WARNING: Nine Photo, a blatantly misleading described app for your iPhone

You may have seen Nine Photo for iPhone listed in the App Store, with the above Photo and following app description, and wondered what you would get for your £1.49/$1.99/€1.59? (read on to find out)

"WOW~~~ NinePhoto price now is 50% off for the limit of time only!
What are you waiting for? Just download it as fast as possible!

Do you want to have a photo application that using the latest iOS 5 features? Here it is – NinePhoto!

NinePhoto is the great photo app that it will combine nine photos into one with the fantasy templates! It is simple and easy to use!

Key features:

  1. Real-time face detection, NinePhoto will help you find out all the faces in one shot and crop them out separately.
  2. Auto capture function - You are no need to press any "start" or "capture" button! What do you need to do? Just hold up your iOS device then start to capture!
  3. Stable detection function - You are no need to care about you will capture any blur photo anymore! This is because NinePhoto will not capture any photo if your hand is shaking.
  4. Object motion detection function - You are no need to care about you will capture any blur photo anymore! This is because NinePhoto will not capture any photo if the target object is moving.
  5. Auto Camera control - NinePhoto will help to handle all camera setting, auto-focus, auto-white balance . . . etc. What do you want to do? Just focus your target!
  6. Fantasy Templates - NinePhoto will help you to combine all photos with the fantasy templates that you have never seen before!
  7. Support both Face & Object mode - you can switch between face-detection and object-detection mode at any time!"

Well, what you get for £1.49/$1.99/€1.59, is a misleading, app, that takes 9 photos (no option to import from the camera roll), then randomly adds them to an unknown random template, before saving the crapter-piece (just like the one seen right) to your camera roll at a stunning 460 x 320 pixels.

Whilst Nine Photo may not be a scam app like some that have been hitting the App Store recently, it is without a doubt a blatantly misleading described app, and one I would advise avoiding.

I suppose the customer support email address (handsup.good) wasn't enough of a tip-off?

That is pretty vexing. Don't they know the worst thing they can do in marketing is lie about their delivery, especially in this age of social media?
