Her app, named after her, has even made it to the top 25 list on Apple’s App Store.It allows users to view Kimberly Chia’s photos, including childhood pictures, and receive feeds from Twitter, Blog and Facebook updates from her.One star attraction of the app is that users can take a photo with Kimberly Chia, using photo templates that feature her.While the app appears to be popular with her fans, some netizens are also saying it is “superficial and like a stalker app”.

A netizen even commented that the app makes her seem “self-indulgent” and “narcissistic”.

Another feature of the app allows users to pay US$0.99 (S$1.25) to view three exclusive photos of the celebrity. However, the photos cannot be saved to the user’s phone.On this paid feature, netizens feel that the definition of ‘exclusive’ is marred, as “the pictures are not exclusive if everyone who pays can get it”.

Some netizens even took to criticising Kimberly Chia altogether, saying “She does not seem to have different facial expressions in her photos, what’s the point of getting ‘exclusive’ photos when her expression is only the same plastered smile?”
