This app used to be laggy but I decided to use this app again for myself to see if it was as bad. So I went and got the app and I saw several problems with it already. Big fat 1- Its not coquette :[ The characters are not in sync for facial expressions. If you move the camera angle on there, sometimes the head will glitch. The torso would glitch too. Big fat 2- the app was a fat slob, so it ate the quality The app has not that much of “quality” on there. It is laggy still and should possibly be updated. The app is boring and all you can use is just three characters. They should also add more characters to make this app more useful. Big fat 3- ouchie it bad The app is pretty much limited on stuff. I would recommend more stuff to add additionally on this app. The app doesn’t have much of a purpose sadly. There are other apps (or programs) that have more characters or Vtubers on there. This app is a big fat ;-; ### 2/5 — Not that good *2023-06-14, version 1.2.2* There’s only 3 characters and a few backgrounds you can use, and the face recognition is off. When I have my eyes wide open the characters eyes are half closed, and you can’t even pose the body at all. ### 2/5 — お願いします、 *2023-05-28, version 1.2.2* 自分でキャラを作りたいです！ よろしくお願いします！！！ ### 3/5 — Fun but... *2022-08-12, version 1.2.2* Ok I thought I was going to have a good time on this app but a didn’t would be better if you could move the characters and have all the characters on long ### 1/5 — キャラ作りさせて欲しい！ *2022-05-21, version 1.2.2* 私は友達にこのアプリいいよ！と言われて入って私も今日からバーチャル系YouTuberになれると思ったんですが、キャラクターは選択系で作るやつは無いのか探したんですが無かったので自分でもキャラ作りさせて欲しいと思ったのが1つ目で、2つ目が、手が動かない事です。バーチャルの動画を見た時は最後に手を振って終わってるのをみたことがあって、自分もやろうとしたら顔の表情変え、首の動きだけで手は全く動かなかったのでそこもやって欲しいなと思います。 私はこれらを追加させてくれたら99点くらいかなと思います！ ### 2/5 — I thought you could ACTUALLY MOVE IT *2021-05-29, version 1.2.2* So like, this would be a MUCH better game if: You could customize your own character or at LEAST add more characters If you could improve the glitching that happens when you try to move the body If maybe you could actually MOVE the body And it showed in the ad that you can blink…it doesn’t even blink. It stares at you sooo intently That is all. I will download this game again if you approve these things. Thank you. ### 2/5 — え・・・？　　えぇ・・・？？ *2021-04-29, version 1.2.2* このアプリを入れてみたら、まぁ、最初は 少し楽しかったのですが、あとから撮影する時に すぐ気付きました。 あのねぇ……… 手が、、、　　動かない！！！！！！！！ このアプリを入れた時、最初は 「これで　私もバーチャルキャラクターに 　なれる！！」 と　思ったのですがぁ………… 「なんで？なんでなん？」　と思ってしまいました。 私は、最初は　全身動くのかと思っていたんですけどぉ……… どうやら　違ったようです。 このアプリを入れる前に　皆さんの評価を 見てみたのですが、やはり私もこのアプリを入れた時によく分かりました。 あの……… 動きが　カクカクすぎです…………… あと、、、 選べる人数少なすぎる……… まぁ、どっちにしろ、どうせなら　 「選ぶ方式」　より　「自分で作る方式」 のほうが　良くないですか？！ ねえ、皆さん！！！！　そうですよね？！ でも、最初から　皆さんの評価を見てると 全体的に　評価悪いですよ？ ですが、悪い点を　除くと　いい点もあるかもしれませんよ？（私的には少しだけだと思う） いい点は、、、　（探してる） ・バーチャルキャラクターが　かわいい ・反応して　顔は 動く ・選ぶ方式　だけど、以外といいのかも ・背景が　選べる とまあ、こんな感じですね。 まぁ、これでも　楽しいって思う人も いると思いますけどね！ これで　終わります。 ありがとうございました〜。 ちなみに……… ［すとぷり大好きです！］ ［ジェル推しなんです！］ ### 1/5 — It won’t work *2021-04-02, version 1.2.2* This app doesn’t work for me? Plus I think it would be better if you could make your own character ### 3/5 — (´・ω・｀) *2021-03-20, version 1.2.2* 作れない ## Frequently asked questions about VChara ### What does VChara do?
