### 4/5 — Great app, has a bug!

*2026-05-18, version 2.9.62*

Been using this app for 7-8 years now and has been great. It’s simple and easy to use. A few months ago it glitched and moved about a months worth of my first ever photos to the front, so now the ghost photo to frame yourself right is an 8 year old photo. Also my oldest photos no longer have the date and show as 1989. Other than that, I love it

### 2/5 — Pretty good. Needs a few improvements.

*2026-02-26*

Having native camera controls when taking photos would be very useful. Often I end up needing to turn my flash on or off and as that is in the native camera taking screen, adding that would make this app even more useful. Also having the location captured in the image would be amazing.

**Developer response:** Hey there! You can turn flash on and off using the controls in the top left hand corner of the capture screen.

### 4/5 — No date&time feature

*2026-02-14, version 2.9.58*

A date stamp in each photo or by year would be nice.

### 4/5 — Requires a $1 purchase

*2026-01-27, version 2.9.57*

Really good application, minus one star because when you are finally done, you have to pay $1.00 to download the video. this can very easily be bypassed by just downloading all the photos individually (free) and then putting them into capcut or something similarl.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-01-05, version 2.9.56*

Just hit 4 years today, love this app, zero complaints and straight to the point. Will continue to use this for as long as I can.

### 5/5 — Why is this free??

*2026-01-03*

Not to jinx it, but this is the best free app on my phone.

### 5/5 — 11 Years and counting

*2026-01-01*

Been using this app since 2015, going into my 11th year. Keep up the great work - app is very functional!

### 5/5 — Easily best of its kind

*2025-12-28*

I looked at a lot of other selfie a day apps before finally finding this one. It’s perfectly simple and doesn’t have too many useless bells and whistles. Best part for sure is that it’s almost entirely free, with the only charge being a one time charge of one dollar for access to exporting videos, which is honestly worth it considering how much its competitors are charging that is an immediate turn off

### 5/5 — Lovenit

*2025-12-22*

Lovenit

### 4/5 — this app is actually so cool and amazing!!!

*2025-11-16*

easy to use and make videos too! i’ve been taking photos of myself every time i remembered the app existed and it’s so cool to see how i looked everyday!! the only thing is, i recently turned myself into a clown (though i don’t usually need makeup to do that) and i took pictures but not on the app and id love to add the picture in but its not an option. would love to be able to add external photos please!!! love this app and thank you

### 5/5 — Five stars app

*2025-10-27*

I really appreciate using this app. Thank you

### 5/5 — 직관적이고 좋아요

*2025-10-26*

하루 중 무작위 시간에 알림 뜨면 사진 찍으면 끝. 소리 나는 건 좀 아쉽지만요. 동영상 만들기 기능도 좋아요.

**Developer response:** You can disable the notification sound in the system notification settings for Close-up

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-09-20, version 2.9.51*

Using since 2018 love it.

### 4/5 — It’s free!

*2025-08-30, version 2.9.49*

Love that this app is free, amazing! Thank you! It would be greatly enhanced if it would allow me to resize the images to line up my face to be exactly the same in each photo.

### 5/5 — Scott and his family have

*2025-08-29, version 2.9.49*

### 5/5 — Goated app

*2025-07-21*

This app is so good and I can’t believe it’s free. I’m so lucky to have it.

### 5/5 — Sehr gut 👍  …

*2025-07-06*

Ich Benutze die App seit 2022 und finde es super. Leider kriege ich seit ich ein neues Handy habe keine Benachrichtigungen mehr aber das ist ja auch nicht so schlimm….

### 5/5 — Gonna try it out and see how it goes

*2025-07-03, version 2.9.47*

...

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-07-01*

Would be amazing if I could set one specific selfie as default reference

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — why do u have to pay for pictures of your OWN face

*2026-06-26, version 2.9.64*

the app won’t let you save your video until you’ve paid them, literally used this one for two months just to find out it’s useless

### 1/5 — Auto renew subscription with no easy way to cancel

*2024-12-13, version 2.9.37*

I cannot cancel my subscription and the app isn’t very good

### 1/5 — Needs purchase to share video

*2024-11-22, version 2.9.36*

They added a feature that requires paying to export the video. There is 0 transparency about this anywhere in the app!

### 1/5 — Have to pay to download video

*2023-12-29*

Been using the app for over a year. Decided to download the video today and found out you have to pay in order to do that. You can’t even screen record. Not doing that so instead I recorded the recording on my iPad and sent it to myself. Still a major scam though that they don’t tell you that you need to pay in order to do something one could easily do themselves on Photos

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2023-10-25*

every time you want to Export the Video you have to Pay 99ct they say its a one time purchase but you have to pay everytime 

Jedes Mal wenn man ein Video teilen möchte wird man aufgefordert 99ct zu bezahlen. Sie sagen das ist ein einmalkauf aber man wird jedes Mal wieder gezwungen zu bezahlen wenn man das Video will egal wie oft man auf Restore-Purchase tippt

### 1/5 — PERDI MINHAS FOTOS DESDE 2017

*2023-10-18*

Troquei de celular e mesmo com a opção de DROPBOX sync ele não sincronizou nada! Tinha foto todos os dias desde 2018 e foi por água abaixo! Péssimo

### 1/5 — Finalizing video

*2023-04-17, version 2.8.17*

Makes you pay for video

### 1/5 — Dropbox full

*2023-01-09, version 2.8.16*

I had to stop using this app after 5 years because I refuse to pay extra to Dropbox. My Dropbox is full and that’s the only way it lets you save the pics (that’s the only thing linked to Dropbox). Also, I didn’t used to have to pay to get the video. Such a shame all these apps that were awesome get greedy. Oh well, time to find a new app and start over with one that allows iCloud backup.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-10-27, version 2.8.12*

Don’t download this app

### 1/5 — Hidden cost

*2022-07-06, version 2.8.8*

Be aware that you can’t get your photo video without paying.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-07-27, version 2.9.68*

I love the reminders and the quality of the videos! You can really see a time lapse

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2026-07-17*

I really like using this app, the onion skin is helpful and it’s never failed me. This app does one job and it does it very well so if you’re reading this, get it!

### 5/5 — Capturing The Moment

*2026-06-12, version 2.9.63*

It’s nice to be able to easily capture 1 moment of each day, and overtime experience  a sense of nostalgia, over time.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-30*

Love it.

### 5/5 — Almost everyday for over 10 years

*2026-05-18, version 2.9.62*

Been taking my pic almost everyday for 10 years. A novelty for sure, but a fun one.

### 5/5 — Simply Awesome!

*2026-04-17*

I’ve been using it since a year and enjoying it very much. 

I’d just want this app to stay forever so that people (like me) can continue using it and see our changes over the years!

Kudos guys 🎉👏!!!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-04-16, version 2.9.60*

Just hit 4 years today, love this app, zero complaints and straight to the point. Will continue to use this for as long as I can.

### 5/5 — Super App to see face aging year by year!

*2026-02-10*

Used similar one since 2012, but it does not exist anyomore. This App transferred all my photos from the old one. So now I can see how I am changing since 2012!

### 5/5 — Multiple objects to track

*2026-01-17*

I would like to track body and face change. It would be really great if you added the ability to track multiple objects - sport progress and the face or smth else

### 5/5 — Very cool app

*2026-01-12*

When I eat ribs I only eat the actual ribs, and I feed the meat to my pet troglodyte
