Used to be good. I used this for 11 years, consistently. no exaggeration. 11 years. My family literally calls me the bitmoji guy because i use it for all the holidays and sometimes even outside of that... Now the avatars look like your typical AI aliens. Let me know when you fix it so I can re-install. Also, fix your app pictures. It's false advertising for what you're actually getting.
Reviews for Bitmoji
The art style changed to a 3-D and it does NOT look good. Everything is very pixeley, and looks weird. I dont know if it's using AI now, but it definitely has an AI-looking vibe, how things are kind of "off", but you can't tell what. I definitely prefer the art style where it had black outlined and looked more "drawn". The integration into my messages and stuff still works fine, and I like the options it comes up with, I just HATE the new art style now.
STOP CHANGING THE APPEARANCE OF THE AVATARS!! The original was awesome, and it's just gotten progressively worse. The new look is just terrible. But the most annoying thing is when you go to send a Bitmoji and it looks nothing like you anymore! I opened it after the most recent 3D update and I looked like a completely different person, so I either had to send a picture that wasn't accurate at all, or spend the time adjusting the avatar AGAIN! Pick a style and stay with it 🤬
I've loved this app for years and frequently use my bitmoji in all of my chats. However, I am very unhappy with the sudden switch from the classic 2D stylistic images to a more realistic 3D image that honestly creeps me out a bit (uncanny valley maybe?). I wish they would have provided warning about the switch and I wish there was an option to stick with the original, familiar style or switch to the new one. I may eventually get used to the new style, but I don't think I'll enjoy/use it as much
I totally loved this app until they took away the 2D imaging! 😔 While they say they went to 3D for users to have a more realistic experience, the whole point of having a Bitmoji was to have an ANIMATED version of you, not something that looks blurry & robotic. I wish they'd at least give users the option of choosing between 2D & 3D, then everyone would be happy. If no changes are made, will probably delete b/c I won't use this version.
Honestly, the 3D update is just disappointing. It feels outdated, especially with the still cartoon/2D backgrounds, and somehow it doesn't look like me anymore. it used to be fun and adorable sending them to friends, and now I click in the app and it just makes me sad. I wish we could have the option to revert back. Let people decide which version they want to use.
For seven or eight years, my family and I have used this as our go-to app for expressing ourselves in a cute, fun way. Since the update and bizarre avatar change, not one of us looks like we used to; and, despite our best efforts, we can't tweak them enough to even slightly resemble ourselves. So disappointing. If I don't look like myself, there's no point in using the app. Uninstall.
The update is really creepy looking; I had 5 stars in 2022 but have to drop it to 1. I can't speak for others but the appeal of a cartoon version of myself was to silly to pass up; my cartoon me was fun and cute and looked like me. The new version is creepy, not fun to look at and is washed out version of cartoon me, it was awesome! The new version is too "realistic" and doesn't capture the fun it used to have. Ill hold on for a little while longer for a hopeful change before I delete.
The latest update is horrible. The "3D" look is blurry, creepy, and honestly just bad. It's like they were trying to make the pictures look realistic, but the backgrounds are still cartoony so it just looks awkward. I wish they just stuck with the original cartoon format or at the very least gave users the option to opt out of the "upgrade". Classic case of fixing something that wasn't broken and making it worse.
This used to be one of my favorite apps. I'm so sad they took the 2D version away. The two-dimensional characters felt like little comics of me and my family and friends. The 3D version just doesn't have the same charm, because it doesn't feel like comics anymore. If they could add an option to slide 3D on and off, that would be fine by me. They could call it "Bitmoji classic" and "Bitmoji 3D" or something like that. There are so many 3D avatars out there. The 2D had unique charm, like a comic!
