These are the questions people ask before they trust an app with a photo of their hand. We build one, so we can answer them from the inside: what makes a palm photo readable, what to check in an app before you install it, how the pricing in this category actually works, and where your photo goes after you upload it.

  • How to photograph your palm

    What actually makes a palm photo readable, taken from the checks the app runs: brightness, sharpness, and how much of the frame your hand fills. Orientation makes no difference.

  • What to check before you install a palm reading app

    Not a ranking. Four specifications you can verify yourself from the store page and the free tier: whether it shows detection before payment, how it charges, whether you can correct a line, and what it says about your photo.

  • How free palm reading apps actually charge

    What Free means on a palm reading app listing, broken into the three models: ad-supported, one-time in-app purchase, and subscription. How to tell which one you are installing.

  • What happens to your palm photo

    What to verify before handing a palm reading app a photo of your hand: the stated deletion window, whether biometric use is ruled out, whether the permissions match the feature, and the billing trap that causes most real complaints.
