The default iPhone front camera is always mirrored and even when u turn off mirroring it’s still there, it only gives the true flipped picture AFTER it’s taken 🤦‍♀️😑!! I find that stupid. It’s hard to know what you need to adjust or fix when it’s like that. This app was great 👍 But i really am starting to hate the smooth blur filter that u CANNOT turn off 👎 It was kinda cute at first but now it is nottt. Idk the iphone camera is too detailed, but this is so unnatural looking and not very flattering. I deleted it after a while because of that and I just decided to get used to the iPhone camera app ### 4/5 — Request! *2024-05-07* Hi! this app is very helpful. HOWEVER I have two suggestions. Can you please add a grid option for the camera? Also can you please move the different mode names? When the mirror is flipped the center is blocked for a moment but the mode. Thank you! ### 3/5 — CANT TURN OFF FILTER *2024-05-01, version 2.0* Great app but please give us the option to turn off the smooth filter. I want to see my pores and imperfections!! PLEASEE!! ### 4/5 — It does the corrected image… but *2024-01-16* There’s a very obvious filter that smooths out imperfections. Veins, old acne scars, bags under eyes all get washed over. It’s nice, but it’s not what you “really” look like. ### 3/5 — Be prepared *2023-10-04, version 2.0* Well now Ik where all my plastic surgery needs to be 👍🏻 never realized I looks like this to others ### 4/5 — Does what it says *2023-06-08, version 2.0* Nice tool; would be great if it allowed for zoom. ### 4/5 — Please allow us to remove pop up *2023-05-30* Please include an option to get rid of the “Tap and drag on screen to select focus area” pop up. It’s very inconvenient that it comes up everytime you use the app. ### 4/5 — filters! *2023-01-18, version 2.0* very good ngl but there are very obvious filters! Like i have a huge birthmark on my face and you can barley see it this cam!! Not necessary a bad thing tho as it filters blemishes! <3 ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2022-08-24* This is the best one on the main list that comes up. ### 5/5 — Stunning photos *2022-03-12* I love this app. It lets me see my true image and also has a beautiful filter ### 5/5 — Curiously Fun *2022-01-05, version 2.0* I’m new to this but so far, it’s fun. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — we’re all chopped *2025-03-12, version 2.0* This makes us see our real selves. ### 1/5 — Can't Turn Off Filter *2025-02-04, version 2.0* App doesn't let you turn off its filter. Therefore it's failed its purpose of being a true mirror. ### 1/5 — Shows how ugly you are *2024-09-04, version 2.0* Makes me want to kms ### 1/5 — Distorted *2024-07-25, version 2.0* My face looks super asymmetrical with this camera. It doesn’t happen in the original camera. ### 1/5 — do NOT get *2023-10-07* I tried this to se what I look like, but this app drained my battery VEEY FAST. For instance my iPhone was at 10%, just about a minute later, it was at 1%. The app also has a weird “filter” on that makes your skin look blurry. I’m afraid that the app was “uploading” what I was doing to something? This would explain my battery loss. I will not be using again and will delete the app. ### 1/5 — Tried to sell you phone clean app. Stay away scam *2023-07-04, version 2.0* Scam ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly *2022-05-03, version 2.0* Yes it inverts the camera but one pint of view(the camera)doesn’t work it is meant to have two which is why the actual true mirror works because your eyes are the two points of perspective so don’t let it get you down. ### 1/5 — Filter *2021-11-29* There appears to be some kind of beauty filter on while using the app. I just want to be able to see the true view of myself without it. Not sure how to take it off ### 2/5 — It’s fine…but… *2023-06-23, version 2.0* You will see your true self, but don’t get it if you don’t wanna be insecure. Stick to a mirror. Very insecure now. ### 2/5 — Sus *2022-10-22, version 2.0* The app takes wifi and cellular data while in selfie preview. Why? Is it uploading to somewhere? I dont trust it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-01-30, version 2.0* I like it but remove the filters lol ### 5/5 — This looks weird *2024-10-27* I like it but it’s kinda crazy ### 5/5 — Good! *2024-10-06* This app has basically no problems, no ads and it gets strait to the point ### 5/5 — 8-12-2024 *2024-08-13, version 2.0* This app is very helpful I get ready to go somewhere and j look in a mirror and it makes me look too big then I got this app and it shows how I actually look in real life this app is a five star ### 5/5 — this is a reply to hokolate *2024-08-10* In the camera your face is how you see yourself and my face looks fine too but with THIS app it’s how others see you and others see you flipped And my face is VERY asymmetrical with this app ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2024-03-30, version 2.0* Helps a lot ### 5/5 — ITS LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE *2024-01-24, version 2.0* I no longer have to look so ugly and helps me do my makeup symmetrically ### 5/5 — Definitely will use *2023-07-27* Whenever i do my hair i always think it looks good but then after getting an iphone and seeing as apl the pictures i take of myself get mirrored to what someone who is looking at me would see i realized that my hair does not in fact look good So I’m definitely gonna try using this app to help me fix my appearance and such ### 5/5 — Really useful, but filter gets in the way *2023-06-25* This app makes it possible to see how the picture will turn out before you take it. The native iOS camera settings give you the option to flip photos taken by the front camera *after* you’ve taken it (so you can see yourself how others see you / as if someone else took a picture of you). But it may take several tries to get a decent picture, because the camera feed that you see on your screen when you’re trying to take the picture is still in “mirror mode,” and it only gets flipped after the picture is taken. This app solves that problem. My only gripe is that there’s some sort of gaussian blur filter that’s impossible to remove (even after going to settings —> All Filters Off). I’d rather not see my face blurred like a porcelain doll if I’m trying to get a more accurate picture of what I look like to others, lol. Hope this gets fixed. ### 5/5 — The only camera app to show you exactly how you’re seen *2023-06-09* It’s insane all other apps somehow universally agreed to see how you look in the mirror not how the actual photos are with no option to change. By looking at myself AS I’m actually seen, all my photos got instantly extremely better. I’d give this 50 stars. It’s actually making sense in this upside down world. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
