True Visage

The most obvious use of this app is as a mirror. You get your choice of the geometry of a glass mirror, or the geometry of an external observer's view, where your right ear will be on their left. But it's a mirror, and like real mirrors, it doesn't take photos, or video clips, or sing your favorite disco songs. Well actually, it will take a photo and add it to your camera roll, if there's information in the current view you'd like to refer to later. But wait — there's more! You can use the front camera or the rear one, turn on your iPhone's flash or not, and stretch the image to see a closeup with good resolution. That flexibility allows you to use the app to read the teeny-tiny serial number on a poorly-lit piece of equipment, for instance — a job which would otherwise require a flashlight, a magnifying glass, and three hands. Save the image to the camera roll, and transcribe the identifiers later, or mail the photo to the vendor's tech support person. This developer makes well-designed, useful tools to solve real problems gracefully. I've bought 5 of them, and find them all useful — frequently, or rarely. When I need their particular function, I'm glad that I've got them.

Because you made yourself up or combed your hair while looking at a mirror image. This is an inverted or flipped image of what you see in photos of yourself, which is what people really see when they look at you. I'd been combing my hair the wrong way for years until I used True Visage. Now, what I see when I get ready is what I see in photos taken of me, or video. No more surprises, and I can make sure I look my best in photos and to other people. Highly recommend this app!

Love this app. Autofocus is good. You can switch between front and back cams. Absolutely great for using as a webcam with quick time on Mac or as a second camera on zoom. But I would pay extra to be able to switch between the two (or in some cases, three) rear cameras. I’d also pay for ability to adjust focus and exposure manually.

I could never understand why the front camera on the iPhone only allows you to see yourself as if you're looking in the mirror. When it reverses those pictures, it distorts your image. Using this app, you see yourself as a photographer would see you. This allows you to take better selfies. And it's ad-free!

While other mirror apps can only reflect your image like a mirror does, this app enables you to see yourself the way other people do. You could pay $200 for a true mirror, as they are called, or get this app for free. What makes this app truly great, even revolutionary, is that if you have to apply makeup or trim your nose hair or do anything else to your face, this makes it completely easy. In regular mirror apps, you run into the same difficulties you do with a real mirror: try to move your hand left, and it goes right in the mirror and makes it really hard to do anything. But this app provides the perfect solution. Bravo!
