MSQRD (aka Masquerade), the popular iOS app that lets you put silly faces on top of selfies, is finally making its way over to Android.
MSQRD hasn’t been released on the Google Play Store yet, but you can download the beta APK here, courtesy of APK Mirror. (Update: it’s now on Google Play!)
You can take still shots and video with MSQRD, and you don’t have to have actual people around to use it on—MSQRD works just as well with photos of people. The app is also able to adapt to your facial expression, so closing your eyes, tilting your head, or opening your mouth will change the “mask” accordingly.
Once you’re done, you can share your picture or video to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and it’ll be available in your gallery app as well.
There aren’t a ton of masks available at present, but look for them to grow and for a “mask store” to be implemented as the app progresses through beta. And sadly, after a short investigation, MSQRD does not appear to work on cats. Oh well… can’t have it all.
