Any good apps for taking passport pictures?

Good idea.
My AAA office is an hour away and a CVS is a few miles away. AAA took my photo for my IDL in May.
In any case, it helps to have someone know what they are doing, to prevent future delays in processing the passport. A friend's was sent back because her hair was down on her face. Not allowed. She's a hairdresser of all things! LOL
Can't smile either. IMO it's "worth it" to have someone who knows what they are doing to take the photo.

No need for an app. Just take a photo with your smartphone camera.
Here's how to do it -

I've used one of the many passport apps (not sure which one - likely just chose a highly rated one at the Play Store) and it worked well, making it easy to get the head size right. The only time the passport office wasn't happy with it was when the background was too gray - not white enough. Worth the extra work probably only if few bucks you'll save is worth it to you (it was to me at one time).

"Not trying to save, just curious. CVS is around the corner so that's the easiest option."
It is for me. Especially if you are going to need the passport in the near future. My friend's passport application was returned for a better photo. I just don't want to mess with that kind of aggravation. I needed a good photo for another reason (ID) and stopped at CVS and walked out with one in a few minutes. I vote "easy" and getting it right the first time.

Good point.
Well, the three things we know for sure =
1) white backgound (my CVS pulls down an old fashioned screen for the photo and has the carpet marked for the subject and photographer to stand.)
2) don't smile
3) pull your hair off your face. Bangs were a no-no for my friend.

My 5 year grandson just applied for a new US passport two weeks or so ago. He was not allowed to smile, which according to my daughter was very difficult for him to do!! She did get it taken at CVS.

No glasses either. Rules are here.

State Dept also has a photo tool to size and crop photos you've taken. See link below. Assumes you have a color printer and proper paper to print. I have a Canon powershot (I use for concert photography) and a Canon pro series color photo printer. So was able to do passport photos for the whole family.
