Accurate for facial Phenotypes

I discovered this app on TikTok, I really wish this was was even a bit more popular since its well thought of and built well, does go into detail describing the face and other phenotypes that match the face. After getting my face scanned, I finally see why people think I am a certain Ethnicity.

I tried again months later, and unfortunately my payment went through but it’s not letting me scan anymore which I had to repurchase the second time and still didn’t process anything. I don’t know whats going on but hope the app is fixable and will function again.
