What is up with that? Please fix it! 😠 ### 1/5 — Do not play RIP OFF *2024-09-06, version 0.16.3* I played it zepeto avatars you can’t afford And it’s a rip off of Plotagon They make the scenes free It shouldn’t be legal Reply say yes if I’m talking good or no if you think I’m just talking smack ### 1/5 — cheap corporate money printer *2024-08-24, version 0.16.3* you have to pay for almost everything biggest letdown ever ### 1/5 — PLS READ *2024-08-15, version 0.16.3* Ok so when I first opened the app you get these tickets to get a background and on just one background I wasted so much of my tickets so when I wanted to switch the scene for the movie I couldn’t this app is horrible!! DONT NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME! ### 1/5 — Screen go’s black when I play the text *2024-08-07, version 0.16.3* When I make the character say something I press play and the screen goes black and I try rendering it and it doesn’t render pls fix this problem I hate it ### 1/5 — It's fine 🫤 *2024-06-21* I downloaded the app for new ZEPETO motions. It's nice that it has airport, car, city (etc.) backgrounds, but you don't get custom avatar expressions or a customizable place. Also, when I choose to make my character speak, it N̲E̲V̲E̲R̲ loads. If this had better quality, I'd give it a good rating. I'm just curious about the fact that there's literally more 1 stars than 2,3 and 4. But yeah. Just make the app better. 💀 ### 1/5 — This app needs more love Plotagon *2024-05-22* I was hoping to link both of my Zepeto accounts to this, but it only allows one. I want to make animations with my friends from Zepeto, I also want their to be free starter areas, premade characters, sound effects, and songs like in Plotagon. The dialoge bug is annoying, it takes a long time to load, please fix, I want my characters to talk. Their should be an option to make a Zepeto character in the app too (with limited options and cost a little popcorn). Overall if you do these thing this app will have higher ratings. ### 1/5 — Way too buggy *2024-05-19* The app is glitched out every time I add the dialogues to the characters. ### 1/5 — Dialogue doesn’t work *2024-05-09, version 0.16.3* Please put out an update to where I can add dialogue without it constantly loading. I have ideas I want to test and the dialogue bug is RUINING THE FUN OVERALL. Please fix this so I can create more with my Zepeto characters😒 ### 2/5 — Worst App *2024-04-24, version 0.16.3* It didn’t work out for z cut because it was loading for ages. I was hoping it could work but it did not work out at all. But plotogon works better than z cut. ### 2/5 — Update/ Upgrade needed *2024-04-24, version 0.16.3* Goes black when you add actors in scene. Would be great if developer can fix it and do some upgrades. Not able to add more than 2 actors as it kept going black after I subscribed to weekly plan. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-04-09, version 0.16.3* I used to be able to make half decent movies in this app. Sure they were never great but I mainly used this for a laugh so I didn’t mind the poor quality. Now, if I try to add any of my ZEPETO characters or try to add dialogue to a movie, the screen goes black. I can’t make anything, I can’t save anything and I’ve tried reinstalling like five times but nothing works. This was a waste of my time. ### 1/5 — Worst out of all *2024-03-22* It is so bad I want to throw my phone, it takes too long to load than it should. I can’t hear the voices even when I turn the volume up. It is a waste of my battery and my time i don’t know why people like this. Do better I’m disappointed ### 2/5 — It’s bad *2024-03-09* It’s bad because they only can use native voices for your characters, and every time I try to play a video when a character says something, it takes and our and a half before the video plays. And every time I tap on anything to add something, like a dialogue or music or sound effects, nothing happens and I have to click millions of times before it adds something new to the video. So this app is just so bad and very dumb and I really don’t wanna download this app ever again! ### 3/5 — Need work n update *2024-03-01* I see wat you guys were going with n it’s good it just need a little tune up, ya know give it a updates and fix all the bugs I feel like it was sort of rushed n not really taking the time to look through the issue, but like I said it’s good but please take your time and really go through it and see wat the issue is and fix it and update it so we customers don’t have to go through this again n that new comers wont experience it either ### 3/5 — NEEDS AN UPDATE NOW! *2024-01-17* As l told said the problems is the ads on the scene section should be giving you 3 scenes for each 1 ad you watch instead of 1 scene for each ad and secondly, has long loadings, When l want to continue my movie, it takes forever to load the movie again! So please UPDATE THE APP FREAKING APP ALREADY! