### 5/5 — Old version of 2023 is better than this.

*2026-08-12, version 2.1.7*

Bring the old version back please. The 2023 version could be more better than this and gives you more users. It was only called xpression not xpression avatar.. please try more

### 1/5 — 作った動画の保存ができません。

*2026-06-13*

しばらくぶりに使ってみたら、、以前はあったグーグルドライブにシェアするアイコンが消えていました。（「More」のアイコンを押しても反応しません。）画像はSNSに公開するしか、保存ができない状態です。本日（2026年6月13日）修正をお願いするメールを出しました。プレミアム1年で12000円お支払いしていますが、SNSで公開したくないので、何も出来ません。

### 1/5 — Melv

*2026-02-17, version 2.1.7*

It doesn’t deserve up to one star from me, the face and everything is just blurred, I don’t know why you all had to update this app knowing you will turn it into a perfect trash, so upset for wasting 80$ on this thing.

### 4/5 — I need free premium

*2025-12-10, version 2.1.6*

I need free premium

### 5/5 — ERROR SUBSCRIPTION

*2025-10-27, version 2.1.6*

I’ve been trying to upgrade to Premium (1 Year or Lifetime) but keep getting:

“Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed. For assistance, contact iTunes Support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/.”

This happens every time — even on stable Wi-Fi and cellular.

Device: iPhone 13  
iOS: 18.7.1 (latest)  
App Version: [Check App Store → Xpression → Version History → e.g., 8.2.1]

Steps I’ve tried (none worked):
- Force-quit & reopened app
- Signed out/in of Apple ID
- Restarted iPhone
- Cleared App Store cache (Settings → App Store → Sign Out → Sign In)
- Tried both 1-Year ($79.99) and Lifetime ($249.99)
- No restrictions in Screen Time or payment methods

The free version works, but **I cannot upgrade** — this is a **payment processing bug**, not my account.

### 1/5 — Version

*2025-09-02, version 2.1.5*

Honestly Am disappointed in this new version you can even use it to do anything even when you pay for it. Pls can you take us back to the old version

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-08-07, version 2.1.5*

The previous is far better than this upgrade, please go back to what you use to have.. I counted on you guys but now I’m disappointed

### 4/5 — Unable to subscribe

*2025-05-05, version 2.1.5*

I can’t subscribe from my Apple ID balance why ?

### 1/5 — I want my money back why the app is kicking me off. Give my money now back😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

*2025-04-13, version 2.1.5*

me off. Give my money now back😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Creeps

*2025-03-31, version 2.1.5*

Why do you need access to all of my photos ? Why force a premium trial subscription and allow zero functionality without full access to all my photos? Nice try wrong guy.
