Okay first it would make you fat and then make the eyebrows thicker if you were a boy and then for a girl you’d be skinny and then the eyelashes were just pushed up for EVEY ONE. I couldn’t even do mine! Especially not with glasses :(!!!! 👎🏽👎🏽 ### 1/5 — So Bad *2020-08-07, version 2.0.1* Unrealistic all u did is mad me orange and have thick eyebrows ### 1/5 — Total Crap *2020-08-05, version 2.0.1* Don’t waste your time or phone space. Utter crap app. ### 1/5 — Crap don’t bother *2020-07-25, version 2.0.1* Rubbish ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-07-21* Wouldn’t even let me click the button to pick my gender. ### 1/5 — So so so bad *2020-07-17, version 2.0.1* I got this for a bit of fun, and there are NON STOP ADDS!!!! It crashed the app! And after all that it hardly does anything to my face Would not recommend ### 1/5 — Terrible would already crash *2020-07-16* It wouldn’t let me load my photos ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-07-05, version 2.0.1* Rubbish. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2020-06-29, version 2.0.1* IN OFFENDED ### 1/5 — what is this?? *2020-06-25* even tho the ratings where bad i still tried it out.... IT MADE ME LOOK LIKE AN ALIEN!! and when i pressed “customize” all that showed was a black screen... and i couldn’t do anything about it. you need to fix you app BADLY! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2020-06-21, version 2.0.1* This is NOT the funny app everyone is using right now. All it does is make your face slimmer or fatter depending on gender ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-06-17, version 2.0.1* Makes you wait for an ad that will never loads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst of its kind *2025-06-04, version 2.0.1* that we know of. ### 1/5 — Phishing App *2023-04-06, version 2.0.1* Doesn’t do anything without getting access to everything first and doesn’t deliver. Go to developer website, it’s just a text page all in Chinese. Steer clear of apps like this. Apple should’ve filtered this one out. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t even work, crashed too often. *2023-01-04* I’d summarize this, separating from the pros and cons, but the app wouldn’t even work.. every time I selected an option for changing the gender (take a photo, pick a photo in your gallery, use the defaults, I was on that screen) the app would crash. There were also many ads, but that’s reasonable due to the app being completely free. It may interrupt but it’s in order for the app to stay up, so that’s alright with me. ### 1/5 — I THOUGHT I COULD SWAP MY GENDER *2022-08-20, version 2.0.1* I was thinking oh how cool I can swap my gender add makeup to my father BUTT🍑 it is trash ### 1/5 — SpongeBOB *2022-04-19, version 2.0.1* Who lives in ur moms sperm under the sea? This app. ### 1/5 — Do not even download *2022-03-11* Literally the worst app ever. It does “gender bend” at all and it just contorts your face and sometimes says it’s can’t even analyze the photo. NOT WORTH IT IN THE SLIGHTEST ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-10-20, version 2.0.1* The male filter literally just makes your face round with really poorly photoshopped eyebrows and a huge nose its crap ### 1/5 — I’m dead *2021-08-10, version 2.0.1* LMAOOOO I’M DEAD THIS APP SUCKS SO MUCH Also what about people that are not male nor female? Like me for example. Don’t get this app, it’s free and yet I still feel robbed. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2021-06-12, version 2.0.1* If you don’t have Facebook this app is worthless ### 1/5 — Aweful *2021-05-26, version 2.0.1* When I press if I’m a male or female it won’t work. Don’t buy it😡😡 ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🤫🧏‍♀️🤫🧏‍♀️ *2024-12-13* I used this app for my knee surgery tomorrow!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 it actually swapped my gender irl and now I am a fat man with a streaked scar on my face! I’m 70 years old with grandkids and three of them went into a death inducing coma when they saw me RIP SKITTLES AND PICKLES 🥰 the other is just without arms legs and eyes, but she’s fine. Anyways THANK YOU to the creators of this app for this amazing experience before my knee surgery in a couple hours. keep on gooning you little gooners 🫶 DIDDY PARTY AT 6!! 🥰 ### 5/5 — This game cured my cancer *2023-05-03, version 2.0.1* My penis had to be chopped off because of a stage 5 cancer this game gave me the confidence that it was time to get it chopped off ### 5/5 — Would Recommend (Im Dying) *2021-11-26, version 2.0.1* First off this app is garbage.The results are horrendous.Tbh I would never realistically use this.But this app has me and my freinds laughing so 5 stars ### 5/5 — alright I see you. *2021-03-01* I usually don’t full star apps like these but I guess I’ll make an acceptation for this. It’s really funny how it makes you look dead up just fat and I’ll support this app because I love something that brings comedy. :) ### 5/5 — Rolling on the floor laughing *2019-04-10* This is the worst pile of trash I’ve ever seen. I don’t even want to spoil the effects for you, but they’re horrendous. Recommendation: Choose the opposite gender (on the select your gender page) and input yourself... Results for the male one sent me into an absolute fit! Five stars only because my friends and I were dying. ### 5/5 — Great Product *2017-02-18* I wish I could be able to pay for so I don't have commercials in the bottom. ### 4/5 — Really good but ...... *2019-09-22, version 2.0.1* Its really good but I recommend this for if your bored 1 st star for personal 2 nd star for funny ness 3rd star for realaxation 4 th star for adds like it says no thanks on it most apps have a tiny X that doesn’t work ### 3/5 — Slight complaint *2018-03-08* How come I can’t gender bend photos with a little hair in the way and with glasses, I respectfully request better updated app improvements please ### 2/5 — Adds are a major distraction *2017-04-10, version 2.0.1* I would rather pay for this app rather than have interfering advertisements --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
