We both have somewhat blond-ish coats and we both howl if we don't get fed in a timely manner. Maybe there is some resemblance after all. This time Squiggy was 56 percent dad only and 44 percent me. Perhaps Garfield was too cartoonish? I tried again with a scowling Grumpy Cat as the father. The app reported Squiggy's looks were only 17 percent Garfield and 83 percent mine. I entered my profile picture as the mom, a sulky image of Garfield as the dad and a photo of Squiggy lounging in the clothes dryer as the baby. Well, I don't have the human variety of children, but I am the single mom of a fat, furry feline named Squiggy. "I knew it'd come out eventually," she posted the findings with laughing emoji. One woman, who posted her parents as a pepperoni pizza (dad) and a unicorn (mom), learned that she looked 74 percent unicorn.Īnother posted her photo and a child's photo with handsome actor Liam Hemsworth as the father.

Looking up the hashtag on Facebook and Twitter, I found funny examples of Like Parent gone, like, crazy. It says which percent of one's looks come from the father and mother, and the results can be shared via social media with the #Likeparent hashtag. A timer wheel appears, as do the less-than-true words "Using advanced algorithm," before Like Parent produces less-than-scientific results. How it works, well, how it doesn't: One downloads a photo of a father, then a mother, then a child. Well, maybe not to those who reviewed it as "Complete rubbish," "BIG LIE," "Waste of time," "Not consistent," "FAKE!!!!!!" and "Sooooo Inaccurate!" How-Old actually scans faces, but still guesses age and sex incorrectly both regularly and ridiculously. If the typos don't alert users to Like Parent's imprecision, this warning probably should: " Note This app is intended for entertainment purposes only and does not provide true facial scanning functionality." So it's not like the also hot Microsoft How-Old app that I recently wrote about.

It can analyse your face and show who look like you the most. It even admits being inaccurate in its clumsily written description to those who bother to read prior to downloading: "Did you every wonder who are the most resemble to you, mom or dad?!? Try this app. While Like Parent is all the rage on social media, the app only has earned a 1 1/2 stars out of five rating in the App Store. Such questions can be solved by the popular app Like Parent. Do you look more like your mom or your dad?ĭo your kids look more like you or your spouse?ĭo you look more like a unicorn or a pepperoni pizza?
