First, this app seems to only be available in the UK. Second, if a blind person is wanting to take a picture of a friend or relative, and they wanted external confirmation that the person was actually smiling when they took the picture, that could be one, granted very limited, use for this app. Anyone who might be randomly taking pictures of strangers has other issues to deal with than blin blindness.
