Thanks for leaving the comment, because it was my first thought too. What's peculiar is its accuracy doesn't appear to be much better than a visual only app (based on a quick google of iphone app accuracy levels). Could be similar to the 'should self driving cars be visual only' debate - it might seem intuitive that more data sources should improve results, but in practice it's not necessarily the case.

Image resolution, lighting, and skin pigmentation will affect the accuracy of any image analysis app. I have a feeling a lot of those apps exist solely to collect and resell data. It doesn't actually matter that they are accurate or not, what matters is that you were concerned and that data point can be resold with the rest of the data you give them.
