Face Secret

In the Google Play application store we find everything. And we don't say literally, so as not to get our fingers caught. Weird, strange and fun applications there are plenty but none have caught our attention like this one. And it is that, in general, these types of applications are not usually at the top of the popular applications, really useful tools such as WhatsApp, Netflix, Wallapop or Instagram always occupy that site. Well, today we have woken up with an application that currently occupies second place among popular applications.His name is Face Secret and he has everything.

Who is behind Face Secret?

It even has a terrible rating in the Play Store, barely two stars out of five. Some of the pearls that users have shed make it clear that this is not an application that we should blindly trust:

" Awful! First it asks me to pay in 3 days and to enter my card, I deny that option and then it allows me to use the app! I'm worried they're going to charge me something. Because it really is a very bad app. I hope to receive some answer. »

« (…) I tried to unsubscribe but it wouldn't let me. He still wanted to make the payment, only there was no balance. And it still won't let me delete. I took out the app and it still doesn't allow it! »

" Awful. A colossal waste of time to install it, it doesn't let you start it if you don't put the checkbook in front of you. Plus, it's ridiculously expensive.»

Faced with such a scenario, we have decided to put on the fireproof suit, activate our antivirus and download it to test it and see what is behind Face Secret. First of all, we take a look at the technical section of the application. On Google Play, in the developer section, only an email appears with the username 'Facereadingtech'. In addition, an address, 1195 Bordeaux Dr，Sunnyvale，CA 94089. Since we didn't find anything for the username, we tried to enter the other information we have. And here we do have more clues. It turns out that this address located in the state of California belongs to Baidu, the Chinese Google A browser that develops an application with tools as 'suggestive' as guessing the appearance of your child or guess your future just by looking at your face? Suspicious.

We tested Face Secret so you don't have to

We download it. Its weight is 23.20 MB, nothing particularly exaggerated. As soon as we open the application, we are shown, in an illustration, everything that we can take advantage of this tool. We will be able to know, thanks to a face scan, our he alth, professional aspirations, money, love and, this more plausible, beauty. Everything, as you can see, very rigorous and scientific. To continue testing the application, you have to pay. And nothing of 1 euro for the app, or 3 euros a month, no... 21 euros a month is what the application asks you to know if you are going to win the Euromillion through the contour of your lips. Of course, the app offers you three months of free trial. Very considerate.

The permissions requested by the application are exaggerated. Not only is it limited to the camera, that would be logical, but it also asks us, among other things, for information about our WiFi connection, to be able to read the call information and contacts and a total access to our deviceThe developer of the app, Voyage Photo Lab, has another app with similar views. It is clear that we discourage the installation of either of these two tools.
