VIVIBUDS: Social Animation App 12+

The app itself is very glitchy. It often force closes or gives the blue screen of death in the midst of normal activity within the app. Whether you are scrolling through the feed, trying to create new videos, attempting to change your avatars style, etc.

In regards to editing your videos in the app, if you don’t have the patience of a saint, or the presence of mind to save your video (which may or may not force close the app) consistently throughout your edit, then it’s possible to lose all your progress. Sometimes the app will recognize that it force closed and will allow you to return to the video you were working on, but it’s pretty hit or miss.

As for the in game currency. They give you 10k to start with, which seems like a lot until you begin to notice the item pricing. Most items run between 50-200 in game currency. It’s easy to burn through that, which results in needing to do your daily activities to make more currency. However, those in game activities involve actions that typically force close the app repeatedly. If you have the patience to reload the app continuously you will eventually manage to make about 180-200 in game currency each day.

On to the avatars you can design. In terms of features (eyes lips nose hair etc) it is pretty decent for being a new app, and you can vary the colors of those items pretty nicely. The options for clothing, especially for male characters is extremely limited and lacking in diversity. Female avatars have a bit larger range of clothing but it’s still relatively limited right now. I am sure that will change the longer the game is available since it’s a new app.

All in all, it has potential to be a good app, but if you are downloading it currently, then patience will be key to find any enjoyment in the app.

Will update in a few months time based on improvements to the app or lack thereof!

I expected better optimization from Cocone. The clothing options you have are quite limited (or maybe just not my style), and cost in game currency that feels like a chore to get because of how slow the app is. On top of that, when you try making a video/clip, the editor will begin to bug out to the point it won’t function. The actual video itself will glitch, and the animations dont save the parameters of your character

I got the app and started making my avatar. I finished making it and naming it, and when i clicked complete, the screen turned blue with a pop up saying there was an error. I clicked ok, and then the pop up went away but the screen stayed a plain blue screen.
