I fully disagree. FaceApp value is that it does its job significantly better than the US competition. Users have the "old" filter on Snapchat and Facebook for years at this point, but FaceApp really has taken it to the next level. Their overnight success is not surprising. I'd tell you to try it for yourself, but I understand the hesitation.

As I said, I've been using it since its release. It's not any significantly better than it was back then.

Snapchat's are also very similar in quality. Before this whole craze about the old filter, people trended on the gender change filter. That one was on Snapchat and quickly became a meme. It was even more amazing since it was a video filter, so you could move around and stay as your opposite gender.
