The application lets its users upload a religious figure of their choosing and then place a photo of themselves into the photo—instantly transforming their photo into a saintly version of themselves. The program was made in good fun; however, apparently the ‘Me So Holy’ iPhone app wasn’t funny to the Apple team, who found it too offensive for sale. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Controversial Mobile Apps:** There is a growing trend of controversial mobile apps that push the boundaries of what is acceptable in mobile app stores. - **Personalized Photo Editing Applications:** There is an increasing demand for personalized photo editing applications, which can transform photos into artistic, humorous or stylized versions of themselves. - **Religious-themed Technology Products:** There is a niche for religious-themed technology products, such as apps, devices and software that cater to the spiritual or religious needs of consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile App Development:** Developers need to be aware of the content restrictions and community standards of mobile app stores in order to create apps that are both innovative and acceptable. - **Photography and Imaging:** As photo editing apps continue to grow in popularity, there are opportunities for innovation in developing more sophisticated and customizable tools that cater to a wide range of users. - **Religious and Spiritual Products:** There is a market for technology products that provide religious or spiritual guidance, such as meditation apps, virtual temples, and interactive prayer books. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Virtual Faith-Based Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sri-mandir.md) - [Heavenly Behavioral Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-holiest-crap-card-game.md) - [Holistic Spiritual Journey Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiritual-journey.md) - [Spiked Holy Water Seltzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiked-holy-water-seltzer.md) - [Accessible Vatican Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vatican-app.md) - [Religious AI Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamosque-app.md) - [Comprehensive Christian Scripture Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scripture-app.md) - [Religious Mascot Official Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luce.md) - [AI Scripture Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deargod.md)
