NuFACE

Review by eFreeware

NuFACE is the companion app from the beauty brand of the same name, built around its microcurrent devices. It is a free download with no advertising and no in-app purchases, and it has passed 50,000 installs on Google Play with a 3.6 average across 799 ratings. The core idea is straightforward: the app supplies guided video tutorials for microcurrent treatments, so the routine happens the way the brand intends rather than by memory or guesswork.

The main reason to consider it is structure. Instead of piecing together a routine from videos and forum posts, you follow step-by-step sessions led by people the developer presents as experts, choosing a treatment that matches whatever skin concern you are working on. For anyone who owns a NuFACE device and wants a consistent way to use it, that is the appeal.

Guided tutorials for your treatment routine

The tutorials are the heart of the app. Each one walks through a treatment step by step, which the developer says takes the guesswork out of the process. You pick a session according to the skin concern you want to address, then follow along with the video, adjusting your hand position and glide as the instructor demonstrates.

What I like about this approach is the emphasis on technique rather than just a timer. Microcurrent work depends heavily on how the device is moved across the face, and watching someone perform the movements is a more useful reference than a written routine. The developer describes the videos as expert-led, and for a device that rewards precision, that framing makes sense.

It also means the app is a teaching tool as much as a scheduler. If you are new to the device, the guided format gives you a sequence to repeat until the movements feel natural. If you have used it for a while, the same library is a way to vary your sessions by concern instead of doing the same pass every time.

Keeping your device and supplies in order

Two smaller jobs sit alongside the tutorials. The first is replenishment: the app lets you order NuFACE Microcurrent Skincare. That is convenient if you already buy the brand's conductive gel and other supplies, since it keeps the purchase in the same place as the instructions.

The second is device upkeep. The app delivers automatic software updates to your NuFACE device, which the developer links to your best lifting results. You do not have to think about firmware versions or check for updates manually.

Neither feature is glamorous, but together they cover the practical side of owning the device: keeping it current and keeping the supplies you need on hand. The app is essentially the maintenance layer around the treatment itself.

What you need before you start

The app is a companion, not a standalone beauty tool. Everything it does assumes you own a NuFACE microcurrent device, because the tutorials teach you how to use that hardware and the update feature exists to keep it current. Without the device, there is no treatment to follow along with.

Setup itself is light by the sound of it. You download the app, and the software updates arrive automatically from then on. The rest of the experience is choosing a treatment and following the video, so there is not much to configure before your first session.

The app has been available since July 2022 and was last updated in June 2026, with the most recent release described as small improvements and bug fixes rather than new features. That tells you the developer is maintaining it, but it also suggests the feature set is settled rather than expanding quickly.

A companion for device owners

This app is built for people who already own a NuFACE device and want help using it well. That includes newcomers who would rather be shown the correct technique than figure it out alone, and long-time owners who want a catalog of sessions organized around different skin concerns.

It also suits anyone who prefers to buy their skincare refills in the same place they get their instructions. The combination of tutorials, supplies and automatic updates makes the app a single hub for the routine rather than a collection of separate chores.

The rating sits at 3.6 from 799 reviews, which is a middling score for an app with this many installs. I would read that as a sign that expectations vary among device owners, and it is worth keeping in mind if you weigh store ratings heavily before installing.

The case for installing NuFACE

NuFACE is a free, ad-free companion app that does three things: it teaches microcurrent technique through guided videos, it sells the skincare you use with the device, and it keeps the device's software up to date. For someone who owns the hardware, those are the three jobs that matter, and the app handles them without cost or clutter.

The limits are inherent to what it is. It cannot do anything for you without a NuFACE device, and its scope stops at tutorials, refills and updates. The app suits people who already use NuFACE devices and want to keep their routine and their refills in one place.

If you own a NuFACE device and want a structured, video-led way to use it, the app is an easy addition to your routine. If you do not own the device, there is nothing here for you yet.
