Want to see what you really look like? A regular mirror flips your image, so you're not really seeing what everyone else does. With Truth Mirror, a true mirror, the image you see, is what the rest of the world sees when they look at you! If you use the built in IOS camera app it shows a mirror image while previewing and then flips it to true when you take your pic, so you can't really see what your picture will look like. Now with Truth Mirror! You can preview your TRUE image and pose for self portraits and take a picture of the actual preview. Then you can add captions, goodies, and frames to your pic and share it via Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, etc…. After over a MILLION downloads we have done a full rebuild with some new features! - Now you can choose to not save pictures you take to your camera roll so they are only in the app and then you can save and share the good ones :) Perfect for secret shots you don’t want showing up in your photo stream across all of your iOS devices, your choice. - New Photo preview thumbnails. - Choose either volume button to trigger your shutter without touching the screen and ruining your shot! - Turn the screen flash on and off. And of course as always you can flip the image back to a regular reversed image so you can see the difference! Get it now to see what you really look like! 1.1 Million people can’t be wrong, get the best, simplest, most secure selfie app in the store!
