Ratings and reviews

It might be ready for 12 of the 13 phones listed, but not the S8. I downloaded it with no issues, it installed, but no way to access the program. No icon, no "Open" button in Google Play Store, no directory hidden or visible on device or sd card. I'll try to download it again in a couple of days. Will definitely change my star rating once I can play with it myself. The videos and reviews look fantastic. Can't wait. Please fix.

For those who have no idea what this app is even for: This provides apps on the phone with a way to use the camera and sensors to put a 3D object into your camera view. It's called augmented reality, and it's not a new thing, but Google opted to make it easier to do. Making it an app instead of hiding it in the firmware means faster updates. it works well enough, though is limited to a demo for. The world object detection is a bit... blah.

Have been attempting to use the supported AR function on the Replika app — and all I can hear is my camera clicking, attempting, for some reason, but yet never picks anything up, and only states to "move my phone to start", shows me a black screen, and that's it. Not sure if this has to do with my device "functionality", or the Replika app itself but, it sucks, because it doesn't work. Would be nice if it ever did 💯
