### 1/5 — This app is not worth your time.

*2022-02-20, version 4.26*

Bro, this is the worst face app I have ever downloaded all it does is stretch your face.

### 1/5 — What is going on here??????

*2020-02-08, version 4.22*

Okay, so I got this app to see what it would be like and let me just say, it is trash. I mean, what going on?? It’s not clear what you’re supposed to do after you take the picture and yeah. It’s supposed to show me what I look like when I’m old, but it just made me smile bigger!!! I really mad right now. I wish that this app would work. It’s also just dumb. Thank you so much for reading this report. I’m sorry for ranting on and on, but I just had to tell people about this app. Thanks!!!!

### 1/5 — 久々に使ってみたら

*2017-10-29, version 4.4*

写真が意図しない方向へ勝手に動いたり拡大縮小されたりでパーツの位置合わせが非常にやりづらい上、結果もデタラメで改悪されている。昔のバージョンの方が良かった。
誰か代替アプリを教えて下さい。

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2017-06-27, version 4.1.1*

Meh...Doesn't do much. Took the photo and tried to get it to do something. The photo didn't change all that much, and there was a "V" connecting the eyes and mouth from the editing. The "V" wouldn't go away.

### 1/5 — Kinda stupid

*2017-06-04, version 4.0*

I uploaded a pic and it worked but it wasn't very good. It altered the pic but it looked so fake and not realistic in the least.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2017-06-03, version 4.0*

Does not have any features. Only thing you can do is watch your photo move. The age process is terrible. All the icons on the bottom take you the App Store for another app to get. Really a useless app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2017-06-02, version 4.0*

I tried several of my emails and the emails I people I know. It couldn't find a thing on anyone.

### 5/5 — Muhteşem

*2016-08-18, version 3.03*

Muhteşem

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-01-29, version 3.01*

Doesn't address "decades"

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2014-03-15, version 3.00*

This app is not worth the money, it actually does nothing
