MyPlaces! ($1.99)

Version – 1.2.1

Review – “A great way to sort your photos by events!”

If you spend a lot of time traveling and you love taking photos, MyPlaces! is an app that you should tame a look at! The concept is simple. MyPlaces! allows you to sort your photos by the event they were taken for. It also allows you to add location data to your photos if they’re taken with a device that does not have a built-in GPS chip.

When you open up MyPlaces! the first thing you see is a simple interface with a menu bar at the top and bottom of the screen. To add a new event, or “Group,” all you have to do is touch the “+” button in the upper right corner of the screen. All you have to do is enter a name for the group and then touch the “Done” button in the upper right corner. You can sort the list of Groups or the events within them in ascending or descending order by touching the button in the center of the bottom of the screen.

Once you have added and opened up a “Group” you can add individual locations, photos and notes by touching the “+” button in the upper right corner. You’ll be taken to a screen with a map to enter in location you are posting about. At the bottom of the screen is a “Notes” button that will let you view and edit the name of the event and add relevant notes and photos.

It may seem a little silly at first to put your photos in an app to sort them by location when your iPhone already does that for you. With that said, if you’re the kind of person that takes a lot of photos, you’ll very quickly come to appreciate the fact that you can sort your photos into a variety of different sections based on where they were taken and what you were doing! All of that combined with the ability to add notes about the events you’re photographing manage to make this app quite useful.

The best selling points of this app are in how simple it manages to keep itself. At any time if you need to remove entries all you have to do is touch the “Edit” button in the upper left corner of the screen and use the familiar iPhone interface to touch the “-” button on the left and then touch the “Delete” button on the right.

While the interface is pretty simple, if you’re unsure and want to be walked through it all you have to do is touch the “?” button in the lower left corner of the screen. With that said, I don’t think very many people will ever need this feature because of how simple the app is. If you’re still unsure of how useful this app can be, I’d encourage you to try out the “Lite” version of the app for free. It is fully functional, just with ads and a limit on how many groups and events you can add.

Tap ‘n Cap ($0.99)

Version 1.1

I’m a cat person, myself.  I’ve had a few dogs over the years, and I think they’re nice enough, but I still prefer cats.  As such, the frequent pictures and videos of cats you find on the internet are great, and it’s probably no surprise that I visit a few lolcat sites when I’ve got a few spare minutes.

The one thing I’ve always wondered is how they make those lolcat pictures.  I mean, I assume they use MS Paint or something, open a picture and add in text, but it seems like more effort than it’s worth, just to put humorous captions on pictures of cats.  I’d have to take a picture of my cat, transfer it to my computer, open MS Paint, and type something witty.

… OK, so that’s not so difficult, but I’m a busy man!  I’ve got things to do and little time at home to make my lolcats.  That’s where Tap ‘n Cap comes in, putting all your lolcat-related work into one easy package.  Or, of course, your non-lolcat picture captioning work, too.

The program itself allows you to either take a picture from within the app itself, using your iPhone’s camera or select a picture from your photo gallery (making it useful on your iPad, too) and adding text before saving it or emailing it to friends.  Easy as 1-2-3.

That’s really all there is to it.  It’s one of the most simple, straightforward apps I’ve used in a long time.  It’s very intuitive; once you’ve selected your picture to edit, tap the “Caption” buton to ad a text box and type it in using the standard keyboard.  Once you’ve got your text, touch it to change the font (select from one of 2o fonts) or use two fingers to move, re-size and rotate the text.  Once you’ve finished with your masterpiece, just press “Finished” to save or mail it.

I’m also impressed with how well the fonts take to scaling.  I didn’t notice any pixellation on my iPhone 4 until the text was about double in size, and future updates promising high resolution fonts should mean that you can get them even larger soon.

With this simplicity comes a few small problems, however; once you’ve saved a photo, you can no longer edit it.  That’s not a huge deal, especially for something as simple as adding captions, but it beats starting over.  Naturally, it doesn’t overwrite the original photo, although if using a photo taken in-app you have to specify in the settings that you want to save the original.  As such, you’re in no danger of losing the original, but if you misspell something (unintentionally – we ARE talking lolcats, after all) you have to go back and re-create it.

The other issues are all minor features it would be nice to have that aren’t currently present.  These are things like being able to rotate the picture, scale or crop the picture, uploading the images to photo services or social networking sites and the like.  Fortunately, all of these things are minor and do not detract at all from the core functionality.  Better yet, all of these things are promised additions in future updeates!

As such, this app does everything it promises, it does it well and it’ll do more in the future.  If you need to get your lolcatting done, I can’t think of a better way to do it.

Almost DSLR ($1.99)

Version – 1.1.3

Review – “Take full advantage of your iOS camera!”

So you’ve heard all the talk about how great the camera’s are in the iPhone 4 and the new iPod touch? And then you saw the app that you use to actually take the pictures! While it is simple to use, certain parts of it are kind of slow and there are not very many options to customize it. If you’ve been looking for a way to really take control of the great camera in your device you might want to check out “Almost DSLR!”

