Mirror: Emoji & Avatar Maker

I thought you could use any image and it would shrink it down into a tiny emoji, like this ☺️ or this 🌺 or this🍕, ya know, an emoji. Alright fine it just does stickers. That’s still cool but when you go to start it has you select a “style” and there’s two options, random shirt and looks very different from me each time I did it. It kind of got my hair right on the second try which I give props for. Then you select one of the two “styles” and go through the next step. The next step is to select different features of the face and hair and what not. Barely any options making it not very customizable at all. Maybe 30 different styles of hair or less. The skin tones are lacking, it should be simple to include every skin tone, but there is only 12! The clothing option is just the top half of a shirt for males. The eye makeup options are very few. I either can have no eyelashes or full on fake lashes 🤦🏼 the fact that this app is advertised as making emojis out of an image is not true. It makes stickers and an avatar for it. I wanted an app that can turn any picture, even if it’s just a face picture into a tiny tiny emoji like this ☺️but instead of yellow, it is a real image just tiny. They did a really good job with the graphics though but for the price they charge they can easily put way more stuff. Maybe it’s because I only have the trial, but still.

I’m enjoying it so far but a few more facial options would be nice when creating my emoji, like having my emoji smiling-I’m always smiling, and eye shapes, eyebrow shapes and nose shapes. I really love that you have so many conversation “stickers” I think you call them. I love that I can create emojis for my friends on my phone book. A negative is that Mirror actually started some of them and one BIG ERROR is that it put a female body on one of my obviously male friends-I don’t know any females named “Mark”. I’ve tried to redo it but have been unsuccessful. I even took his info out of my contact list and put him in again, using his middle name, and restarted my phone but his name didn’t appear on the list. How do I fix it?

This is a fun app! There are plenty of apps out there promising to help you create your own personal emoji/sticker/avatar, but they require a lot of work and the finished product may or may not resemble you (reminiscent of creating Mii characters on the Nintendo Wii). This app is different—snap a selfie using the app’s camera or select one from your photo library, and the AI does 90% of the work for you! You can just go with the stickers created for you, or make numerous tweaks and customizations from hair color/style to hats and earrings. It’s simple and fun. The app also comes with tons of stickers and emojis featuring you! Very cool. It also supports a number of languages which it incorporates into the stickers. Also very cool. The keyboard it provides makes it easy to use your custom stickers with any chat app. This is a very well thought out product and lots of fun. My only suggestion/requested feature for a future update involves the two-person stickers. When adding a second person’s photo to create “couple stickers,” it would be nice to have an option to specify the relationship between you and the other person (platonic friend, spouse/significant other, parent, child, siblings, etc.) so that the stickers generated of the two of you are appropriate to your relationship with each other. Yes, there are plenty of stickers to choose from, so you can choose to use the appropriate ones and avoid e.g. proposing to your brother, but the added functionality re relationship of the parties would be nice to see in a future update. Great app!
