It’s easy to use and great fun to play with. The Problem 1 is that it seems only capable of keeping up with about 7 seconds of speech at a moderate rate. Before the buffer is full and is stops listening while it works on lip sync. Problem 2 is that the app cancels the sound on iPad screen recordings and will not accept an external microphone. problem 3 is that the developers do not respond to e-mails. This is such a shame as I would happily buy a pro version of the app if the above issues were fixed. ### 3/5 — Awesome but has issues *2021-09-14, version 2.33* It seems to have issues with glitches on the top right of almost every picture and the overall quality of the saved videos is not very good…. If they could make it work without the glitches and able to save in hd, I would pay good money for it… ### 4/5 — Not being able to use sound *2021-08-14, version 2.33* Motion portrait is good but I cant use the sound other than that it’s awesome ### 3/5 — Weird.. *2021-03-16, version 2.33* When ever I add a picture, It adds a black persons mouth moving and smiles then kicks me out of the app. ### 3/5 — poo *2021-03-03, version 2.33* its not working it keeps making the image widen when i blinks and not where i put the eye 😐 ### 4/5 — PLZ *2021-03-02, version 2.33* THEZE REVIEWZ HAVE ME CRYING I CANT ### 4/5 — -<- *2021-03-02, version 2.33* Ehh, it’s okay. It’s needs a few adjustments, it’s great for art and editing and stuff. But whenever editing the eyes it always crashes into another position. So please fix this. And farewell ( - v - ) ### 2/5 — eyes *2021-03-01, version 2.33* when i adjusted the eyes it worked the first time but now it keeps resetting and going over half the face ### 3/5 — Something Scary is in it *2021-03-01, version 2.33* Great app, honestly, amazing. But, when ever I finished my thing I can hear someone talk. I’m not talking, it’s like white noise. I’m honestly scared but I’m not sure. Other than that, amazing app. ### 3/5 — Who here for dame da me *2020-08-06, version 2.32* Bruh ### 2/5 — TikTok *2020-07-21, version 2.32* anyone else doing using this for an edit Lmaooaoaoa ### 3/5 — Problems with capital P *2020-06-29, version 2.32* This app used to work really great I used it with my art and marketing... now there seems to be glitches everywhere I can’t find the eye adjustments , I can’t move things around there’s a lot of problems with this app. Please fix Thanks ### 3/5 — It’s ok but sometimes.... *2020-05-11, version 2.32* So I loved this the only thing I have to say is..When I edit I hate the teeth ### 2/5 — I dislike it and like it but it needs a big fix *2019-11-10, version 2.30* So when I was making the face and stuff randomly it shows a other persons “teeth and gums” it scared me so I did a other picture of me it still did the same thing I’m very extremely frightened... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened!? *2023-03-10, version 2.34* I had Photo Speak I paid for on my iPhone for a few years. I use it now & then. I tried to use it today & it led me to Motion Portrait. I downloaded MP because Photo Speak was not listed in app store & it says ‘not available in my country’ - US. That's weird. Anyone know why? ### 1/5 — I used to love this app! *2023-02-02, version 2.34* Now it will not do anything. You can’t put sound it just random records whatever and you cannot save anything. Useless. ### 1/5 — bruh just no *2021-05-20, version 2.33* nope ### 1/5 — Made my phone laggy *2021-03-07, version 2.33* It’s a cool app but it gave my phone a malware and started making it laggy. I deleted the app and everything went back to normal. ### 1/5 — تطبيق تجسس *2021-03-03, version 2.33* عند فتح التطبيق تفتح الكاميرا الامامية تلقائياً😡 ### 1/5 — It need some improvements *2020-10-12, version 2.33* 1. Every time I do the eyes it’s always going everywhere and it gets on my nerves. 2. The lips move very weird and I just don’t like it and in general I just don’t like this app ### 1/5 — Confusing *2020-04-11, version 2.32* I tried using it and it is so sensitive when you touch your screen. Also, what is that four face one even for? ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-05-27, version 2.25* Makes you look ugly and blinking is very very disturbing 👎👎👎😱😱😱😱😱 ### 1/5 — Update 2.12 is horrible *2018-03-10, version 2.12* I was using this app for a project and the update with facial expressions ruined it. Now I can’t edit a photo of someone smiling without their teeth moving. The update ruined the app. I tried downloading other Motion Portrait apps and they’re all giving me the same results. Total bummer because I loved the app before the update. ### 1/5 — Fail *2017-12-21, version 2.9.3* My video exports all have a thick black bar above and to the right. Unable to contact the developer for support as I only speak English. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Talking balloon *2022-11-02, version 2.34* I love making hot air balloons talk with the other talking apps such as Talking Ben the Dog. . . . ### 5/5 — What happen to crouching sapnap? *2021-03-01, version 2.33* I like this a lot but it was cursed but cool!

Even so this game is a lot of fun. I like that it’s a lot smaller too so it’s a lot faster than many I’ve tried --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
