What A Fun App!

Sometimes, making a good app is like a recipe, and this one adds so many of the right ingredients. Using it is pure fun, thanks to animation skill levels that allow you to select between simple and complex for good animation detail, various ways to input sound including Text-To-Speech, and even very realistic teeth models that can be adjusted any number of ways to fit characters, so it doesnt look odd when theyre talking. This app doesnt pretend to be more than cute, but I do believe that properly adjusted animations can yield results that are very close to realistic.

Ive given this app five stars, because its so cool to use, but I do have a wish list, and there are some features that could still use a little fine tuning. Not every image works well with animation. Characters looking directly into the camera work best. If a head is at an angle, or looking up into the camera, the results can be more mutant than lifelike. But with the right characters, the results are strikingly good.

I also really like the included Text-To-Speech engine, but the included United States voices do need work. Even with careful text entry, the characters sound like theyre speaking with an accent, that sounds sort of like a cross between French and Czechoslovakian. Additional voice packs are available for Windows users, but sadly none for the Mac. That needs to be fixed.

Yes there is room for improvement, but its a brand new app with really cool potential, and its already a blast to use as it is, so five stars.
