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?
@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.
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?
@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?
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 :)
@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
@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!
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.
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?
@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.
