About this app

Study the human head from every angle.

FaceRef Studio puts a 3D head on your desk while you draw. Rotate it with one finger, pinch to zoom, and light it the way you need - then get back to your paper or tablet.

25 MODELS ACROSS 4 CATEGORIES

Basic - two plane-broken heads, plus sphere, cube, cone and cylinder for blocking out forms

Classic - the Asaro head in simple and detailed versions, and a skull

Stylized - male, female and teen sculpts

Detailed - realistic male and female heads, with and without hair

LIGHT IT YOURSELF

Three spotlights you can move, dim and recolour. Drop a key light from above, kick in a rim from behind, and watch the planes of the face resolve the way they do in life.

SEE THE FORM

Switch on the wireframe to read the topology underneath - useful when you are working out how one plane turns into the next.…

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

In the app package we scanned

Store update history

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.

App Store

Version 1.0.1 · 2026-10-19
Lighting presets Ten slots to save a whole three-light setup at once - the colour, brightness and direction of every light. Name a slot, load it back whenever you need it, and it stays on your device between sessions. The first row puts every light back to the lighting the app ships with, so a setup that has wandered off is always one tap from a known start. A new way to aim a light Each light's direction is now set by dragging its dot around a shaded ball instead of three sliders. The ball previews the lighting on a sphere as you move, and the outer ring reaches round behind the model for rim and back light. Built for fingers Dragging the light ball or the colour wheel now moves the…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
