Good day Derek (and the rest),

Great release!!! I downloaded it 2 days ago and already commented about
it on my FB page...

The app does mostly as advertised (something we are getting used to from
Guardian).

I did notice however 2 little thing.

- When you take a picture and the face is reflected in the mirror it
doesn't recognize the "face" area.
- It wasn't clear out of the box how the settings for "obscurity" were
accessed. Would it be possible that after the facial area is discovered
the menu pops up for the settings to change?

Cheerz,
Tom
