Microsoft Selfie Reviews

by Nelson.wp

This has to be a joke. It doesn't even recognize it's taking a selfie in the dark. No screen flash or anything. Very primative. Why would someone with an iPhone use such horrible software? I only downloaded it out if curiosity and suspect that's why anyone else would. It's definitely not anything special. The photography settings and AI software in the iPhone camera app are much better!

There is a bug in this version (2.2.0) that will not let you select a picture. It tells you to go authorize access to photos in settings/Microsoft selphie, but that is not an available option.
Also I am not sure if this problem is a new problem, but I have taken photos in MicrosoftSelfie and selected to use the photo, but it did not save the photo. If this is how MicrosoftSelfie is designed, then I would recommend allowing you to take multiple pictures in MicrosoftSelfie and keeping them and allowing you to go back later to choose the edit options.

This used to be my favorite app for quick edits. Now I cannot open an existing photo in MicrosoftSelfie , there’s no option to give it permission in settings. Okay, fine, I snapped a few pics using MicrosoftSelfie and did the edits there. Saves to camera roll fine. BUT when I try to edit this pictures later in the photos app (specifically crop them), the photos app crashes! This only happens in photos taken with Microsoft Selfie.

For some reason MicrosoftSelfie no longer works properly on my iphone8 . Unless I take the picture from MicrosoftSelfie it won’t let me pick the photos on my album. It prompts me to go to my settings and give it permission... would love to if it was a feature on MicrosoftSelfie. *major side eye* IF there is a fix for this- would be interested in troubleshooting.

Before updating to iOS 11 Microsoft Selfie was my favorite photo editing app. I NEVER take a photo in MicrosoftSelfie , only use it to edit apps from my camera roll, but after updating to iOS 11 I can no longer access photos from my camera roll. It gives a pop-up “Go to Settings > Microsoft Selfie > Photos” to give app permission to access photos except there’s no photo option there! Only camera. So please Microsoft correct this issue so my review can go from two to five stars.

I used to love MicrosoftSelfie but since updating my iPhone to iOS 11 I am no longer able to edit photos stored in my phone’s gallery. As others have said, this option is not even available to enable in settings, though MicrosoftSelfie prompts you to do so. Very disappointing and frustrating. Please fix this problem so I can give MicrosoftSelfie 5 stars!

Is there a reason why the pics taken in selfie mode stay reversed instead of correcting themselves like every other camera app? It become most obvious when wearing clothes with names or brand logo that appear backwards in MicrosoftSelfie.

So far it works as advertised on my iPhone 8 Plus and I haven’t had any issues except one. I had iTunes running in the background and MicrosoftSelfie turned the volume all the way down.

After closing the selfie app the volume stayed all the way down. I couldn’t figure it out and even restarted my phone. My music wasn’t playing and then I noticed the volume was minimized. I tested it and opened Selfie again and it did the same. It’s normal to attenuate or stop audio playback when camera apps are opened, but this is something that should be fixed

I appreciate that Microsoft is really trying to develop a lot of apps for iOS. They have really upped their game with apps for Office 365, but they also have simple apps like this. I appreciate that this is a very simple selfie app. No bells and whistles. It just takes selfies and then tries to smooth out any minor skin issues. (If you need a full-functioned photo editor, go with something like Google's Snapseed. This is not it.) Keep up the good work, Microsoft!

I love MicrosoftSelfie and use it to quickly edit my photos; however, MicrosoftSelfie seems to be struggling with the new iPhone update. It tells me I need to give access to my photo library, but under settings that option isn’t even available for their app. Not to mention, I’m able to open my photo library in MicrosoftSelfie , it just won’t let me select a picture.

This is by far the best photo enhancement app I have ever used. It is so much better than anything else I have ever seen in automatically and intelligently making your photos BETTER not just different that there really is nothing else out there that even comes close. When I see the lower reviews I realized that sometimes the reviews are just worthless. This isn’t a goofy Snapchat filter. It’s a serious digital portrait enhancement. Nothing else comes close.

The only thing I have found to criticize is that the AI algorithm has trouble with tilted faces or faces turned too far in any one direction. Maybe some of the reviews are from people who didn’t know that? Because then the program just doesn’t do anything except affect the tint a little bit. Pick a picture where you are looking more directly at the camera and you will see the magic. Takes 10-20 years off perfectly and instantly.

I can’t access it due to the recent update just like the other reviewers and I’m terribly upset please fix this issue otherwise your app is 5 stars in my book !!!!

Make any picture look great with this simple app! And those pictures you took in the past that didn't turn out right- MicrosoftSelfie fixes those! So happy with MicrosoftSelfie! Thanks MICROSOFT!

I saw MicrosoftSelfie when I was browsing through the Microsoft apps and I thought that I would download it and offer my thoughts after using it for a little while. I must admit that I am pleasantly surprised with how easy, successful and interesting MicrosoftSelfie has proven to be. I think this is one of those must-have apps for anyone that frequently takes pictures of themselves or with other people. The simple, subtle and noticeable difference that the Microsoft selfie app offers in comparison to a normal selfie generated from the iOS default camera is astonishing. I would recommend MicrosoftSelfie to everyone. Well done, Microsoft.

Needs to support new version for the IPhone. Needs settings for photo privileges for MicrosoftSelfie . Right now you have to point and shoot with MicrosoftSelfie . It was working awesome until now.

by Andy Grasta

How about you guys make the ability to take full pictures ?? Why the square frame of the camera ? Also, how about a night mode ?

by Meeeebeeee

This is my go-to app for editing pics but like many of the other reviewers, I cannot edit existing pictures w. giving MicrosoftSelfie permission, but that is nowhere to be found.

by Slschmidt76

This is by far the best selfie app I’ve used. It just works. I don’t have to do a bunch of different things to make the photo look great. It just does! Live the ease of use and how my photos look. Only app I use anymore.

by LynleyGirl

I thought this still didn’t work (file selection from camera roll or other places), but figured out it was something disabled in restrictions in settings- photos couldn’t be accessed by other apps under privacy. I love 💕 what the editor is capable of! Looked as if I had an eye job & laser facial. Wish it would extend to the neck area? Thanks!!

Upon seeing the 3 star review I was somewhat skeptical that it was going to be anything worth getting. However it IS Microsoft and they know what they're doing. Normally I think I look horrible in photos, especially selfies. But when I used the apps features and compared it to the original I actually squealed because it was actually REALLY GOOD. That's kinda weird cause I'm a guy but still it's a good app

This is a good app but should be consistently updated to keep in track with other apps in the iOS ecosystem with latest filters and effects.

This also needs to be updates to use the iPhone X aspect ratio and usage of the full screen.

I first thought MicrosoftSelfie would be pointless, but I still decided to try it. I made the right choice this make photos look so much better. If you like to take pictures I definitely recommend MicrosoftSelfie.
