Crashes often

Hi there, been a Voki fan for years! This app while awesome crashes when you press the play button after you hear the audio bit. Plus it took too long to “download characters” when they aren’t all free which makes no sense. There are so few that are free and I don’t see why they aren’t all free. It’s very frustrating.

Potential But Not Yet

This program has really great potential for use in a classroom. I was looking for something where children could create avatars and have them interact and this would be what I was looking for. However, it is not accessible with screen reader software and navigation of the online version seems overwhelming. Also, every time I opened the app it crashed, even after deleting and reinstalling. In addition, it is not cost effective for teachers. It seems that the real value comes with the higher pay tiers. Well, how can you afford that on a teacher's sallary–especially in preschool–when we have so many other expenses. Voki has tremendous possibility to transform the classroom but it is far from that day. Keep working on it. I'll keep watching.

Hi - we have fixed most if not all crashing problems - please consider giving it another go when you get a chance. You are right in pointing out that teachers who are paid subscribers (at voki.com) can get a lot more from the app - for starters, all their students have free access to all voki characters. I hear you about the cost - and we have kept it as low as possible, realizing that in many cases teachers pay for it themselves. But - good news - we now have a *School Version* available - which is an even more economical way to go. Lobby your school!

voki review from teacher
I love the Voki program and I have used the website for years. The talking characters really engage students! I just recently tried the app and I was disappointed by the lack of characters to select from. The app does not offer any of the fairytale characters or the career characters. These were the two categories that I selected images from the most. I was disappointed that the selection on the website didn’t match the options on the app. One good change was a new feature allowing paying subscribers to download the videos. Now, my videos play automatically when inserted in a slideshow.

Constantly getting better

I fell in love with Voki when it was first got released; it keeps getting better, which I like...I do think it can continue to get better. Here are some of the things I want as new features since my last review I noticed they are really listening:1. I want to be able to move the avatar and position it anywhere I want. 2. I want to have more production features such as lighting features just like filming. 3. I want more freedom to animate the avatars 4. I want to be able to create sequences with my avatars. 5 I want to be able to make my avatar have dialogue with another avatar on the set . Please work on some of those featuresThanks...
