### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2018-05-22*

This is absolute garbage. It just increases saturation, something you could do in the default photo app. Waste of money

### 1/5 — 99 cents wasted

*2018-05-08*

Do NOT waste your money on this app. I went to use it and it doesn’t even work. I tried every picture from literally every angle I could and no matter what I tried it said “no face found.” This app is a scam and does not work at all- do NOT recommend.

### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK!!

*2018-02-23, version 1.1.0*

Where can I get a refund?

### 1/5 — Absolute Worthless Garbage

*2018-02-02*

Out of 45 pictures I tried - all full-on selfies looking straight at the camera, both taken through the app as well as uploaded from library, only ONE was recognized. The other 44 it kept giving me an error message saying “couldn’t find a face”. 
If it can’t find a face when it’s staring right at it, then I really don’t know how they expect this app to work.
Very crudely made. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Don't!

*2017-10-21, version 1.0*

It doesn't work and eats the photo anyway!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-07-18, version 1.0*

Doesn't even do a full body. Only an up close picture of a face. Terrible app

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2016-12-31*

Doesn't work. Wish I could return it. Don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2016-08-25, version 1.0*

Don't expect results like the icon imply

### 1/5 — Not good!

*2016-06-11*

Fist time i use its works second time doesn't work anymore it says cant find face its crazy! Wasted money!

### 1/5 — THE WORST!!

*2015-07-13, version 1.0*

If you're not directly facing the camera in your picture it won't be able to detect you, forcing you to zoom in on your face and then automatically cropping your photo to the close size. The tan color is orange and if you haven't airbrushed your face expect your new completion to be blotchy. So in conclusion you're left with a super close up of your orange blotchy face. You're much better off spending your money on a bottle of fake tan.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2014-11-24, version 1.0*

Not worth the money. Doesn't recognize any faces. Pointless to use.

### 1/5 — Don't get this app

*2014-11-20, version 1.0*

It doesn't tan your body, only your face and even then it doesn't do it properly. It leaves you patchy and often can't even locate your face

### 1/5 — App improvement

*2014-03-27, version 1.0*

This app struggles to find your face and when found on a different pic the tan is all blotchy and not how it looks on the example I would just sum it up as fake advertisement and a waste of 69p you could spend on other things

### 1/5 — I want my money Back

*2014-01-04*

never detect my face ! people do not waste your money 😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — 😒

*2013-09-06*

This app is good when it actually works. Like 90% of the time it doesn't work. It always says 'does not detect a face'.

### 1/5 — Dont buy

*2013-09-05*

Waste of money dosent work

### 1/5 — Skin condition tan.

*2013-02-15, version 1.0*

This app needs a lot of work. It struggles to locate the face, it doesn't do a tan on photos of your body, just a close up of a face. It will only do one face, not a group shot. When it does work, it makes it look like you have a pigment problem or a skin condition. Red, patchy rash. I wish I hadn't wasted my money. Don't waste yours.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2013-01-27*

Only darkens part of the picture leaving strange splotches

### 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.

### 5/5 — Works smoothly

*2018-03-30*

This app works great and does what it says it will do.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2018-01-31*

I’m really puzzled by the review that says it doesn’t work, because I have had nothing but great success. It makes my profile pics looks great, and I can get a subtle effect or an all-out tan when I want it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-05-24*

When you follow the instructions it works awesome! It is going to be perfect when my vacation tan goes away and I am pasty white again! Looks natural no snooki orange
