Future You: Face Aging&AI Palm

Why I Downloaded Future You: Face Aging&AI Palm

It was a rainy Tuesday morning and I was scrolling through my phone, bored out of my mind. My buddy Mark, who’s always trying random apps, sent me a screenshot of his “aged” face looking like a grumpy grandpa. I laughed so hard coffee almost came out my nose. He said it was this free app called Future You that ages your face and even reads your palm. I figured why not, it’s free, and I wanted to see if I’d still look cool when I’m old. So I downloaded it on my Samsung Galaxy S23 right there at my kitchen table.

Standout Features

The main thing is the face aging – you take a selfie and it shows you at different ages like 50, 60, even 80. It actually looked pretty realistic, not like those blurry filter apps. My face got more wrinkles and my hair grayed out in a natural way. The palm reading thing is a whole other beast though. You snap a picture of your palm and it gives you this report about your health and life expectancy. I didn’t believe it at first but the line it talked about on my life line actually matched a scar I had. Creepy but cool. There’s also skincare tips based on how you age, which I didn’t use much but my girlfriend thought it was neat. And you can make a little time-lapse video of your face getting older – I sent that to my mom and she cried laughing.

Daily Use Experience

Honestly I don’t use it every day because once you’ve seen yourself old a few times it’s not as exciting. But for the first two weeks I was obsessed. I’d age my face at different angles, with different lighting, even with a hat on. The app was pretty fast on my S23, no lag or crashes. The palm reading part took a few tries because it needs good lighting for the camera to read the lines. I sat by my window one afternoon and finally got a clear scan. The interface is simple enough – big buttons, easy to understand. No confusing menus or pop-up ads every five seconds, which I really appreciated. I showed it at a family dinner and everyone wanted a turn. My uncle got offended when it said he had a “short temper line” though – that was hilarious.

Cost Breakdown

It’s free to download and you get the basic face aging and one palm reading for free. That was enough for me honestly. But there is a premium version that unlocks more aging filters and detailed palm reports. I think it was like $4.99 or something when I checked. I didn’t pay because I’m cheap and the free stuff already gave me plenty of laughs. No subscription nonsense which I hate. Just a one-time buy if you want extras. My friend Mark paid for premium and said it was worth it for him because he’s super into the palm stuff. I’d say try the free version first and only pay if you really get into it.

Support Experience

I only contacted support once. The palm reading feature kept saying “unable to detect lines” even when I had good lighting. I sent a message through the app on a Friday night. They got back to me on Monday afternoon – so a few days, not hours. But the reply was actually helpful. They told me to clean my camera lens and make sure my palm was flat on a white background. I tried that and it worked perfectly. So yeah it took a bit but the person was nice and didn’t give me some robot copy-paste answer. I appreciated that.

Privacy Verdict

Look I’m not some super private person but I do think about it. The app asks for camera access obviously. Their privacy policy says they process photos on their servers but don’t store them after. I’m not sure I 100% believe that but I didn’t see any weird stuff happen. No spam emails or my photos showing up anywhere. I’d say if you’re worried, use it for the face aging part only since that seems less personal than your palm. But honestly for a free app it’s about what you’d expect. I wouldn’t upload anything you’re not comfortable with just in case.
