I look about twice as old as any of them, because I am. My doctor said I am one of those people whose age is difficult to guess, even to an examining physician. ---

I used a few photos from the past year- the oldest I look is 46, the youngest 16(!). Most hit in the late 20s. I’m 50. I look young for my age - not that young. ---

I used to look young for my age but now I look old (which I am). According to this site, I look 8 years older than I am. Oh well. I put up a picture of a friend who is 90 and it said she’s 90, so sometimes it works I guess. ---

It gave me an age of 41. I am 54. Seems a little on the low side. I would have said 45 if I’d just met myself. I have always looked younger than I am. ---

Said 33, I’m 38. I do get told i look young for my age a lot. ---

Um, …I’m 60 an I got 33. 50 I might believe. 33 means the thing is whacked, or wants me to send money for something. :dubious: ---

It said I look 49, and I’m 70. I think I look in my mid-to-late 50s. Both of my parents looked young for their ages too. I also tried a pic of me when I was 5. It said I looked 7. So I didn’t always look younger. ---

Pretty accurate: I’m 59, they said 56. ---

I am 57. Took two pictures right after each other in Apple’s PhotoBooth, one with glasses on and smiling, and one with glasses off not smiling. First said 58, second 46. And from the files my 57 year old wife and 30 year old son posed together were identified as 79 and 56 respectively. Posed with my 14 year old daughter my wife was called 67 and my daughter 19. Not so impressive. ---

Errrmm yeah, I do get a lot of pleasant comments when I reveal my age, but this is ridiculous. The app says I look 28 in [this pic](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0f1NNRLZ8wZZGVlQ3M0Y3JUb28/view?usp=sharing) (admittedly, b/w is flattering). I mean, come on. In August I’ll be 50. I _wish_ I could pass for 44, much less anything younger! ---

> [@The\_Mighty\_Boosh](#): > > My son’s 6. The app guessed he was 24. Yeah. I think it’s meant for adults. My son is 9, and it guessed he was 28. I’m 49, and it guessed I was 30. Probably has something to do with the fact that I don’t wear make-up. I’ve been told I don’t look like I’m almost fifty, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I have little grey hair, and my hair is still very thick. I do not look 30 by any stretch. If I told you I was 43 or 44 you’d probably believe me, but that’s about as much as I could get away with shaving off. I suppose If I said 40, you _might_ believe me, but you’d think “Wow, she looks terrible.” I’d rather look good for 50 than terrible for 40. ---

I am 46. For five different pictures it guessed 42, 43, 47, 51, and 54. If you average them together it’s pretty close to my actual age. ---
