### 3/5 — Amazing Butttttt.......

*2026-04-23, version 2.4.5*

It's a fun thing but I can only use the Manakins without the subscription.... Could you do that please?????

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-12-29, version 2.4.5*

It’s good for drawing as a reference but the way it works is weird and the in app purchases are annoying. Overall, good app

### 3/5 — Pls change the background

*2025-12-18, version 2.4.5*

I don’t like the dark background and moveing the characters from one place to another is hard

### 2/5 — No invert two fingers swipe?

*2025-12-01, version 2.4.5*

This is so disorienting the app is literally perfect but evertime i want to pan with two fingers it moves the opposite way. Please add an optiinnto invert the movment when panning with two fingers

### 2/5 — Oh wt heck

*2025-11-07, version 2.4.5*

You can't make animations and you have to pay for everything

### 2/5 — I need help….

*2025-08-23, version 2.4.4*

When I try and play it with my massive skill issue I can’t animate my OWN animations, always the premade animations. It is good tho if you are not me…

### 4/5 — amazing buy could use some work ⭐️⭐️👍🏻

*2025-07-13, version 2.4.4*

Very easy to use but it took me awhile to find the delete button to deleted the models after I’m done using them. Overall you get used to them after awhile. Wish the props were easier to use though.

### 3/5 — Ummmmmm

*2025-07-08, version 2.4.4*

I love the game but there are three things that are the same and two different things I just wanna unlock one, but it’s telling me I have to unlock it’s all but I still have fun🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂😕🙁☹️😩😫😖😖😖😖😖😖

### 3/5 — Would be perfect if export > .obj was available

*2025-06-30, version 2.4.4*

I’ve been looking for a good app to export low-detail characters to then sculpt in Zbrush/Nomad/Forger.  This app is great for reference (nothing too special compared to all the other 3d mannequin apps in the App store), but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to allow exporting 3D models - would be happy to pay for it if that was possible!

### 5/5 — Not a good app 😡😞😭😢

*2025-06-23, version 2.4.4*

I don’t know what price it is

### 5/5 — Omgggggg 🥹🥹🥹

*2025-06-18, version 2.4.4*

This is THE BEST APP EVER it’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun 🤩 I love it because  10: no ads! 9: you can try out poses and stuff 8: it’s no ads so you can do whatever you want on there without getting interrupted with ads that’s all I have for y’all☺️☺️☺️😅😅😅☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😊😊😊😊😊😊

### 5/5 — 🤩

*2025-06-17, version 2.4.4*

This game is the best but I think that it needs to have skin clothes and boy manakin

### 5/5 — Great buuuuuuuut..

*2025-06-10, version 2.4.4*

The first time i san this i was like ( this is fake) but when i tried it was awesome is so cool just One thing. I will like of the things seré free because i really want to make  a movie. Thats all i really like this game bye.

### 5/5 — SO GOOD I RECOMMEND

*2025-04-14, version 2.4.4*

i downloaded it hoping it wouldn’t charge me for a certain gender and IT DIDNT and also there’s literally like no adds. It’s super easy to use you just gotta understand it. It’s kinda tricky. I 100% recommend if you’re tryna get like references for poses and it works for two people or even more. SUCH A GOOD APP. THANK YOU!

### 5/5 — Unbelievably Useful!

*2025-04-11, version 2.4.4*

I can tell this was made by people who were passionate about the art of posing models. 
Immediately upon use it felt more natural to move the model when compared to every other app I’ve tried, the poses always come out looking comfortable and natural, it definitely helps I was experienced with anatomy beforehand but it really has helped make the poses look like I’m more breaking a limb or two.
The combination of editing axis’s to position limbs with a slider or just dragging them makes it very user friendly. 
My only complaint is based off a weird nitpick that only comes from me which is I prefer head model shapes that give me a better idea of how I position the head.
Overall the way I’m able to make poses look natural and comfortable has helped me on my journey to add to my characters personalities when I draw their poses, which as silly as it may sound, is exponentially more helpful than most other methods of making my characters feel individual. So thank you, for creating this wonderful app, and if others are just looking for reviews to find a good model posing app, just give this one a shot, 10/10.

