Perfect me: ALGORITHMIC HUMAN ADJUSTMENTS

What kind of apps are suggested based on face and body editor apps in Google Play Store?

App suggestions based on the search results of users usually are precise algorithmic calculations, which help users explore more alternative options based on their interests. Exploring the semantics of the categorization is relevant in the case of face and body modification apps because of their peculiar nature that stands between different borders of classification (photographic manipulation, entertainment, editing softwares).

Main Findings
