Full reviews: Faceover · Rehancer

Faceover, historically a popular face-swapping app, has recently faced backlash for its shift to a subscription model and AI-focused features, leading to user frustration over paywalls and reduced functionality.

Head to head

Features and Functionality edge: FaceoverR3R5R11R13
Faceover Faceover was once praised for its simple, effective manual face-swapping capabilities, allowing users to easily replace faces and match photo characteristics R5R33. However, recent updates have introduced AI-driven features that users find inferior, removing the beloved manual cut-and-paste option R36R38R22. Many users report the app now frequently crashes, gets stuck during processing, or fails to load photos, rendering it unusable R3R11R13R15.
Rehancer Rehancer offers features like background removal, aging enhancement, gender swap, and cartoon effects R61R64R72. However, many users report that core features, even after payment, do not work, such as the aging enhancer failing to detect faces or producing no noticeable changes R64. The gender swap feature is also criticized for poor results R72.
Ease of Use edge: FaceoverR5R10R22R33
Faceover Faceover was historically considered easy to learn and use, even for non-tech-savvy individuals R5R33. However, recent updates have made the user interface overly complicated and crowded with AI features, making it less intuitive R22. Some users also find the process time-consuming R10.
Rehancer Rehancer's usability is hampered by its aggressive monetization. Users find it difficult to access features without constantly paying or earning coins, which detracts from the user experience . The app's functionality issues also make it frustrating to use R64.
Price and Value tieR4R7R9R12
Faceover Faceover has shifted from a free app with optional IAPs or one-time purchases to a mandatory subscription model, costing around $6.99 a week or $28 a month R12R18R22R48. This change has angered many long-time users who feel it's a 'bait and switch' and that the app is no longer worth the cost, especially given the reduced functionality and ads R4R7R9R12.
Rehancer Rehancer is a 'Free + IAP' app but is heavily criticized for requiring payment or a substantial amount of 'coins' for almost all features beyond basic background removal R61R67R72. Users feel it's a 'scam' and not worth the money, especially since many paid features don't work R64. The coin system is seen as a 'carnival game' to lure users into spending .
Reliability and Performance tieR3R6R11R12
Faceover Faceover has significant reliability issues, with users reporting frequent crashes, the app kicking them out, freezing during processing, and getting stuck at 94% completion R3R6R11R12. Photos often fail to load correctly from the camera roll R12.
Rehancer Rehancer also suffers from reliability problems. Users report features like the aging enhancer not working, the babyface feature jumping back, and the app not opening at all R64. Some users also experience an excessive number of ads, making the app difficult to use .
Customer Support edge: FaceoverR13R15
Faceover Faceover's customer support appears to be non-existent or unresponsive. Users paying for subscriptions report being unable to contact the developer, with contact emails not working and no response to support requests R13R15.
Rehancer There are no reviews explicitly mentioning Rehancer's customer support, either positively or negatively.
Pick Faceover if

Evidence note: Both apps have a significant number of negative reviews, particularly regarding recent updates and monetization strategies. Faceover's reviews show a clear decline in user satisfaction after a shift to a subscription model and AI features, with many long-term users expressing disappointment.

  1. [R3] Faceover 3/5 · US Cool ap. Buggy: Had to uninstall it several times in order to make it work from one photo prank to another
  2. [R5] Faceover 5/5 · US Effective & easy to learn: I downloaded it and was able to get what I wanted done within 15 minutes. I replaced a face in an old b&w photo with one from a new color photo. The software took the color and matched it to the old b&w very well. The hi-resolution down grades to the same grainy look too. Nicely done!
  3. [R11] Faceover 4/5 · US Update is Bugged: The last update made it not work, the app kicks me out without loading anything.
  4. [R13] Faceover 4/5 · US crashed: This app has not worked in over two weeks. I have tried multiple ways to get support. I have no response from the developer. I am paying for a subscription. It is fun when working but if no value without support.
  5. [R10] Faceover 1/5 · US Sucks: Easy to use but time consuming
  6. [R22] Faceover 1/5 · US Unusable: I have used this app for years. It used to be perfect- manually copy a section of a photo and paste it on top of another. It was perfect because of its simplicity. Now it’s literally unusable. Not only is the user interface overly complicated, it’s also crowded with tons of ai garbage. On top of all that, you can’t use it anymore at all- that’s right. Unless you decide to pay $28 a month
  7. [R33] Faceover 5/5 · GB Best face app ever !!!!!: So easy to use this app I’m old 50 and not really tech savvy but that wasn’t a problem with this app had some fun swapping faces
  8. [R4] Faceover 1/5 · US What Happened?: This app use to be so fun and easy to use now it’s absolutely terrible
  9. [R7] Faceover 1/5 · US Bad cancellation policy: App cancelled but still being billed
  10. [R9] Faceover 3/5 · GB Ruined the app!: Had this app about 3 years and it’s always been great Now it’s changed and completley ruined. I like to paste my own pics in my album not random stuff available by the app. Had to delete it
  11. [R12] Faceover 1/5 · US Worst app on planet earth: I miss the old simple version. Just some few things below 1.No button to access free version - forces you to do paid free trial. 2. Some photos on your cameras roll won’t show up no matter how many times you save it 3. Finally when ready to make a photo you have to watch a 1 minute unskippable stupid video 4. App crashes randomly Lastly if your SOMEHOW able gene
  12. [R6] Faceover 3/5 · US Still locks up: This app is great except some songs always stop at 94%. If this was fixed, I would give 5 stars.
  13. [R15] Faceover 5/5 · US Bump in the road: Purchased the Faceover Pro. It worked great for a few months but then would freeze in the “processing” task when switching face photos. The contact email does not work so I’m unable to contact them to fix the problem. Faceover please fix the problems.
  14. [R18] Faceover 1/5 · US This app is annoying and greedy: You have to pay for premium to use the app like you genuinely can’t use the features ONCE it’s horrible and the app is probably ai slop
  15. [R48] Faceover 1/5 · US $6.99 a week??????: $6.99 a week????? Thanks for selling out.
  16. [R61] Rehancer 1/5 · US Bruh: This app only allows you to remove background for free. Everything else you need to pay for it
  17. [R64] Rehancer 1/5 · US Aging enhancer doesn’t work.: “No face was detected. Please try again.” I just bought the yearly subscription because there wasn’t a free trial and the app doesn’t even work!
  18. [R67] Rehancer 1/5 · US NoooooooooooDo not get this app I HATE it: 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠This app is horrible You haft to pay for anything to work! Warning do NOT get this app!😤😤😤😤😤
  19. [R72] Rehancer 3/5 · US Not so great: As I went onto the app to try the gender swap I first of all charged you coins to do it so what that means is it only starts you with about 80 coins so you have to watch videos in order to gain more. I did that and paid my 100 coins for the gender swap and it didn’t work well at all. I tried female and male and I basically looked the exact same.
  20. [R36] Faceover 1/5 · US App was great until: App was cool until they decided to go full ai with new update so went ahead and canceled. It’s not even good ai either like it was much more fun when you could cut and paste as you wanted now everything is with ai. As with anything with ai. The creativity of the user is lost. No point of paying yet alone having
  21. [R38] Faceover 2/5 · US Terrible AI Update: They just updated the app and made it entirely AI, and it’s not good AI, completely taking away the Manual option to edit which was far superior. Canceled subscription.
