Key takeaways for ZombieFaced Scary Photo Filter
Where is it heading?

- Intrusive launch-ads freeze the app, which directly correlates with the negative sentiment themes found in recent reviews.
The SWOT
- On-the-fly FX adjustment mechanic reduces creative friction
- Implementing multi-mask layering addresses top user request
