  1. [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!
  2. [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
  3. [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
  4. [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
  5. [R10] Faceover 1/5 · US Sucks: Easy to use but time consuming
  6. [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
  7. [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
  8. [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.
  9. [R11] Faceover 4/5 · US Update is Bugged: The last update made it not work, the app kicks me out without loading anything.
  10. [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
  11. [R28] Faceover 1/5 · US Disappointed: I’ve been using this app for years and I was loving it. Now they have a screen for “pay for premium” and you can’t use the app anymore without paying for premium. Just bring back the ads, they’re annoying but better than paying for a monthly subscription for an app I use maybe 4 times a year.
  12. [R7] Faceover 1/5 · US Bad cancellation policy: App cancelled but still being billed
  13. [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.
  14. [R14] Faceover 1/5 · US Scam: If you try clicking either terms, privacy, or restore it directs you to a scam alert in safari/chrome. You can’t even read the terms before agreeing to the subscription. Scary practice.
  15. [R30] Faceover 1/5 · US AI interferes: Their ai won’t let you build and have the fun you may want to have with a face swap. Then must sign up for a $7 subscription before you can even try
  16. [R64] Celebrity Look Alike & AI Art 1/5 · US TERRIBLE: I hate it it’s bad I don’t recommend it you have pay for it just for one photo and don’t even get to see the photo for free to see if you like the app! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
  17. [R67] Celebrity Look Alike & AI Art 1/5 · US 17.99 to use: Downloaded the app, uploaded picture,$17.99/ week to use. Deleted.
  18. [R70] Celebrity Look Alike & AI Art 1/5 · US Doesn’t work well: App sucked and was hard to use in a sense that anytime I tried the features I get the same pop up 100 times to subscribe.. after I already subscribed… Paid $17.99 to use it and additionally after paying I would use the different AI features to generate a photo and it would not work when I’d click to complete. Bogus, dumb, and pretty much stole $17.99 from me to use and never w
  19. [R76] Celebrity Look Alike & AI Art 1/5 · US ARE YOU KIDDING ME: I JUST WANNA FIND MY CELEB TWIN! BUT EVERY APP NEEDS OAYMENT OR IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS! THIS BY FAR THE WORST THIS MUST BE A JOKE! 17.99 A WEEK ARE YOU KIDDING ME, RIDICULOUS! MAKE YOUR APP A LITTLE BETTER BEFORE WE CAN EVEN GET UP TO PAYING 1 CENT
