Pros and cons of AlienAvatar: 3D Alienizer app for iPhone and iPad

AlienAvatar: 3D Alienizer app good for

My parents (who work in film) thought it was amazing! I  it!
Nice app but could use more alien templates and a option to save and send video, currently it will only allow pictures.
An example of how much better iPhone apps are getting! I think this is going to be a huge hit!
Quick entertainment for those bored moments when you need a laugh. MotionPortrait should expand this app to more funny creatures and reactions.
Love it but it needs to stop crashing on my iPhone 5 still best one out there still no update to the crashing if that was fixed it be killer
Very cool app. I just wish the recorded videos were much longer that 14 secs :)

Some bad moments

This App is good and price also reasonable but i think this app need connection,and i am bit worry if my picture is first going to their server, then coming back to iphone again, if work without connection then i like this app with this price. without connection not working.
Not the worst app in the store, but its still pretty lame. Good for a few minutes, but no more. You could spend money on way worse things in the App Store.
Face recognition difficulties, can only save as photo (not video), avatar on splash screen not available. Could be worse, but could be a lot better...
I thought the problem was FB it is not coz other pics upload without any problem. Fix this issue now or give me my money back!!!!!
Following the basic instructions, I still only hit 1 in 5 very slow conversions. The face recognization in this app is weak.
Could not write a review because app did not download properly.
