Face Drop is an augmented reality twist on the humble selfie: rather than taking photos of yourself, each snap of the camera instead places a copy of your lovely visage in the real world. Create big bold swirls of smiles, plaster the walls with scowls, or toss a duck face to some actual ducks. It's all possible with Face Drop! Features: • Capture 3D selfies and place them in the world using augmented reality. • Switch between four shooting modes that change how you place faces in the world. • Use toss mode for example to launch your face out from the camera. • Tossed and dropped faces bounce off of real world surfaces (requires a device with a LiDAR sensor) • Capture photos and videos of your face drops to share with friends. So give Face Drop a try and be sure to share anything fun you create using it!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ugly Camera at 4.4 against Face Drop AR's 3.7. Ugly Camera also leads on ratings volume (127 vs 3). Face Drop AR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Ugly Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Ugly Camera's written reviews are positive against 100% of Face Drop AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ugly Camera ships an update every 3 months, Face Drop AR weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
