Location problems

Doesn't detect location and can't enter it in manually.. It's a shame

Hopeless

Waste of time downloading. Hangs on search for location & no way to manually change setting.

Not very good at all

Doesn't allow you to move or resize your image within the old image or match up the same tint of black and white or sepia or brightness manually so unless photo is spot on size-wise and taken at the right angle it just looks like it is.....a poor attempt to put your face into an old pic. "Old Photo Booth" app is far better. Using your camera to take a pic produces even worse photos! Also, a pop up window asked me to enter my location "manualy". The word manually has two "ll's" don't think this has been researched or thought out at all well. Shame cos I had high hopes. Have now deleted it.

Can't detect location.

Can't detect location even with location services switched on. Won't give me the option of manually entering location either. Just stuck on initial screen.

Good fun

Fun little app!

Great fun & surprisingly convincing old pics!

What a fantastic little app. Had a good hour of fun putting my own and friends names/pics into this, resulting in some hilarious historical images. Tip: if you don't like the pic or the options offered, just press back and try again - there seem to be loads of different historical photos to choose from. They won't always be your gender, but that often just makes it even funnier. The image saves to your camera roll when you choose the pic, so you don't even need to post to FB if you've already shared a few.
