FaceApp: Perfect Face Editor 9+

Yes it’s been fixed (and altered)

Wanted to update my review as now finally my pictures are loading again and not crashing! Yipee. Happy it’s working again as I love this app. Not sure where one of the adjustment settings went but still super happy it’s been fixed. Thank you programmers! 😊 this is a great app for subtle changes not over done (can do extreme if u want but I want subtle and this has great options that still look like you not false faced) also has some very funny adjustments that can be used seriously or to have a laugh with like adding smiles, aging, etc. Also love the gender swap options. Great app for males and females. Huge range of make up/ hair colour changes etc. Great stuff.

Invasion of privacy

I recently downloaded the app and played around making myself look older, as everyone else did. But unfortunately, post download, found out the app actually keeps your photos and can potentially sell them on to third party’s (GDPR issue?). I’m aware that users are meant to know about this through terms and conditions but only about 10% of people actually read them. It is my understanding that consent to hold or share information must be specifically granted in order to do so, and lack of consent should be assumed to be that they don’t wish for it to be kept, ie, not ‘downloading the app assumes you give consent’.

I wasn’t happy in the slightest and immediately deleted the app in attempt to keep some of my privacy in tact, however I fear the damage is already done and they will forever have my photos of myself, and friends and family. It concerns me that the app is suitable for people aged 4 and above as if FaceApp is keeping people’s photos from such a young age, could this not be considered a massive breach of privacy as anyone below the age of 10 is probably completely unaware of what they are giving consent to. Does this also cross the line between legal and illegal activity concerning perhaps a parents photo of a child?

Something weird about the quality with the newest update.

I use the same picture as comparison every update to see if anything has changed with and this latest update the image looks different to previous ones when I use the same presets as before, so I guess they have changed something but not for the better. The newer interface is fine, but in general I would say the latest upgrade is a step in the wrong direction. For example why is long hair giving different results now? It used to make hair looks full a little straighter, now it seems to be blurry and fuzzy looking when editing the same pictures. Not sure what’s happened. Definitely doesn’t feel like it’s beautifying or improving images like before, some of the make ups look a little off too, the eyes seem darker. In general the quality has really taken a dip.
If the app was working like it was before I’d say it was a solid 4.5, as currently is though it’s not quite there. This is a good example of don’t fix what isn’t broken.
