I didn't expect Fiverr to build an app like this. It's an interesting example of app constellations being applied to marketplaces. Why did you build for this use case (drawing faces), @ariked?
Ariel
@rrhoover We love surprising and delighting. Glad you like the app -- have you ordered your new face yet? ;-) Fiverr Faces is part of a bigger push to strengthen Fiverr's position across different verticals, beginning with creative design (it's one of our most popular categories on our mobile app). Looking to shine a light on other categories soon.

@rrhoover @ariked sure you are checking into logo generators/creator also, guess there's a huge market there ;)

At first I wasn't sure what this had to do with Fiverr, but I think I got it now. It lets me hire artists for 5 bucks to turn my photo into a cartoon. Is that right @ariked?
Ariel
@andrewwarner yes, but not for $5. prices are starting at $10 :) but it's now free for the first 500 orders...

@ariked Great niche and looks quite fun, kudos. I have tried to get a face but it did not work. To get the free face I understand that you need to share a link, but even after doing so (I tried messenger and twitter) nothing happens and I have the message "You have no active orders". Any idea of what is going on?

@ariked @jhondel I am experiencing the same thing. Server overload?
Ariel
@jhondel Can u please try the Facebook share? Sorry for the inconvenience…

Similar to French Girls - trying this now! :)
Adam Ceresko
@bramk Thanks for the mention Bram. This is nothing more than a clone of our basic technology.
Andrew Torba
@bramk I was thinking the same thing. The FG team has been in this space for a few years now and has a phenomenal community.

Cool to see that Fiverr built it's first app around one vertical. Definitely love the caricatures :)
Tom Masiero
Really smart.. I'm sure companies could create services just based off the demand of what's popular in Fiverr.

I think this is a fantastic example of a Zoom-In Pivot, spotting a single feature/niche and defining an entire product around it. Also, this feels like something that's 100% aligned with PH users - jaw-dropping selfie avatars? Became a paying user this am :)
Jack Smith
secret: I got my avatar designed on fiverr about ~4-5 years ago.

@_jacksmith Why'd you go with the crazy eyes and mouth? You're one of the most calm and thoughtful people I ever met.
Jack Smith
@andrewwarner because I thought of myself as quite crazy, with wacky ideas etc. - but you're right, it's probably no longer very fitting, as nowadays I don't have as much energy and am a bit more relaxed

@Arik I just checked out in the app using ApplePay and it crashed! How do I know if the order went through?
Ariel
@jazzychad Please send an email to our support - SupportFaces@fiverr.com , they will help you with it. thanks :)
Sean Acres
@ariked Absolutely love the idea. My profile pic definitely needs some refreshing. That being said, the app is crashing after I pay through Apple Pay and deleting the selfie I took. Tried PayPal, it doesn't crash but it also doesn't take me to PayPal. Are you guys seeing failures in your in-app payment flows? Please! Take my money!
Ariel
@seanacres thanks! Will check and update you asap :-)

Unfortunately another example of "fancy" scrolling which makes this site impossible to view from an iPhone - can't even really see the samples.
Ariel
Fiverr Faces uses curated collection of top artists to create quickly designed, high-quality caricatures in artistic style of their choice. Fiverr Faces is a simple, easy-to-use package of the services Fiverr has been offering for five years.
RocketClub
Hmm. Noticing a lot of companies working on side projects/websites to hack additional visibility on PH
Irving Torres
@angeladopter If PH is an incentive for companies to create fun, quirky, or useful side projects then I'm all for it!
Lauren Preston
Great move on Fiverr's end. I wonder how many more vertical apps they'll create and if they chose this one based on the amount of demand on Fiverr for selfie caricatures?
Brandon R.
Are the artists paid? @ariked
Ariel
@optiquest21 Sure! Our artist set their prices and get paid :)
Alexandru Chirițescu
Any chance for an Android version? :)
Ariel
@alexchiri We currently have no plans to offer Fiverr Faces on Android but as we develop future apps, we’ll consider introducing them across a variety of platforms.
Greg Hundermark
@ariked What happened to this? Was this retired or does it still exist someplace?
Ariel
@ghundermark Fiverr decided to focus on their main business, so Faces is no longer available for over a year.
Jesse Leimgruber
I'm buying one now. Will follow up on results.
