The app suffers from several flaws, not least of which is the fact that the . Unless you've got an extremely patient friend or loved one willing to photograph you on a daily basis, you'll need to do the awkward "hold, twist, and pray" move required for iPhone self-portraits. (Or you could turn to still another app such as or that provides some self-portrait functionality.)

Once you've managed to snap your photo, Daily Mugshot lets you pinch and zoom to align it with landmarks you set on your first photo, so that each day's mugshot lines up with all the others. (You can only set those landmarks on the Website itself.) The big problem is that those landmarks rarely load, and when they do, it takes ages. Pinching and zooming also seems more finicky and frustrating than in other apps that enable such manipulations.

If you really want to take a photo of your face each day, use your computer's webcam and the Daily Mugshot Website, which isn't weakened by the frustrations and awkward posing of the iPhone app.
