User Reviews

Live Link Face is valued for Unreal Engine mocap via Live Link, with strong integration and production-pipeline potential. However, it suffers widespread stability and compatibility problems: crashes after updates, camera permissions failures, black screen startup issues, depth-data/transfer errors, and unreliable head tracking. Some devices/OS versions (e.g., iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17, iOS 26) appear affected. Overall, the concept and Live Link advantage are clear, but broad fixes are needed before it can be reliably used in production.

Pros

Strong Unreal Engine Live Link integration for facial mocap data
Can transfer mocap data into Unreal via Live Link, fitting production pipelines
Positive outlook on Live Link and Apple AR as forward-looking features

Cons

Crashes and general instability after updates (notably since iOS 26)
Camera permission activation issues on newer iOS versions (iOS 17)
Startup issues manifesting as black screens or missing camera feed
Depth data problems, including missing depth data and transfer/file format errors
Head tracking reliability issues (head rotation data often zero/unreliable; eyebrow tracking poor)

Recent reviews

I love and appreciate this app. Minor issue: External mics used to be recognized but not anymore.

The most recent update broke audio input and now I can’t record audio with anything other than the iPhone front microphone. Completely unusable for things like DJI, headphones, or any other audio types
