### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-11, version 2.2.6*

Won’t work anymore. Not at all.

### 5/5 — A FREE hidden gem

*2024-11-02*

Microsoft Selfie is an impressive app that’s simple, effective, and surprisingly free. With just a photo, it can smooth out your skin, make you look younger, and create a natural-looking result. I’m genuinely surprised it only has a three-star rating—it deserves five! It’s a hidden gem that more people should be using. The fact that it’s free makes it even better. For anyone looking for an easy way to enhance their photos without paying, Microsoft Selfie is a great choice.

### 3/5 — Microsoft selfie app-

*2024-07-27*

I use this app for years and love it.  Lately, it no longer work or the photos on the photo app in that ask to select the photo, open the photos album, can select the photo but doesn’t return the photo ti the app for processing.  Please fix it is a good app.  The camera icon on the app works fine.  

Please advise how to go around this issue.  Thanks

### 3/5 — Devs are jokers

*2023-10-20, version 2.2.6*

Hello, the app is great except after editing a photo , and tap “go back” , there home menu instead photo library, and need to scroll to the set of photos where you take the photo. It’s so annoying

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing!

*2023-08-04, version 2.2.6*

Why is this app constantly crashing each time I try to “select more pictures”???

### 5/5 — Best photo editing app for iOS 12!

*2023-08-02, version 2.2.6*

You can change the brightness and style! I know Microsoft pic is newer but is not as good.

### 5/5 — Great camera app to complement and or replace the default camera app

*2023-06-29, version 2.2.6*

All right so before switching to over to an iPod touch it was a hammy down device because my galaxy note 10+ what is unfortunately lost and with my job I was a social media manager and I did a lot of picture and video editing and the iPhone SE special edition had no storage space so I got the iPod Touch as a gift advice even though it’s old was able to support the Microsoft selfie app and I shared photos to my friends let them know this came from the iPod touch camera and they were amazed at the quality of photos that came out so I highly recommend this camera app and asking Microsoft if they’re ever going to do an update to the camera since been a while or is it just because I haven’t told her iPod touch that’s only on iOS 12

### 4/5 — Excellent app to beautify photos and just little improvement needed

*2023-03-13, version 2.2.6*

This app makes beautify photos easy and looks quite real. Not like a lot of apps in the market that make photos look fake. 

The only improvement point is to no take photo the moment you select the option. Would be better if I get to decide when the shutter should kick in. 

Otherwise, excellent app that makes photos pop.

### 5/5 — Like airbrushing in real time

*2022-12-23*

Best app for photo finishing I’ve yet to find. Simple and straightforward. Works as well today as it did when I first found it years ago.

### 5/5 — Update app

*2022-09-27, version 2.2.6*

Please update app!! 4 years a go!!!
