Our final offering, by no means least, is BestMe, a free selfie app designed specifically to make it easier to share your selfies on your social media pages. It has plenty of features, including no less than 125 filters, including a Mirror, Filter grid, and Halo real-time filters, collage filter, and editors designed to let you capture the perfect selfie or edit one you already took.

All of these apps are free to download, and only two of them offer in-app purchases. You do have the option of setting a pin or a password for all in-app purchases on your Android device, not a bad idea if your device is shared with your children or other family members. To do that:
- Launch the Google Play app on your tablet or smartphone
- Tap the Menu button on your device and open Settings
- Go down to the section for User Controls
- Tap the option to Set or Change PIN/Password option
- Input a 4-digit PIN or a password
- Go back to User Controls and enable the option to Use PIN/Password for Purchases
Selfies are definitely popular these days, but it seems that we are not happy with our own faces anymore. The obsession with selfie apps is as popular as selfies themselves, and all of these give us the option to change our faces with filters and stickers. While there are tons of selfie apps on the app store, we felt that these were the best ones, offering by far the best features for free. And most offer more than enough that the in-app purchases are just not important. Do give them all a try, see which one offers the features that you want for your selfies.
