Experience the joy of “couch play” multiplayer gaming with your family and friends! Requirements There are three components required to enjoy games on Amico Home: 1. This FREE Amico Controller app – turns smart devices into Amico game controllers. 2. An Amico Console or the FREE Amico Home app which turns a compatible smart device into an Amico Console. 3. A Wi-Fi network shared by all participating devices. Amico Controller Features Please see the screenshots for the appearance of the features described here. • Disc – directional input for gameplay and menu navigation. • Touchscreen – displays the controller’s menus as well as game-specific information, controls, and menus. • Menu Button – open/close the controller options menu on the touchscreen. It also pauses/resumes gameplay. • Action Buttons – games-specific functions and selecting highlighted menu items on the “console” device. • Speaker – some games play sound effects through your controller device’s speaker. • Microphone – some games ask you to record your voice through your controller device’s microphone for in-game content. Sign-In Menu When you launch the Amico Controller app, it automatically connects over your Wi-Fi network to the device running the Amico Home app. Then it shows the sign-in menu which presents four ways for you to sign in as a player: 1. Create a new resident account – enter your player nickname, preferred language and optional account password (and password hint). 2. Choose from a list of previously created resident accounts. 3. Use a guest account – type in your player guest nickname. 4. Use an anonymous guest account – it assigns you the name of “Player1”, or “Player2”, etc. A resident account preserves your account information and controller preferences between sessions; a guest account does not. In no case is your information sent over the Internet or stored on cloud servers. Options Menu Press the little menu button to open the controller’s option menu on the touchscreen area. This action pauses game play if a game is in active play (i.e. not on a game menu). Resume game play by pressing the menu button again to close the options menu. The options menu offerings vary depending on the current state of play and whether you are signed in or not and connected to the Amico Home console device or not. Only options that are currently applicable are shown to keep the menu streamlined. Important Options Menu Items • Sign Out – sign out of the current signed-in player account and return to the controller Sign-In menu. • Game Menu – Exit active gameplay and return to the game’s main menu. • Amico Home – Exit a game completely and return everyone to the Amico Home app. • Settings (Gear) – a submenu of various settings options to customize your controller and gameplay experience. • Rotation Lock/Unlock – a toggle that locks and unlocks the ability for the controller UI to rotate when you rotate the controller to different orientations. A user-friendly feature of Amico Controllers is the ability to rotate it for left-handed or right-handed comfort. Some games may restrict the controller UI to only landscape or only portrait orientations due to demands of their touchscreen displays. But within those restrictions you are free to rotate the controller 180 degrees to change which side has the Disc and which side has the touch screen. The touchscreen UI and Disc directions will automatically adjust to the new orientation (unless you have locked rotation, see above). “Amico” is a trademark of Intellivision Entertainment, LLC.

``` Face Scanner turns the TrueDepth camera on your iPhone into a facial measurement tool. Capture a 3D scan of your face in seconds, then explore every reference measurement used by plastic surgeons, oculoplastic clinicians, and facial aesthetics researchers. WHAT YOU CAN MEASURE • Interpupillary distance (IPD) • Intercanthal and outer canthal distance • Palpebral fissure length and height (per eye) • Canthal tilt (per eye and average) • Alar base width • Nasal length and Goode tip-projection ratio • Nasolabial and nasofrontal angles • Philtrum length, lower-face height, thirds ratio • Ricketts E-line upper- and lower-lip offsets • Bizygomatic width, bigonial width, FWHR • Orbital vector (cornea vs infraorbital rim) • Secondary ratios used in modern aesthetic analysis (IPD : bizygomatic, alar : IPD, philtrum : lower face, and more) 3D OVERLAY SYSTEM Every measurement can be toggled as a graphic overlay on your 3D scan. Angles show clear reference lines, arcs, and vertex anchors. Distances show landmark dots and a connecting line. Ratios show two distinct segments side-by-side. Tap multiple measurements to compare them on the same model, each in its own color. HISTORY AND TRENDS Every scan is saved locally on your device with its measurements. The history view lets you pick which measurements to track and see them across scans in a table or a line chart over time. Watch real progress without any guesswork. AESTHETIC-TARGET RATINGS Section-level ratings compare your measurements to documented aesthetic targets from Farkas's anthropometric norms, neoclassical canons, Ricketts' E-line, Peck & Peck's lower-third analysis, Goode's tip-projection ratio, and Powell & Humphreys' aesthetic face angles. Sources are cited in the Instructions screen so you always know which reference a number is compared against. PRIVACY FIRST Every scan stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is shared. No account required. WHAT'S FREE • Unlimited 3D face scans • Every visual measurement overlay • In-app instructions with references WHAT UNLOCKS WITH PREMIUM ($4.99, one-time) • Numeric values for every measurement • Aesthetic-target rating per section • Saved-scan browser • Multi-scan history and trend charting • One-time purchase — no subscription IMPORTANT Face Scanner is a measurement and tracking tool for personal reference and education. It is not a medical diagnostic device. Aesthetic target ranges are references, not goals. The app does not generate an "attractiveness score" and the developers intentionally avoid that framing. Requires an iPhone or iPad with a TrueDepth camera (Face ID capable).

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Amico Controller at 64% against Face Scanner's 0%. Amico Controller also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Face Scanner's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Face Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amico Controller has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Amico Controller's written reviews are positive against 0% of Face Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Amico Controller ships an update every 3 months, Face Scanner every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
