Gameplay

*Transform yourself into an old person!*

When it comes to predicting our futures, we all go crazy for it. It’s interesting to see what our kids might look like in the future, what job we might have and especially what we’ll look like when we’re old. Now you can see what you would look like in many different ways with the Face App. Someone somewhere discovered this app and shared it’s cool features that it has – the most popular one is the age filter which allows you to see what you’d look like as an old person – wrinkles and all.

Face App uses AI technology to do this and you can use the example pictures, your own pictures or celebrities. In the spirit of the new Stranger Things series out, I decided to use Millie Bobby Brown as my model.

Once you pick your model, you’re greeted with an overwhelming amount of features like:

Smiles
Impression
Makeup
Hair Colors
Hair Styles
Age
Glasses
Beards
Filters
Lens Blur
Background
Tattoos
Vignette
Adjustments
Crop

Although it’s the age filter that everyone is going crazy for, I personally found the background filter to be the most interesting. I liked how you could put your model in front of anything and it would look perfect. However, my least favorite has to be the tattoo filter as they looked so fake, you wouldn’t be able to trick anyone.

Graphics

As this isn’t a game and more of a photo app, the graphics are standard. However, as I said, the filters work with AI technology to make them look as real as possible. Some of them were super creepy, especially the smile filter as the teeth look real.

Music & Sounds

There are no sounds in this app, and there isn’t any need for them either. I think adding sounds or music would just be weird an unnecessary. Face App is fine how it is.

Controls

*Tap on the filter you want to apply it!*

Like with music and sounds, there are no specific controls in the Face App – all you have to do is tap the filter you want and it’ll appear on your model in a few seconds. Some of the filters took a while to load which was annoying and made me get impatient, but if you can get past that then it’s worth the download.

The Power of in-app Purchases

*Get Face App Pro to unlock more filters!*

Unless you purchase Face App Pro, your choice in filters is going to be pretty limited. The pro version costs:

1 month: £3.99 – charged monthly
12 months: £18.99 – charged yearly
forever: £38.99 – a one-time purchase

Face App Pro allows you access to premium features, filter updates, no watermarks, and an ad-free experience. Personally, I couldn’t imagine spending money on an app like this as some of the filters aren’t even great. If you’re going to spend money on an app to enhance your features, FaceTune is your best bet.

The Verdict

As a result, I found the Face App to be a fun little game to play, but I don’t see it as an app that is going to stay on people’s phones for long. Everyone is obsessed with it this week but I don’t think anyone will be playing it by next week. It’s just a little bit of fun to see what you would look like as an old person, then it’s time to move on.

However, this game does have a lot of potentials to be something bigger, I just know that a lot of people get weird about downloading games that scan your face just in case the pictures are being sold to the government. But it’s unlikely, it’s just a game.

If you decide to download Face App, let us know what you think and if you agree or disagree with any of the things we said. Happy gaming and stay casual!
