OnSkin: Beauty Product Scanner
doubtful ratingPeople value OnSkin for being certified by skin specialists and for a quick cosmetics check, and it genuinely helped some with acne. But the reviews show it forces payment from the first screen with no real free limit, which angers people expecting a trial. It's technically shaky too: analysis of unfamiliar products hangs for months, K-beauty barely gets found, and Apple ID-only sign-in often fails.
textAvg 4.05 versus 4.69 in store at 63 percent fives, but many fives are empty ("The app is really good", "Good app", a string of stylized characters). Real specifics sit mostly in complaints: months stuck on "analyzing", won't find K-beauty, barcode stopped scanning. That ratio of empty fives to detailed criticism raises questions.