The first thing I really noticed about this app is that it loads very quickly, even a little faster than the default iOS app. Once the app is loaded up you’ll see a menu full of options on the left side, two buttons for taking pictures and video at the bottom, and a small row of buttons in the upper right corner of the screen.

The app adjust quickly if you tilt it to the side, and all of the buttons remain in the same general area of the screen in landscape mode. If you’re using an iPhone 4 or a 4th generation iPod Touch you can also switch cameras by touching the button in the upper right corner of the screen.

If you touch the settings icon on the right side of the screen you’ll be able to set the camera to a variety of different quality settings. Depending on your device the settings are slightly different. For example, the iPhone 4′s maximum resolution for video is 1280×720, while the 3GS can only shoot 640×480.

There are a few other options in the settings menu that allow to set how the “Focus” and “Exposure” controls work. Basically the way that the app works is you touch something on the screen it will focus on the area. In addition if you double tap something on the screen, the app will set it’s exposure to the area of the screen that you select. In the option screen you have to ability to set whether the Focus and Exposure stay set at what you select, or if they continue to auto-adjust after you move the device.

Overall there plenty of features in this app to keep most users happy. You can set your devices LED flash to be a camera flash, or a torch. You can also Turn Focus and Exposure lock on/off, and turn the “grid” that helps you line up your pictures on or off as well!

My favorite features of this app though have to be just how quickly this app loads and that it has the ability to take pictures and to take video with the press of just one button! There is no sliding a button to the side to switch between video and photos!

Unfortunately, as good as this app is, every app has it’s faults. The main thing that really disappointed me is that “Almost DSLR” lacks a digital zoom feature. While there is a button in the upper right corner menu that allows you to select what kind of screen resolution you want, there is really not a way to zoom way in on something far away get good pictures.

All things aside, I really think that this app is going to replace the built-in iOS camera app for many people. the speed, and added features will not only allow you to take pictures more quickly, but it will also help you to take higher-quality pictures in bad lighting as well!

If you’re still reading this review and you’re just not sure if you want to download it yet, then you might want to check out the free version of the app. It has the same basic feature set as the full version and will give you an idea of how it works and feels. So what are you waiting for? Click one of the links below and check it out yourself today!

Mortgage Calculator – The Amortizer ($0.99)

Version – 1.1

Review – “A great app for homebuyers and homeowners looking to refinance!”

Whether you’re looking to buy a new house, or you’re looking at refinancing a property, wouldn’t it be great to be able to figure out what a loan would look like anywhere on your phone? Well now you can with a $0.99 app called “Mortgage Calculator – The Amortizer” for the iOS!

The app itself is pretty simple. To calculate the costs of a loan just touch the “+” button in the upper right corner of the screen and fill out the information that you see on the screen.  You’ll need to enter the purchase amount, down payment, interest rate, loan term, etc., and then touch the “Calculate” button in the upper right corner of the screen to figure out the costs associated with the proposed loan.

In addition to calculating the actual mortgage cost, you can also add in your escrow as well to get a more accurate number. To do that just touch the “Add Escrow Cost” button at the bottom of the loan information screen. You can then enter in each cost that is a part of your escrow individually, or you can add the total amount of your current escrow if you choose.

The loan breakdown that you get once you’ve calculated it offers a variety of interesting information. It calculates the total interest that you’ll pay on the loan, the total amount that you will pay on the loan if it goes as scheduled, and a breakdown of how much you will pay each month towards the interest and principal of the loan!

Another great feature of the app is the ability to generate PDF’s of the loan information and email them to anyone! To do this just touch the “Email PDF” button in the upper right corner of the screen. You’ll get the choice of whether or not to include the amortization schedule or not, and then you’ll be taken directly to a form email with the PDF attached to it.

My personal experience with this app is that it made it very easy to get quick figures on what a loan will cost you. Unfortunately what it does not have is a way to calculate what it will cost you to refinance a loan. With that said, the app is only $0.99, and the PDF email feature is a great way to share loan figures with people while on the go. I’d encourage you to head to app store and check it out for yourself today!

version 1.2.1

FREE!

AppZapp has been around for quite a while and has brought us apps like “Do Not Press The Red Button”, and many more. They have somewhere around 20 apps in their catalog for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, and they have released a new app to try and sort through it all: Discover the App Store.

AppZapp has released a new app to easily guide you through the AppStore. “Discover the App Store“ is an easy walk through all the apps has to offer, with a simple easy interface. AppZapp also has a “PriceAlarm“ function, that will always inform you of sales or promotions of certain apps you love. You just set up a free account, and select the Apps you want to monitor.

“Discover the App Store” is a great tool to help you find what your looking for in the App Store. It features the same great descriptions and details you’ve come to know from the App Store. It supports App Stores in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

AppZapp Features:
- App offers, free apps and new apps at a glance
- Detailed overview of the apps with pictures and videos
- The feature “Preisalarm“ informs you about markdowns of selected apps
- Watch list for apps
- All changes and updates at a glance
- Browse through all the AppStore categories
- Top 100 list of the most popular apps, sorted by “iPhone“, “iPad“, “Paid“ and “Free“ Apps
- Browse the various AppStores
- Price chart history for each app (30/60/90 days)
- Share Apps via Facebook / Twitter / SMS / eMail

This is a great app for monitoring the App Store. Something the is missing from the actual App Store. Being able to keep an eye on certain apps that you may find a little pricey, and know when there are going on sale, is a terrific feature, that will probably never be included by Apple. The “Changes and Updates at a glance” feature is great, if you’re interested in knowing what has recently been updated, or want to ignore updates and focus on new releases only. Seeing as this app is free, there is no reason we cannot recommend this app.

