TokkingHeads AI Magic Avatars 4+

Pleasantly Surprised

I thought this was going to be a semi goofy app partially because of the logo design and was curious to see what their spin was. After loading it felt a little sub par and then it told me there was an upgrade. I installed it and tried some of the basic celebrity type features and the distortions were a little better than others but they encourage minimal movement so it makes sense. I thought I was going to spend 5 minutes total in it but the app actually gives you more control over voice audio photos videos etc and has the potential of being something pretty darn cool. I was impressed with the amount of creations they allowed before having to watch an add. With the adds they were shorter and had an easy exit instead of tricking you to click the sponsor. Each transition and feature with create freedom shows some real thought behind it and not a desperation for funds. I didn’t purchase it yet but will and congrats to your team and I look forward to future enhancements. With the level of controls you have introduced it would be neat to see some facial recognition or LiDAR 3D images or vector images to really make this top of the line . Highly recommend from and IT architect/engineer who works with ML and AI

Loads of Fun! 😁

I like this app because it appeared to be the only AI animation app that allows you to upload a pre-recorded video for your photo to be animated to. It’s just what I was looking for. I got the $3.99 weekly subscription. I’m having loads of fun with it! Some things to note: It seems that you can only upload pre-recorded videos up to 20 sec. Anything over would not process. Make sure the video is a straight-on, clear shot, of a person talking or singing. And make sure the photo you choose is also a clear, head-on face, that is centered in the frame. If you got all of that, the video comes out perfectly! It also didn’t take long to generate or save the created content 😀

So happy you are having fun with Tokkingheads. We love to hear from our users!

Blurry and crashing

Video comes out extremely blurry so that you can’t see it. So I got the subscription. It doesn’t give you the video upgrade in app. They say they’ll email you a link to the higher resolution version of the video you’re trying to make. Welp, they never did the email. Checked spam folder as well. And when I try to click around in the app, it crashes and closes out. It’s not usable. Waste of money for me. They haven’t updated the app in 5 months. Apple needs to remove it from the AppStore. I should have checked the one star critical reviews first. Especially since many are recent.

Don’t get the subscription. Apple will not refund you. Even if you explain that you never received what you paid for, they will still deny you the refund. They don’t enforce things like this, so the refund is out of their policy, based on what their representative told me. I thought the App Store was better than this. There’s no accountability.
