TroveSkin: Skincare Coach 4+

Social Update Options?

Good app (the routines part feels a bit clunky, I had to duplicate a lot of things to make it make sense, also some fields in the logs are required which just makes it annoying if I do not want to fill in certain ones)
Anyway, now I keep getting notices of people 'liking' my routine. This is nice but I don't care and also feels invasive. I see no option to turn this off? Or to disable the social feed altogether would be better. At least disable the notifications of likes specifically as it's a ridiculous amount of pointless buzzing. I have disabled notifications from the app completely but this means I cannot get reminder notifications etc. I see how some people may like this feature but to me it is only an annoyance.

Useful-ish

The app works very well for the purpose of tracking your skincare routines, creating a routine is quick and easy - the product database actually works really well. I’ve been using it for a few days and probably will continue using it to make sure I’m consistent with certain ingredients. However I hate the social feed - it feels like a totally unnecessary feature and I don’t like how your routines are automatically shared with random users - this should be optional. I also don’t get value out of seeing strangers’ routines on the feed, this definitely isn’t how I would discover new products (only on recommendation of people you know or experts/influencers). The insights tab could be useful but the design is pretty poor - way too many things going on so it makes it very hard to process any information. This would be useful if much simpler. Being able to filter through your stash is cool and although I’m not using the expiry dates feature it’s a good idea! Skin photo comparisons are great. Not sure that the skin analysis is actually doing anything at all… but overall I like the app!! If it was simpler (without trying to become a social app) I would definitely keep using!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind feedback! :-)

Brilliant app would defiantly recommend!!!

I have been struggling to see how my skin is and when my skin is at its best or worst .
This app gives my a detailed analysation on how my skin is doing and all I have to do is take a photo of my face and pick which products of mine that I used. When I feel like my skin is terrible and I wish it was baby smooth this app helped me release that my skin wasn’t that bad at all . I got this app thinking that I needed help for my acne , this app has shown to me that I have not got acne I just have a few spots. Which has made my skin improve because before getting this app I was using heavy unnecessary products which is was making my skin worse . So since then I have only been using a gentle cleanser (as I have sensitive skin) and a simple SPF moisturiser. I would defined recommend this app to anyone concerned about what is right and wrong for their skin ! Xxx
