### 4/5 — I need help

*2025-11-25, version 2.19.0*

I can’t even get my characters that I downloaded I’m on mobile and it makes no sense I’m downloading the model like a million times but I don’t get it it’s not even appearing

### 4/5 — Question

*2025-10-30, version 2.19.0*

Can I use it for commercial purposes on the free version?

### 3/5 — Add body tracking

*2025-10-10, version 2.19.0*

Add body tracking for hands and stuff

### 2/5 — 利用規約が読めない

*2025-05-27*

初回起動時に出現する利用規約リンクが404な上そこを逃すと利用規約の確認ができません
アプリの出来は良さそうなだけに残念です

### 4/5 — Hidden Potential

*2025-03-09, version 2.19.0*

This app NEEDS hand tracking as well as expanding avatar file size to 100mbt

### 2/5 — Update this

*2025-02-28, version 2.19.0*

Update it . Bum

### 4/5 — Great just one thing

*2024-11-22, version 2.19.0*

This App is GREAT! The only thing that I am suggesting is hand tracking option or you could just add it. If you did that I would be very happy! I went to this app when VIRTU went down and I’ve been using this app for a while now. I just want you to please add hand tracking. I got bored of the app and how I can only control my face so please add the hand tracking. Other than that this app is the best I have came cross so Thank you for your effort in making this app! For now I’ll give four stars!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

### 2/5 — Vear Don’t Support Unity VRM Imports!

*2023-09-04, version 2.19.0*

Just like the title said “ Vear Don’t Support Unity VRM Imports!” So I had to use my Vroid studio vrm to use my model here. Anytime I try Unity VRM on my Vroid studio model after importing it just won’t work. I use ARKit on my model and did everything right. This app has to be main source of the problem. Hope the owners will see this and fix it. Even do a video tutorial to show it works with Unity import model models. I have contacted them but no response from them.

### 3/5 — Not what I expected

*2022-12-27, version 2.19.0*

Honestly, I thought this would be a fun game, I recently got my 9th generation iPad, and I could finally download the app. When I opened it, it was horrible, the face tracking was terrible, the shading you needed to get add’s for to even change the color, the characters were ugly. The bunny that shown in the pictures for the app isn’t even there, I don’t recommend this app, plus even asking, or contacting the person who made the app is pointless, they don’t respond, plus it’s not worth it. Everything is just horrible, terrible and awful. Am rating this a 3/10 because I tried it, and I wasn’t very interested. And I disliked everything abt it, I recommend other apps tho, maybe VRoid Mobile or VIRTU. Those are better, I tried them myself, and they seem amazing!!
Ty for reading, don’t waste ur time on this app, listen to me. It’s not worth fighting for :’D

### 5/5 — yaya

*2022-08-17, version 2.19.0*

Question first: how do you change your avatar? I can only change the filter (I’m on IPhone 11).

other then that, this is a amazing game! I love taking my phone on the bus and showing my friend and letting them use it!!
so fun

### 5/5 — People really don’t read description Nowadays💀

*2022-07-21, version 2.19.0*

It’s a good app to rp with I’m glad I downloaded it but first I was hesitant. I was on my tiktok fyp, and saw theese yandere simulator vr characters and they looked detailed so, I looked at a tutorial, and downloaded this. The reason people are complaining are bc it’s not compatible with, non- fullscreen devices. But the description litterally pointed it out so, I don’t get why they downloaded it. It clearly said,” DONT WRITE A REVIEW ABOUT COMPATIBLES, THIS APP SUPPORTS ONLY FULL SCREEN DEVICES.” And guess what they did, Write a review about compatibles! It’s a overall really good app, it’s just people are pretty stupid to understand VR stuff like this.

### 4/5 — Awesome, but needs hand tracking.

*2022-07-15, version 2.19.0*

See title.

### 4/5 — Good ig

*2022-06-06, version 2.19.0*

It's good but I still haven't found out how to change the avatar 😭 someone pls help

### 5/5 — I don’t get why people are complaining just one issue but it’s great

*2022-06-02, version 2.19.0*

So I can take a video the character functions perfectly I can take pictures and choose a list from a list of characters I can stand up move my body face and head everybody is complaining about mY iPHoNe iS tOo OlD nOoO pLs hElP it’s just cuz ur iPhone is too old nothing to complain about there is other apps like oh my lord/oml but it’s that my character is completely sideways I mean I would love to get this bug fixed but if it can’t it’s ok cuz Idrc (I don’t really care) so yeah great app and idk why people hate it or they’re complaining a lot about how they have a iPhone 7 and they really want the app but like dude, the person who made this app can’t fix that and there is plenty of other apps just search “vtuber” or “𝙫𝙚𝙖𝙧” so yeah I don’t get the problem…. Btw I’m on iPad when I use it

まともに動かない

### 1/5 — AMAZING!

*2026-03-16, version 2.19.0*

Excellent with Blendshapes! Expressions! Fluent movement! Maybe we can have some more poses? Along with the apose, arms cross, arms behind back! Other than that 10/10