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — YOU NEED A UPDATE… *2025-02-26, version 0.16.3* When i try to add a voice it takes so long to load SO PLEASE DO A UPDATE😡 ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-02-23, version 0.16.3* It scammed me and took my popcorn money without even saving the film to my device, it just made the screen go black and didn’t provide any information on why. Disgusting 🤮 ### 1/5 — Bull sh *2025-02-10, version 0.16.3* This is app is pure junk and not worth the subscription. All it does is freeze. ### 1/5 — Takes to long to load *2025-01-18, version 0.16.3* Every time I add a certain change it takes long to load ### 1/5 — This could actually have so much potential *2025-01-12, version 0.16.3* I wish you guys would fix the bugs and problems of this app ### 1/5 — Not easy to use *2024-12-28, version 0.16.3* Popcorn, coins WTH??? I would love to just even try this but unable to get it working? ### 1/5 — You stole from Plotagon *2024-12-20, version 0.16.3* Do you even hav permission ### 1/5 — If only the characters can work *2024-11-15, version 0.16.3* If only the characters can work and run in my own custom/manual setting and also have a good lip sync from audio like blender ### 1/5 — I love the game but a mandatory update is needed *2024-09-22, version 0.16.3* The game just overall lags whenever i add dialogue, and can you please update it to not lag anymore on this device i am using, and that's why i gave it one star. ### 1/5 — all paid and bugs *2024-09-17, version 0.16.3* Almost all is paid thats so annoying ,and has a LOT of bugs!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy *2025-03-16* I love this app it’s fun but when you get something with popcorn it takes forever to load ### 5/5 — Z-Cut not working for me *2024-05-04* I tried to add dialogue, but it’s still loading 😭, it takes forever to load ### 5/5 — iMovie series Team *2024-01-25, version 0.16.3* Is keep come back my Home Screen That need fix this app. ### 5/5 — Never mind *2024-01-02, version 0.16.3* Never mind it’s good in hands love the app pls but calld z-cut ### 5/5 — Nice app *2023-12-08* This app is incredibly amazing been using for a while now..needs a. Update badly though, since dialogue isn’t working properly ### 5/5 — Ngl this is pretty good for beginners like me *2022-10-23* This app is amazing!!! I love the options like voice record or A.I. Voices! The reason I downloaded this is because I thought it would be cool, but it’s more than cool!!! I REALLY REALLY RECOMMEND THIS APP! ### 5/5 — Rod The Colbie Caillat & Disney Fan *2022-10-03, version 0.14.31* My Brother Named Tommy Did Something Talented About Boris Is Scared Looking At Aaron From Z Cut! He Was Also Talking To A Lady!. ### 5/5 — PLEASE KEEP THIS APP ! ITS BETTER THAN PLOTAGON *2022-06-27* I love this app and happy I seen it. I haven’t played plotagon in 2 years because of the developers not updating anything new AT ALL ! as in new Hairstyles, Body Types, Actions, and also new Scenes. The reason I’m happy for this app is because of how Zepeto and Plotagon could actually bring in more download rates. In Zepeto you could literally create a character within its face (something Plotagon couldn’t do), better clothes, and also just great details Zepeto characters already have. I just hope you guys put the “Add Your Zepeto Character” option into the game soon as possible because I’m ready to play the game and create my series for my audience. Thank you for this and I hope you guys come soon as possible with the Option, keep up the good work within the app ! :) ### 4/5 — All y’all are dumb *2024-01-07, version 0.16.3* Plotagon is made by the same people who made this ### 4/5 — This app is great, but it needs another thing *2023-10-26* This app is excellent and I love it but when I try to play with the popcorn when I watch the ad to get free things whenever it says I want to ask for the day when I go back to see how much I have it takes 1000 popcorn away and I sometimes win I go back to playing my movie. The characters are talking so I had to go to my tabs and edit it out and then sometimes when I try to watch my movie, it doesn’t load. Do you think that you can make a better but I love you if you could fix these things --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
