Developed and designed by The Dapper Gentleman, the application is available to download for 99 cents, but it needs more than 5 MB of free space in your iPhone. As featured in the Daily Mail, the Ugly Meter application has displayed some controversial scores for some of the most glamorous faces in pop culture.
