Recently i’ve been going in to check my past photos for progress and all my photos are unavailable and you can’t see them anymore. Instead of my photos is a blurry image of thing. DONT USE THIS APP IF YOU WANT TO RISK ALL YOUR PHOTOS. I deleted all my photos in my phone after transferring them to this app. Since this app has DESTROYED my photos i have no way of getting them back. ### 1/5 — Not worth the cost *2024-10-03* The app could not be more basic, you are literally just creating a scrollable list and some line graphs counting pimples. It’s like someone’s first software development project freshman year of college. You can’t even export the data. Why is this $30? ### 3/5 — So far so good, but could be upgraded *2023-12-24* The app is very simple to use and helps keep track of skin progress. However, I think having an option to save your beauty/skin care products and correlating to see if those are a source of an outbreak would be beneficial. ### 4/5 — Does the job! *2025-02-11, version 2.0.3* Finding the app helpful so far; GP suspects I have hormonal acne and suggested I track the flare-ups. The notes section is useful for recording things like the face wash I’ve used, so I can see if anything is/is not helping. I’d change 2 things, based on how I’m using it so far: * I’d rather pay a one-off fee for this type of app than the subscription model, given there’s no cloud storage of photos, etc. involved (but I know subscriptions are how most apps work these days… I can dream!) so I’m sticking with the free version for now. If I’m still using the app regularly in a couple of months I might upgrade to a paid subscription then. * I’d find it really useful to be able to export the data somehow - the 21 day graphs are useful in-app, but the developer website skincare test suggests sticking with a change for 4-6 weeks, so I would want to be able to see that data displayed over the last 8 weeks, rather than 21 days - and being able to convert it all into a PDF or something somehow so I can more easily show it to the doctor, would be really helpful (and worth paying for the app subscription at that point) ### 4/5 — Pretty good overall *2023-09-11* I like how simple and straightforward this app is. However, I wish there was a function for directly comparing photos taken at the same angle. ### 5/5 — Burst! *2024-07-28* Ranger is here! ### 5/5 — Good place to store and track photos *2024-06-15, version 2.0.3* It’s been 5 days and I’m really enjoying using this app so far! I used to store all my ‘skin’ photos in an album on my phone but this app has allowed me to track and compare factors too which is great. Improvement- more options to track diet, like sugary foods, probiotics etc ### 5/5 — Super helpful! *2024-03-19* This app has been great for tracking my skin trends and being able to bring that info back to my doctor. I ended up paying to have the extra features, but I feel like the free version would have been okay. Excited to see how the app develops develops in the future! ### 5/5 — this app is really amazing *2023-08-15* i used to have really bad acne and tracking my accutane journey was fun to see my improvement on the ap, i wish they forced you to have an account because i had to get a new phone and i lost all my progress since i didnt have a phone but oh wrll --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
