### 1/5 — Only works on close up face image

*2020-11-15, version 1.1.0*

Deficient

### 1/5 — Awful app!!

*2020-04-10*

You have to drastically crop your image to even use the program and then it repeatedly says “does not detect face” to 80% of my images. Then if you manage to find an image that actually works with the app it turns you more orange than tan.. I’d like my 99 cents back 🤦🏽‍♀️

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2019-10-21, version 1.1.0*

You have to have a face in your picture or else it doesn’t work. Waste of my money

### 1/5 — Terrible app needs work

*2019-08-28, version 1.1.0*

This app is not worth the money. Makes you look like you have sun damage and pigmentation. Also doesn’t pick up your face in the majority of pictures

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!!!

*2019-06-22*

This is the absolute worst app! I tried over 10 pictures and it wouldn’t “recognize” any of them.

### 1/5 — Waste of 99cents

*2019-02-08*

Makes you look orange!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-11-20*

Has to find a face in the photo to work, doesn’t work on the rest of the body. Garbage app!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t detect faces easily

*2018-07-05*

I’m got this app opposed to others as its supposed to auto detect faces but in reality, it doesn’t. Definitely don’t recommend. Can I get my 99 cents back? 😂

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2018-07-01*

This gets one star when it really deserves zero bc it says there is no face when there is and it’s centered and zoomed in this app is terrible!!!!!! #donotdownload

### 1/5 — Sucks!

*2018-06-10, version 1.1.0*

This app does not recognize a face. Wish I never purchased it. Apple or whoever is in charge shouldn’t be allowing this for sale.
