FaceMix Review

Our Review

The app merges two or more faces to create a hybrid face based on the features of the input photos, which can be taken from within the app or selected from the iphone library. Up to six input photos can be selected. Resulting photos can be saved and shared via MMS or email. Faces are divided into six components: eyes, nose, eyebrows, mouth, chin and hair. Mix mode allows the user to shuffle through features or arrange them at will. Play mode will show the user a face and challenge him to rebuild it based on the available features, challenging the player to utilize facial recognition skills.

This all is a great concept, but achieving good results is very difficult in practice. Pictures must have exactly the same lighting and scale to merge effectively. Getting kids to sit still long enough for an unblurred front face shot was more challenging than I had imagined.

Pretty fun, with the caveats mentioned above, I recommend.

Description from the Developer

"Well worth your time. Very clean interface and results that will give you giggle fits."

"This is a wonderful app to play with in a group or better yet a family (which has similar looks). Take a picture of everybody in the same light and then mix and match. The app has a game mode but the real fun is just to put the faces together in any way that you like. It is amazing to see what a different pair of eyes can do."
