### 2/5 — Ya didn't think of everything

*2016-01-07, version 1.1*

The app is very specific, tells you what to do but you forgot about those people with phones, or iPods that have only one the inside camera so the app is useless to me I printed the sheet, I bought the $4 app and I finished the skin but when I scanned it the screen just went gray. Please update this app, And people I higher recommend to not get this app if you have a inner camera.

### 2/5 — Super fun to make, but...

*2015-12-19, version 1.1*

I printed it with the non-simplified kind (because that's what I'm used to.) When I was done I lit it in a well-lit room with the phone light on. I did color in the lines, but it just turned into a blur of color.

### 4/5 — Good App Overall, But one fix is needed.

*2015-09-25, version 1.1*

I love it. However please make an add to photo library option since mcpe now supports custom skins.

### 2/5 — My mistake

*2015-07-25, version 1.1*

I got this app and was really excited to use it. I printed out the template and everything when I was finally done I realized I could not upload it to minecraft pe. Please fix this then I will rate it with 5 stars.

### 3/5 — Skin looks saturated?

*2014-11-28, version 1.1*

I colored my minecraft skin, and scanned it, but i'm unsatisfied. It looks to "orange." Probably because of the color of the skin?
It just looks like the thing just got out of the tanning bed.

### 2/5 — Bad

*2014-11-15, version 1.1*

Sooo bad and the website has half of the skin so I can't make it! I WANA REFUND

### 3/5 — Good...I think

*2014-05-10, version 1.1*

I have an iPod touch that does not have a front camera so pls make it work on an inside camera pls and also can u update it for 1.8??

### 3/5 — Good, Not worth it.

*2014-04-19, version 1.1*

Don't buy it, it doesn't work that well. But it's still pretty neat.

### 4/5 — It's Pretty cool. Worth buying but....

*2014-02-08, version 1.1*

I love this app. One you know the difference between standard template and simplified, it's pretty handy HOWEVER, I would like it to be better with colored pencils. I know it recommends markers but it would be awesome if they let you use colored pencils. Overall I love the app. Worth buying .

### 3/5 — Works alright

*2014-01-31, version 1.1*

It gets the job done, and it's easier than drawing on a computer program. Please update for 1.8 ASAP! The skins are backwards compatible. This app is useless to me without the new skin format.

### 4/5 — Saves

*2014-01-09, version 1.1*

Great app but you should be able to save skins you have scanned

### 2/5 — Very weird

*2014-01-04, version 1.1*

It works but when I scan it it doesn't look any thing like I drew. It looks totally weird not worth $3 trust me.

### 3/5 — How to fix

*2013-11-15, version 1.1*

I know how you can fix it- make it so you can email the skin, then I can have it on my computer and upload it from there

### 2/5 — ok, but a little disappointing.

*2013-10-12, version 1.1*

App is ok, but my gamer skin looked really 
weird like a blue blob. Good idea but plz update

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-04-28*

I remember being scared to ask my dad for this app and when I downloaded it, I never used it because it didn’t do anything.  All of those positive reviews are lies and they are trying to trick you into being disappointed.  Do not download, it’s not gonna work and it should be removed from the App Store any time now.

### 1/5 — Upload doesn’t work

*2020-03-01, version 2.0*

Creating the skin was easy, but when we upload to Minecraft we’re redirected to “We’re ssssorry we couldn’t find the page you’re looking for". Please update your upload link

### 1/5 — This app is so crapy, I CANT EVEN!

*2016-04-21, version 1.1*

I made this perfectly good skin and when it came out from scanning it was complete CRAP! If I could put in pictures oh boy I would just to warn the new comers...!

### 1/5 — Terrible, get tired of holding the phone

*2015-12-26, version 1.1*

This app is terrible at scanning my skin creations. I have to hold the phone for 20 mins just to get a low quality skin.

### 1/5 — Tough Love

*2015-07-27, version 1.1*

I think it's a great app. It has some problems though.
1. You can't get a picture in the right format to upload to Minecraft pe. You have to buy a $4 app just to download the skin even though other apps do the same thing and better.
2. The shading doesn't quite work right. Even the white part has some color, why?!
This app is pretty good still, if you have $4.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-07-01, version 1.1*

Dosnt work, it won't scan.

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER

*2014-01-26, version 1.1*

DO NOT BUY HORRIBLE  APP I WANT MY MONEY BACK HORRIBLE AT SCANING RIPOFF

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2014-01-12, version 1.1*

Not at all what I thought it was

### 1/5 — You need to make it work for pe

*2013-10-14, version 1.1*

You need to make it work for minecraft pe.

### 1/5 — Terrible App, I want a refund.

*2013-09-29, version 1.1*

It does not scan very accurately. It just looks like a blob. It couldn't even do a simple face. They need to seriously fix this app.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2016-08-28, version 1.1*

Also love the app

### 5/5 — Good...

### 5/5 — BEST MINECRAFT APP!

It's worth every single penny! I luv to draw...even if u are horrible at drawing it works perfectly I would give it a 1,000,000,000,000 🌟s! Just get it already LOL :3

### 5/5 — Best Skin Creator Ever

*2014-04-01, version 1.1*

I have been looking for a skin creator, and the template was easy, fast, and fun to do. Also, the option of importing it to the editor app is phenomenal and making the creation of the skin a ton easier. Worth the 3.00, do doubt.

### 5/5 — Broken skin fix

*2013-09-29, version 1.1*

Before you scan, tap Standard or Simple
Then, scan.

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!!

*2013-09-22, version 1.1*

This app is great. I couldn't find the skin I wanted on any website so I made it myself and it looks great. Love this app!!! For the people who are having trouble scanning: try out lining the boxes around the template.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly accurate

*2013-09-20, version 1.1*

Wow this app was totally worth the money! It's so amazing that the app can scan the drawings that accurate and quick! I so recommend this app .

### 5/5 — I'm the first tiper about this app

*2013-09-20, version 1.1*

REALLY GOOD😀
