## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2019-08-15*

This app has so little detail and is also so limiting in what you can do you can't rotate or get a zoomed up feel or wide angel its a money grab if any artists are looking for a quick hand reference I would not recommend keep your money and ask a friend for a hand.

### 2/5 — Not suitable for newer iPhone

*2020-01-18*

The controls to manipulate the joints are at the bottom of the screen making it next to impossible to do anything on my iPhone Xr.

Ideally it should be great, but unfortunately it’s got a huge roadblock.

### 2/5 — Base of this thumb doesnt work like a thumb.

*2018-06-08*

The base of the thumb may be a pad but in this app its a big bulgy ball and not in the right spot for posing.  It looks akward.   Hard to get rest of thumb posed correctly cause of this offset ball.  Not realistic. 

Rest of the hand okay but female version would be better with more feminine tapered fingers - and the female’s fingernails look like theres dirt under the fingernail - please get rid of that dark line.

On a positive note, I  like that the hand can be rotated.  Like that there are saved base poses and you can save your custom poses.    

But the ‘ball’ of that thumb has to be fixed and location corrected cause it just doesnt look right.

### 3/5 — This could be so good

*2019-01-19*

Oh man...this app has potential. My main concern is that if you open it on an edge to edge screen like an iPhone X, you can’t interact with a lot of the functions. Keep developing it though, this could be great.

### 4/5 — It has potential

*2023-03-16*

I’m not sure why this has a poor rating. I took the chance and so far it isn’t as bad with some minor issues. Dear developer, the app is good just the sliders are really close together so it takes a bit  to adjust the hand. In the screen shots the sliders are farther apart. And the rotation can be expanded on  to capture different angles Please update the app.  Thank you

### 4/5 — stupid ui good function

*2022-11-16*

I am a bundle buyer, so I write the same review on 3 applications.
The function is full, but the UI is so lame. A stupid UI
I was really angry because it was hard to control the slider. I'm so mad
The position of the slider covers the model.
Please adjust the position and let me input the numbers directly on the damn slider.
In this case, it is hoped that the function of coloring the piece will be added so that the slider being adjusted can know which part it is controlling.
It's very frustrating, but it's in use. Thank you, developer!

### 4/5 — hope add feet

*2021-07-28*

It is also useful

### 4/5 — ipad version please

*2020-09-26*

good but will not rotate to landscape orientation!.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-08-29*

Great animation tool, and drawing reference.

### 5/5 — Отлично!

*2020-04-27*

Купила чисто из интереса и не пожалела! Очень хороший редактор, можно настроить чуть ли не каждый палец по отдельности, а так же поменять пол (очень хорошо проработано анатомическое отличие женской руки от мужской). Так же есть готовые позы рук. 
Довольна всем ❤️
