, version 2.31* this is great app and all, but there’s just one tiny little thing that ticks me off about the star system ( where you have to get stars to buy stuff ) which is when you have to pay for stars or WATCH AN AD ( i’m about tell you why i upper-cased the “ watch an ad” ). the problem with watching an ad is whenever i click watch an ad it always say “ no connection “. trust me when i say this, i’ve tried everything and it never works. other than that it’s an amazing app and i would recommend it to anyone. ### 3/5 — Good but… *2023-07-04, version 2.31* The app is pretty good but when I tried to purchase stars it took my money and didn’t give me any stars ### 4/5 — Bug *2023-06-28* J’aime beaucoup cette application que je trouve super, le choix des coiffures et autres sont nombreux. Néanmoins un bug nous empêche d’accéder au pub pour gagner des étoiles et ainsi avoir de nouvelles fonctionnalités. C’est bien dommage ### 4/5 — Great game except one little detail. *2023-06-16, version 2.31* I love this game because it’s not some ordinary, crappy character creator, it actually has real facial expressions and it’s fricking AI! But the one litte detail I mentioned in the title is that one of the hand options is the middle finger, so I would not recommend this for a young child to play. I think you should change the rating to 12+ instead of 9+, and that is my only suggestion. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bye not the pink tax *2026-07-05, version 2.31* The concept of needing stars for this but not needing it in the male version of the game is lowkey odd idk 👀👀 ### 1/5 — Fraudulent *2025-12-29, version 2.31* I made an in app purchase to get more stars and I never received the stars. This is my first time buying from the app after many years of using this app. Don’t make any in app purchases because getting what you paid for isn’t guaranteed. ### 1/5 — No way to earn stars *2024-12-27, version 2.31* I used to really love this app, but now there is no way for you to earn stars. Every time I go to watch a video to earn stars, it says that there is no connection. And I’ve heard other users say that they purchased stars, but they didn’t show up. I am not risking purchasing any, so I haven’t experienced this myself, but I know that you used to be able to watch videos to earn free stars. A pretty sucky app if half the stuff is locked with no way to unlock it. ### 1/5 — Purchases don’t go through *2024-03-15, version 2.31* It doesn’t matter how beautiful your app is if it’s literally just stealing people’s money. This isn’t the only review claiming this either. ### 1/5 — Would love to play, but it keeps putting me back on the home screen. *2023-07-07, version 2.31* This game looks so fun, but I can't play it. I'll finish an avatar and go to save it, but it just kicks me off and my portrait was not saved, so I have to start all over and go through the same process. I have the male version and it works great, but I can't get this one to work. It's a shame, because it's a really fun game. Please fix this so I can use the app! One star because it is very frustrating that my portraits are not saved. ### 1/5 — mất tiền oan *2023-03-14, version 2.31* nãy tôi nạp 25k vô đây và lúc sau ko thấy star vô ko thấy phản hồi lại mất 25k oan r ### 1/5 — Bffr *2022-12-20, version 2.31* Spent a dollar and I didn’t get any stars?? ### 1/5 — Took money and gave me nothing *2022-11-18, version 2.31* So I paid five dollars to get some stars, cause the ads didn’t work and only found that it not only didn’t give me any stars but also took the five dollars. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Not getting my stars *2022-11-12, version 2.31* I’ve purchased both the 4.99 and the 2.99 packages in an attempt to unlock all the content, but none of my stars showed up, despite the payment going through. I’d like a refund or my stars as soon as possible ### 1/5 — Poor payment manament *2022-10-11, version 2.31* I had to pay twice because the first time it didn't count, when I paid the first time the star wasn't filled or empty, so I had to pay twice and even though it was written in my bank account that I had paid. In other words this app is swallowed my money. Go hire someone with skill so that the management is good and not like this, I feel very disadvantaged, just watch out I’ll share it on the internet ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — READ THIS *2026-05-25, version 2.31* Omg bro this game is AMAZING!!! Amazing graphics, amazing everything. Except, how do you get the star coins? Like, how exactly. I know one of the ways you get it is PAYING FOR IT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF TRYING but I wanna know the FREE way. I made portraits with are absolutely GORGEOUS but how do you get star coins? P.S: I only rq the f this 5 stars so you can see it. It’s really only a 4 star ### 5/5 — Beautiful unique style *2025-09-13, version 2.31* Just so simple and easy to use. Beautiful art + no annoying storyline added unlike all the recent games today ### 5/5 — no longer maintained, but great *2024-09-15, version 2.31* If you download this game, i would advise taking screenshots of your characters in case the app leaves for good. I’ve had this app for ages and i’ve never got bored of it. The art is brilliant and I’ve made loads of characters (and myself at three completely different points in my life). There’s lots of items you can get by watching adverts, but the adverts no longer work. You’ll have to make do with the non-adverted ones. ### 5/5 — So good *2024-07-27, version 2.31* I’m lazy so I won’t do lodes so but this is the best game ever I love it but we meet a coler pallet so we can save colours ### 5/5 — Just one thing *2024-05-06, version 2.31* The game it self is great but I wish you could put makeup on and like blend other than that it is 👍. ### 5/5 — Flexibility *2023-11-23, version 2.31* Hey!!! Love this app, and always use it for my novel characters. Do you think you could add more flexible options such allowing a 360 perspective of a character, ability to create a body, and allow 2/more characters to interact on the same screen? Thanks! ### 5/5 — 4+ years of gameplay- dev request *2023-05-10, version 2.31* First of all, this dress-up game is a blast. The art is awesome, the options are fun and attractive, and it’s very cool to be able to overlay certain options over others. If you want to unlock all the features, you can either watch ads for stars (game currency) or pay for stars. I’ve unlocked most of the game’s features, but one day I did an update and lost them all. There’s no cloud backup or record to see you’ve gained stars by watching ads, so I’m at a loss. My issue is that I’m giving the app ad time while playing, lost everything, but now the ads won’t even play. Dev Team: Please look into why the ad player is malfunctioning and why I lost my things! This is a great game. Please don’t let it go! ### 5/5 — Brought back so many memories <3 *2023-05-05, version 2.31* I used to play this all the time as a kid and I was and still am absolutely in love with Angela He’s art style. Is just so pretty and It has heavily influenced my art too! Recently I found a screenshot on my phone of an oc I made using this app and that made me want to play live portrait maker again, so that’s what I did lol. The fact that you can customise all the colours and features of your oc to your liking is great. Also, the quality of the art and the animation is better than any dress up game I’ve come across, which is really saying something as I've tried out basically every dress up game on the App Store haha >:) (I was obsessed with avatar makers as a kid since I wanted to make ocs but I couldn’t draw back then) Overall a brilliant app, I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2023-05-01, version 2.31* I love it ### 5/5 — Amazing download now you wont regret!✨ *2023-03-15, version 2.31* It’s just fab-im speechless --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
