Malesup is a hands-on photo coach โ it guides you to frame a shot correctly using voice and on-screen instructions, right while you're holding up the camera. Instead of guessing whether a pose looks right, Malesup measures camera tilt, distance and where the subject sits in frame in real time, then tells you exactly what to fix โ step back, lower the camera, hold it straight โ in short, easy-to-follow phrases, no photography jargon required. New โ Night art: night-time portraits with automatic flash, waist-up framing and a "night film" look (dark background, brighter skin). Every mode has real sample poses right in the viewfinder so you and the person you're shooting can follow along. Photo enhancement: pick a photo already in your library and enhance it: brighter skin, cleaner and fresher colour, clearer and more polished faces, highlights kept from blowing out. Optional longer legs, slimmer arms and a slimmer waist, off by default. Drag the slider to compare before and after. Photos already in your library are never modified or deleted โ the enhanced version is saved as a new photo. Photos taken with Malesup are saved exactly as shot; after your last shot, you're offered a free enhancement of that photo. Free: Full body mode (great for full-length, social-media-style shots), Outfit mode (cut above the knee), Table mode (seated at a table) and Night art (open 19:00 to 05:00), 25 shots a day; your first 2 library enhancements are free, then each ad you watch adds 2 more. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited shots, unlimited ad-free enhancement, and early access to the new Chair and Squat modes โ before they're released to everyone. Framing guidance, the night film look, brightening, longer legs, slimmer arms and a slimmer waist all run on your device. When you enhance a photo, the whole photo is never sent: only small face crops go to our server, are processed for a few seconds and are not stored. The app supports both Vietnamese and English, switchable right from Settings. Monthly and yearly Pro plans renew automatically through your Apple ID unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period (Settings > your name > Subscriptions). Lifetime is a one-time purchase. Terms of Use: https://d1q8bsi6vhfm1q.cloudfront.net/legal/terms.html#en Privacy Policy: https://d1q8bsi6vhfm1q.cloudfront.net/legal/privacy.html#en
