### 5/5 — mmmmm brugerrs

*2026-08-19, version 1.28.15*

soooo goood🤤🤤🤤🤤

### 5/5 — Works well

*2026-08-04, version 1.28.15*

For me it works well since I’m a vtuber but can you remove the 5 minute timer? Since it keeps pausing every time I stream

### 4/5 — Works well although…

*2026-08-02, version 1.28.15*

This app is easy to set up and works great! But on one of my live2d models there is a problem, the mouth is inverted. When I smile, it frowns, and when I frown, the model smiles. There is no option to invert the mouth shapes or things like that, and it was an auto set up model so that was probably the reason. I have no idea how to fix it because it isn’t my model, and I have no experience in live2d modeling.

### 5/5 — peak

*2026-08-01, version 1.28.15*

it’s very easy to import models and although something may be confusing, it is a relatively simple app

### 2/5 — I kinda like like the game, but I don’t

*2026-07-26, version 1.28.15*

You see you can’t create your own characters. You have to use a preset ones and if you’re black, there’s no black characters and it’s not fair to the people who are black like I’m black and I just don’t like the game like there’s only three characters you can use and you can’t make any of your own so I suggest that you should not get the same at all. I should’ve gave this game a one star but I’m giving it two stars because I’m generous.

### 1/5 — Who is the weirdo on the first slide…

*2026-06-23, version 1.28.15*

Why is there a middle aged man on the first skide.. CREEPY

### 4/5 — 改善をしてほしい

*2026-06-21, version 1.28.15*

サムネイルをスマホで作る時に不便なことがあります。
1) モデルデータが大き過ぎるのか、最近のモデルだとスマホに受信できないものが多くあり、サムネイルを作るのにいちいちパソコンでやらなきゃならないのが不便です。受け取れるモデルデータ量を上げてください。
2) Live2Dをアクセサリーとしてロードする機能がスマホアプリ版には未だに無いのです。仕方なく人物とアクセサリーを別々に撮って組み合わせています。改善をお待ちしています。

### 5/5 — It’s good

*2026-06-17, version 1.28.15*

.

### 1/5 — This doesn’t work and overpriced..

*2026-06-14, version 1.28.15*

If I could rate this less then one star I would. Over 30$ for pro on the mobile version just for it not to connect no matter what I tried. I reached out to plenty of older vtubers who have dealt with it and they were also so confused on what was happening.

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT YAYAYYAYYAYAYYAYA

*2026-05-26, version 1.28.15*

So like I love playing around with my pjsk live2d models and I love them sm yay!
