It would be nice to be able to add custom scenes. ### 3/5 — 3 and a half stars *2025-03-30, version 1.6* I really like it but it would be better if I didn’t have to have a true depth camera and if we could make custom ones ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-01-08, version 1.6* When recorded from an external device, it looks great, in person, it’s alright. Also, there is a very limited amount of 3D models to choose from, I thing it would be cool to add a functionality to upload your own 3D models to view ### 4/5 — Good but sometimes freezes *2024-11-10, version 1.6* It freezes when i play but overall besides that it is very good👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤫🧏‍♂️ ### 4/5 — Pretty sexy *2024-08-17, version 1.6* Ultimately le app is good as parallax works. It works best at slow and instead of moving head moving the phone. It is a brill party trick and also very cool and egg. If I had to do a complaint it would be to make it default that the app starts automatically on auto detect for which eye. Otherwise it is very wise. Good ### 5/5 — Works *2024-06-08, version 1.6* Works perfectly fine even on older iphone like mine (iPhone X) would recommend ### 5/5 — New favorite app *2024-06-01, version 1.6* To me this Is considered a game like wow this app is so awesome I have always wanted a to see my phones insides 5 stars 😀👍 ### 3/5 — It…works?!??!! *2024-06-01, version 1.6* It works better caving into my phone than sticking out but wow! It works best on the void scene. It would be cool if there were more moving scenes other than vibranium. At the same time I could just play my 3DS and play actual 3D games… ### 5/5 — Cool experiment *2024-05-24, version 1.6* Cool experiment ### 5/5 — Cool App *2024-05-19, version 1.6* Boring is gone ### 5/5 — Great *2024-05-16, version 1.6* Great ### 4/5 — iPhone SE? *2024-05-15, version 1.6* The iPhone SE really works for some reason? But this ia a really cool app thanks for make this app I really enjoy this app😁 ### 5/5 — It’s awesome *2024-05-14, version 1.6* I love the perspective stuff ### 4/5 — Small problem *2024-02-26, version 1.6* I have an iPhone 14 standard which has a sensor but it works without 3d depth? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please let everyone try 😡 *2024-08-24, version 1.6* This game looks really cool but warning do not get if your phone is not Xr it does not let you use this app ### 1/5 — Worst thing *2024-08-16, version 1.6* It’s not letting me go and iPad I can’t see the app and iPad. I need a iPhone but I don’t have one. I only have a Samsung and the problem is just if they can add face checking on iPad that would be amazing because I really want to see this worked in one star ### 1/5 — it says it works for all iPhones But not mine and this phone is 3 months old so I DONT get it. *2024-06-12, version 1.6* I hate this app. ### 1/5 — My review *2024-05-23, version 1.6* Dear creator(s), I don’t wanna be that guy, but can you make some sort of adjustment to this app? When I first heard about it, and downloaded it, I was really excited to see what cool & trippy illusions this app would have. But, when I opened the app, it said it needed a “TrueDepth” camera to “perform face tracking”. I’m not too sure what this “face tracking” is supposed to be, but maybe you could just take that part down, so it might work easier. I just wanted to send the feedback. I also put in a 1 star review on it, so until y’all do something about this, the review’s not gonna change. Best regards, Wyatt Patterson ### 1/5 — Orriveu *2022-01-16, version 1.6* Eu não consigo entrar no app e fica numa tela preta escrito: this app requires a TrueDepth camera to perform face tracking ### 1/5 — Bah *2021-04-22, version 1.6* Pessimo non rende come effetto ottico👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Ерунда *2021-04-01, version 1.6* Приложение для детишек и то на пару минут. На заставку поставить нельзя. Ничего полезного. ### 1/5 — Informazioni errate nella scheda: non compatibile con gli iPhone elencati *2021-03-27, version 1.6* L’applicazione, come scritto anche da altri, non è in realtà utilizzabile (e quindi compatibile) con tutti gli iPhone. La scheda del AppStore è errata. ### 1/5 — Iphone 8 non supportato *2021-03-22, version 1.6* Iphone 8 non supportato nonostante dovrebbe essere compatibile da iPhone 6S ### 1/5 — Me pone un error cuando entro *2021-03-08, version 1.6* ?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Interesting *2026-04-05, version 1.6* Goid optical illusion ### 5/5 — Cool 😎 *2025-03-20, version 1.6* An unusual experience, it works great ### 5/5 — Better than i expected *2025-01-31, version 1.6* Closing one eye sells the illusion even more ### 5/5 — Useless but cool! 😎 *2024-12-12, version 1.6* This is probably the coolest app on my phone. Also the most useless one 🤣! I love it! There is this saying in my country when someone does something incredibly: “Looks like someone had time to spare!” ### 5/5 — mrwhosetheboss *2024-10-21, version 1.6* mrwhosetheboss on youtube ### 5/5 — 😱 *2024-10-15, version 1.6* I love this app, the ability to implement face tracking in an app to make it more immersive is absorbing genius. I would lime for more spaces, but it’s still amazing! Cant wait to see other games implement something like this. And for anyone complaining that they don't have face tracking pr don't know what it is, thats not at all the developers fault. The game is based of face tracking. They cant just “fix it” to work on other models. ### 5/5 — It works *2024-10-11, version 1.6* I have an Iphone 11 and it it works every time I want to get this game my mom looks at the reviews an it is one star and my mom thought that I didn’t have a true depth but I downloaded it today and every one star is a lie ### 5/5 — This is so cool *2024-09-26, version 1.6* It’s a real cool illusion ### 5/5 — Ohhhhh *2024-09-05, version 1.6* Magia negra ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-08-09, version 1.6* Genius programming --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
