Potentially mean-spirited app makes people look fat.

Is It Any Good?
FATBOOTH is a one-joke app that transforms portrait subjects from normal size to fat size. It's simple to use; just frame a friend within an oval shown on your iPhone's screen, snap a picture, and then slide the markers for eyes, mouth, and chin over the appropriate areas of the subject. Then shake your phone to switch between normal and fat versions of the person in the photo. You can save the fat pictures and send them to others by tapping icons for email, Twitter, and Facebook at the bottom of the screen. It works well enough for what it is; subjects look authentically obese. However, most people will grow tired of in minutes, and those who don't will likely use it only to make fun of the people they morph into more obese versions of themselves. There's really not much to recommend it.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
