User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆Data harvesting, no privacy
I thought this app was ok until I decided to take a look at the developers privacy policy at the App Store. Look at the data this developer collects that is “linked to your identity”. This is completely uneccessary and to be honest, very unsettling.
Response to Developer: Than why does your privacy policy show that the data your collecting is linked to my identity? Why not categorize this data collected as not linked to my identity? And why do you need location data?
★★★★★Amazing!
This app is awesome, there's so much versatility and you can even choose the complexion of the thing your drawing. You can get any angle which makes it very helpful. Definitely recommend!
★★★★☆It’s pretty handy
Yeah, honestly it is pretty good. It does have a downsize. It gets a little complicated for other than that. It’s a great app.
★★★★☆Great App but…
It is a great app, if a bit clunky at times to go from one page to another. But the only real problem that I see with it, is the lack a diversity other than age, gender, and race. Now many apps allow you to make subtle adjustment to all the parts of the face, and that is a very useful feature. The hand portion of Handy has achieved that level of sophistication. Now what about the faces? Hair would also be nice. Most women I know have hair or a wig.
★★★☆☆Please allow us to import our own models
A solid base for an app! Though, the actual reference models don’t have a huge amount of of variety or mobility. Please let us upload our own 3d model assets or add more in the future! It would work really well with those full body pose apps that let you export a polygon mesh
