Normally, to use the better quality and higher resolution camera on the back of your phone to take selfies requires a lot guesswork as you cannot see front screen of your camera

You also need to clumsily click the screen to take the actual photo.

Smart selfie can identify one or multiple faces, then direct the user to move the phone position so that is is in the optimal position. It will then automatically take the photo once your camera is in position.

Another great advantage is not all android smart phones have a front camera so this app would be perfect for owners of such phones to take selfies.

Current selfie apps in the android market simply switch to the lower quality front camera as a default or they might have features that will take photos when your whistle or provide voice commands. This is a rather cumbersome way to take selfies. Some may have a library of cool photos filters and effects, but these do not actually assist in taking the actual photos.

At the time of writing ICS (4.0) is required for full functionality. With 4.0 you can automatically take photos and share them online via social networking sites or pass the photo to other apps for further enhancements.

The core functions will run at 3.2 or higher. The app will lack the ability to share photos if your OS is less than 4.0

For those running and OS between 2.2 and 3.1. You will get the full facial detection and voice guidance feature, however the photo must be taken manually once the camera is in position. (This may be changed in the future.)

Limitations of this version:

*5MP max image taken on back Camera (if your phone is capable of higher resolutions photos will be taken at 5MP)

*Detect Up to 4 people.

Requirements

Min Requirements CPU: 800mhz OS: 2.3+

Recommended Requirements CPU:Quad Core 1Ghz+ OS: 4.0+

Other Requirements: You device needs to have a back camera!!!!!!

That aside at the moment the UI is a train-wreck, the core functionality seems to work well. Feel free to download the app, take a few selfies and provide feedback to see how it works on different devices.

In additional i would like you know how you feel about:

1) The voice guidance quality? This was taken from several recordings done on an android phone in relatively noisy conditions, I had all sort of background noises like light aeroplanes, garbage trucks, bird tweeting, clothes dryer, strong wind, traffic, and some paper rustling.

2) Do you think it app takes too long to take a selfie?

3) The limitations are they ok? This app allows better quality selfies even on new devices like Samsung galaxy 5, which sports a 2MP front camera.

4) Any other feedback/comments/tips?
