4/5Pls add walking
It is a very good app but is so hard to make it look like it is walking I have to use stuffy and move the character at the same time in order to make it look like it’s walking in super hard it doesn’t look that bad you should add a button that makes it work one direction or the other direction

5/5Plz add hair
Dear creators, I have just downloaded this app and I know that ya’ll will most likely not read this and just ignore it but if someone wants to draw hair on their puppet then it can only be not even to sholder length like grandpa hair, it is not all that bad but in your next update(take however long you want to it is your game) can you add a hair attachment option where you get to choose if your character has short hair(sholder length), long hair(half way down the puppet’s back), or very long hair(down to the waist of the puppet) again you do not need to add this but when you decide to do your next update can you consider adding this?(as an option) Again you probably didn’t read this but if you did even if you won’t consider adding this that is okay I will be very happy! -sincerely, a new player

5/5Love the game but
Dear creator, I just wanna say I love the game, but I really want hair. Also this stuff costing money. I didn’t even know it would be costing money. I feel like. that when you use a color, you should have a box on the color wheel thing where you can go back to the same color that she went on instead of me trying to find the color again that is really all what I’m trying to say I just got this game like a day ago and I really wanted to make this been better. Please see this.

5/5Can you add 10 rooms to make puppet?
Dear creators, I heard that your company was better than ever I want to tell you something can you make 10 more rooms so we can add the puppets like for example what if someone wanted to do a gorilla tag video they can do that, so can you please make that new update in February first please, I really need it

5/5it’s good but there’s a BIG issue
If you uninstall the app and come back, you can’t use the microphone and when it tells you to go to settings, the option to use microphone isn’t there and I’m pretty sure the only way to fix it is to just delete the app thus losing all of your puppets