### 5/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

*2025-04-04, version 2.4.4*

Can you Please add a project gallery with photo of thumbnails?

### 5/5 — Great buuuut…

*2025-04-03, version 2.4.4*

Ok so first of my list is there is no animals which is bad because I want to make a story of animals and they do a lot of things and well you get the point. And there is no setting to make back grounds (I’ve looked and couldn’t find it) and you should add Pokémon because I wanna make a movie of that too but you don’t have too. I really just want animals ok? Have a great day and have many blessings.

### 1/5 — Just what

*2026-03-21, version 2.4.5*

Basicly everything was money and there was no ANMAITE BUTTON

### 1/5 — boo

*2025-12-16, version 2.4.5*

When I was posing my figure it was going the other way right way

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-06, version 2.4.4*

Too hard to use. Can’t lock parts in place so I have to make everything inconsistent. And rotation doesn’t work either. Lacks basic features

### 1/5 — Can’t Move Anything

*2024-12-24, version 2.4.4*

I don’t know what it is, but all I can do is rotate things. Useful for posing the dummy, but not useful for when your desk chair is sticking out of the top of the desk. No arrows appeared or anything. Cannot move furniture on axis or needs like a big arrow pointing at how to do it.

### 1/5 — …

*2024-10-03, version 2.4.4*

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad

### 1/5 — Very limited and expensive!!?? :\

*2024-05-25, version 2.4.4*

Got the app to help with poses and off the bat it’s very complicated to move the doll around and you basically only get 1 dummy. If u want a skeleton, hands, furniture you have to pay 10 DOLLARS. absurd. I’d rather just buy a real one off Amazon

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2023-12-16, version 2.4.1*

There is nothing you can get without the premium I thought this was actually good but it's not

### 1/5 — Good at first but do not download

*2023-11-25, version 2.4.1*

I hate this game I always will and I hope you guys won’t download it is really bad and I hope for Pete sake that you want the people who download it Delete it now

### 1/5 — background function doesnt work :(

*2023-08-16, version 2.3.7*

i downloaded this for the self added background function so i can fix my poses when theres smth wrong with them but it doesnt even work :| the app just crashes

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2022-10-21, version 2.3.7*

Wish I could get my money back, the controls are super hard to understand.

### 5/5 — The best download this but read first

*2026-08-28, version 2.4.5*

Gooooooooooooooooooooooood!

### 5/5 — So satisfying and so fun

*2026-07-16, version 2.4.5*

I have absolutely no regrets for this, the premium is perfect and a one time purchase plus it’s so cheap

### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥

*2026-05-17, version 2.4.5*

This is so peak, please add models with muscle anatomy I beg

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-11-25, version 2.4.5*

This app is good I think would be great if there where free hands I can’t draw hands so it would be easier

### 5/5 — Light bulb moment

*2025-09-20, version 2.4.4*

Once I went to tutorial for app the app became very easy to use

### 5/5 — I like it

*2025-08-30, version 2.4.4*

It’s good

### 5/5 — I love it but…

*2025-08-23, version 2.4.4*

I love this app, but I don’t like how it has an app purchases, but I don’t need those because well I can draw in my own props

### 5/5 — Don’t waste your time if you don’t want to pay for anything

*2025-07-26, version 2.4.4*

This app is great, sure, but you have to pay for everything to design what you want. I only put this as a 5 star so you can see this

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-07-24, version 2.4.4*

I love using this app! It’s easy and fun, great for references blah blah blah all the above. But I do wish that you could have just a few more free items. The one time payment of $10 is great but people like me who are scared to ask their parents anything, could have a little something. Maybe instead of the three people, the block, and the stairs, we could have one item from every category. Just so there’s a variety because it gets boring quick and it would be nice to have a little something. Please respond to meeeee :)

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-06-29, version 2.4.4*

This app is good I think would be great if there was a scale system like change the size of the model like the width and height
