Won’t Focus
The app forces the flash on. Auto focus is somehow disabled when using app so can’thry closeup of moles.
Upload photos
Please add a way to upload a photo from the camera roll. I use the camera magnifier, which takes the clearest photos (rather than the camera), but there is no way to add the photo.
Cool concept, but…
Doesn’t seem to be a way to transfer my old data to a new phone. No “account” to log into. Defeats the purpose of longitudinal monitoring
Utility undermined by unusable UI
What should be an indispensable app to monitoring those at risk for melanoma (2-time survivor) is too difficult to use. After trying it out for two years, I give up.

I can not recommend this app enough! I work in dermatology and see melanoma on the regular. I use this app to track my moles and I ended up having several biopsied, one being melanoma! The best thing about this is that the app can help track moles in the early stages before it gets too dangerous! Thank you!!

No sides?
The app works well, but you can’t take pictures of the sides of your legs. It is setup to only map the front and back of the body.
A lot of potential
I like it so far. The app pretty solid.
Some areas to improve:
1) No picture upload from existing photos unfortunately
2) No automatic mole mapping, you need to manually map the moles and some people might heave lots of them
3) No individual mole mode, only wide areas on skin possible
4) Wide area skin photos for sides of your body not available
5) Auto rotation & scale, so it’s easier to compare your mole photos
6) Mole area square size calculator, so you can track the size over the time. You can allow users to paint out the mole on the image manually

Crashes
Tried to use it after 2 years.. now it crashes every time I try to view moles
I hope it keeps developing...
I really like the entire idea behind this project, and I hope there is more to come in the future. But after a year of version 3, I think I have decided that version 2 worked better for me. In particular, I wish the app saved the entire picture every time, instead of keeping only the very closely cropped images of individually tracked moles. I have a lot of small weird moles in clusters, too many to track individually. I had to have another removed this fall, but it was unfortunately not one I had been tracking all along so I didn’t have a record of it...

Great mole tracking tool
I’ve been using MoleMapper since the very beginning to track my many moles, some of which were melanomas. Version 3 is a huge improvement and with the fixes for iOS 12 in place it has been working flawlessly. I am hopeful the research being done with the data collected will help find a cure.
Crashing
Won’t let me take a picture. It keeps crashing with the new iOS12
Crashes when holding to identify coin or mole
iPhone XS, iOS 12, app crashes when holding to select coin or mole.
App crashes
The app keeps crashing when I try to open my pictures! Having a severely atypical mole excised in two weeks - would be nice to compare to old data.
Perfect!!! Must have
The only free app i could find that actually measures changes in your moles. You include a US coin for size comparison in every picture. Then you select the outline of every mole in the picture as well as the size & type of coin.
Compared to other apps the focus is really clear, you can get pretty good pictures of your moles & even calibrate your camera through the app.
It allows you to lable every single mole of any size. Whats hilarious is the app names every mole for you!! My most risky one is named “John Lennon” lol. It makes mapping moles kind of fun.
The app also logs every part of your body & encourages you to complete each “zone”. I really think this app could save lives by showing risk signs of melanoma over time!
You can watch slideshows of every mole you map which makes it super easy to see any changes.
If you have tons of moles like me, this app is a must have if you want to log changes over time.

New update makes it unusable.
I used this app to track moles for months. Now the new update has made it unusable. Months of tracking data gone for me. Way to hang your users out to dry.
Version 3 is coming
I heard today it's awesome at Aim at Melanoma symposium - can't wait!
Difficult to use
Interface is not intuitive at all. Complicated to measure everything on the screen; then its not clear what to do with the picture. I'm disappointed.
For women only?
This app is missing male parts. Which is a pity, because those are exactly the places where one might be more inclined to use a semi-anonymous app, and probably data about the evolution of moles there would be even more precious than other places where data is more abundant.
Buggy on Bigger iPhones
The minus ("-") button doesn't work on the mole mapper on my iPhone 6s. Tapping it does nothing, and there's no outline around the button like there should be. This app needs to be optimized for the larger displays of the 6 and 6+.
The app also crashed while I was trying to map one of my moles.

Needs mass export of hi quality images
I hate documenting all my moles then losing all the data cause its locked in the app. Good interface otherwise.