### 1/5 — 利用規約

利用規約がエラーで読めないので、規約に同意出来ません。

### 1/5 — 表示されない

*2025-01-07*

vrm読み込めてないっぽい何も出てこない

### 1/5 — Zoomed In

*2022-07-04, version 2.19.0*

My model loads really big and I can’t zoom out. There appears to be a zoom feature but it’s locked behind a paywall so I can’t test to see if this app will even work right with my avatar. The developer is also a jerk who did not take my concerns seriously and told me just to use another app. When I brought the same concerns to Virtu, they added a zoom feature without asking for money for it. They’ve added several other features and are very open to my feedback and actually want to make the app usable for their users. I’ll give my money to them before this app.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2022-03-23, version 2.19.0*

I literally cant update the game! I cant even use it

### 1/5 — HELP

*2021-08-29, version 2.14.0*

hello, creators of vear. I have a certain problem which i cannot get this app off my screen even if i delete it, i was trying to download a model and accidentally clicked the “ they took advantage of*it cut off* “ button. It is not getting off my sori suggestions and every time it opens it says “ downloading... “ and kicks me off the app. How do i fix this?

こんにちは、vearの作成者。 このアプリを削除しても画面から消えないという問題があります。モデルをダウンロードしようとして、誤って「利用された*カットオフ*」ボタンをクリックしました。 それは私のソリの提案から外れていません、そしてそれが開くたびにそれは「ダウンロードしています...」と言い、私をアプリから追い出します。 これを修正するにはどうすればよいですか？

你好，vear 的创造者。 我有一个问题，即使我删除了这个应用程序，我也无法将它从我的屏幕上移开，我试图下载一个模型并且不小心点击了“他们利用了*它被切断了*”按钮。 它并没有摆脱我的 sori 建议，每次打开它都会说“正在下载...”并让我离开应用程序。 我该如何解决？

### 1/5 — Avatar didn’t even show up

*2021-08-17, version 2.14.0*

### 5/5 — Love it! But…

*2025-05-25, version 2.19.0*

Can you add hand tracking and eye tracking to the app for free? Then you’re on top of the list.

### 5/5 — I love this app

### 5/5 — AR mode

*2024-10-21*

Hello!
Does this app have an AR mode?

### 5/5 — Love Vear!!! But where are the updates?

*2024-10-01, version 2.19.0*

Still LOVE IT.  but I can’t get the company to respond on going live with it on platforms like tiktok or YouTube. 

Vear is my number 1 go to for my story telling and using my vroid avatar. Its been 2 years, there have not been any updates to the software or the libraries to things like more clothes. The app is amazing, but it needs a few more features. Like for instance, letti g the avatar grip the camera if wanted to look like you are actually holding the phone. This happened to me in a glitch and it was amazing. Stream to Other apps like youtube dont really work and it would be nice to have some native lbs support. -Lawnmower Girl

### 5/5 — Using this to record: The

*2024-07-07, version 2.19.0*

It’s very nice but it kinda has the v tuber model disappearing but I think it’s good for streaming

### 5/5 — english telops

*2023-12-11, version 2.19.0*

i love this app! if i could change body rotation that’d be nice thoughh. since if you’re lying down or something your character’s neck breaks and only the head rotates. also, mostly just this, english telops would be really nice.
thank you!!

### 5/5 — 最高です

*2023-11-02*

つい最近自作のモデルが完成したので、スマホで手軽にモデルを動かせるアプリを探していました。
Vroidhubと連携可能、加えてレビューがかなり良いのでこのアプリを入れてみましたが大正解でした！！
他のアプリも数個試してみましたが、このアプリがいっっちばんモデルがかわいく写ります…！！！🫶
絶対絶対今後もこのアプリでうちの子を動かし続けます！！
上から目線になってしまい申し訳ないのですが、運営様の対応やより良い機能に向けての頑張りがとても好印象で更にこのアプリが大好きになりました…！

これはちょっとした要望なのですが、もし可能であるのならば背景を現実世界と同期(普通のビデオ撮影と変わらず、自分の姿だけモデルに変わる)させれたら凄く嬉しいなと感じております。
無知なものでこれがどれだけ大変か分からないので、ひとつの提案程度に考えてくださると嬉しいです…🙏

最近は急に寒くなり体調を崩しやすいので、どうか運営様もご自愛ください。これからもこのアプリの発展を楽しみにしております 最高なアプリをありがとうございます！！🍀

### 5/5 — Great game just a few issues

*2023-03-26*

Now I’m not going to lie it is a very fun game and I love playing it but I don’t like that you have to be premium to have different expressions including the fact that you only can have the accessories for 18hrs which is a bit annoying and every time I try to record with the speaker there is this ad and I can’t get rid of it and even when I close the folder it doesn’t work so please fix those and please make it clearer to where you can change your avatar because people keep saying Oh JuSt ClICK YoUR NaMe but I do not see any name so please add a button where it says dress up or whatever idrc anyways I love it and have a nice day

### 5/5 — Decent

*2022-08-24, version 2.19.0*

It’s a good program; just wish it had options for animations, and the ability to control your character 🌺