You can get AppZapp: Discover the App Store now for free, in the App Store. Get it now!

The large display of Apple’s iPad is amazing for viewing photos. You can easily put your pictures on the device for viewing wherever you go, and share with your friends anytime. You can use the touch display to swipe through your photos, pinch to zoom, and more. Well, what if you could be more interactive with your photos? What if your pictures had sound, to further immerse you into that world? What if you could touch the photo and actually interact with the scene? Magic Pictures HD – Living Pictures, exclusively for iPad, does this.

Magic Pictures HD – Living Pictures allows you to truly interact with these great photos by Tobias Tomsch. The pictures have a kind of “Ken Burns” effect, with an overlay of “particles” that you can move around with the touch of your finger. Depending on the environment of the photo, you can move bubbles, raindrops, and more.

The audio added to the photos brings in a whole other level of immersion into each world. They sound like real life recording of the outdoors, in high quality, stereo sound.

Stunning photography

Discover the beauty of our planet. A wide range of areas is covered: From snowy Austrian mountains to South American flowers – This is natures best captured in over hundered pictures!

Living pictures

Technically they are called “particles”, we call them “fascination”. Sometimes they have the form of fireflies, that follow your finger, sometimes they are dreamy bubbles that you can catch, sometimes they are rain – just wipe those drops from your iPad. Every single picture has a particle system!

A complete experience

To make the experience even more immersive, we have included relaxing nature sounds to compliment each picture/particles combination. Listen to crickets while you chase dandelions or enjoy the soothing sound of wind chimes while you watch amazing mountain views. A perfect multimedia experience!

And many more features:

1. Use in landscape or portrait mode – The pictures scroll by!
2. Particles and sound can be switched on or off

Version 1.0

If you use your iPhone to take and manipulate photos then you may be interested in what CineCrop has to offer. This app is developed by Kert Gartner and the concept behind it is simple.. take your photos and apply different cinematic aspect ratios to them to give them that cinema appearance. Let’s take a look..

When you first open the app it defaults to your photo library so that you can choose a photo that you are interested in adding a cinema effect to. After you choose your photo it goes to the main window where you can pick your crop ratio, apply the crop, go into settings, and find out application information.

You can choose your crop and then hit Apply to crop the image (which creates a new image and does not overwrite the original). You can also hit the long button on the bottom left in order to change the ratio where some of your options are High Definition TV, iPhone Full Screen, etc. You can hit the wrench and go into the Settings where you can rotate the image and even flip flop the image. By hitting the ‘i’ button you can find out more information about the Aspect Ratio or even check out the CineCrop Manual.

Once you hit Crop the next screen gives you the option to either Save or Undo. Saving the image actually gives you two options .. which is to save in to your library or to send it out in an email.

Simple enough? While this app is very simple and easy to use it can also come in handy if you are interested in a way to quickly and easily apply these types of crops to your images. If you are interested in checking this app out, head on over to the App Store today.

If you would like to see more about the app then check out the link below, which will take you to the developer’s video.

Iris Photo Suite ($0.99)

Version – 1.2

Review – “Create great looking photos directly from your iPhone!”

One of the most popular genres in the iTunes App Store is photography. The iPhone’s camera app can take some pretty decent pictures, but it lacks any extra filters or color modification abilities. Iris Photo Suite is an attempt to compile a variety of editing features that all work natively on the phone. This allows you to quickly try out several different effects because none of them are performed on servers across an internet connection!

When you open up Iris Photo Suite it gets right to the point. You’ll see three large buttons: “Edit,” “Click,” and “Restore.” Touching the edit button will open up your photo albums where you can select a photo to get started. Touching the “Click” button will open up the camera so that you can take a picture to start with. Touching “Restore” will open up the photo that you had open the last time you used the app.

Once you decide on the photo that you’d like to edit you’re taken to the main editing screen. There is a toolbar both above and below the photo that you have chosen. At the top of the screen there are four buttons. These buttons will allow you to edit the photo’s colors, brightness, highlights and shadows. Basically any minor adjustments that have to do with color, brightness, sharpness or contrast are done using these buttons.

One thing I will say about this app is that if you are not at least somewhat familiar with photo editing you may want to read a little bit about what terms such as “Histogram,” “Saturation and Sepia,” and “Gamma” mean. You will still be able to edit photos without this knowledge, but the true power of this app is harnessed when you understand some photography basics!

The bar at the bottom contains some basic editing tools and filters. Touching the little scissors icon will allow you to crop the image. Touching the button just to the right of that will bring up several buttons that can be used for rotating your image and/or resizing it. Just to the right of these buttons you’ll find an “Undo” and “Redo” button. I was fairly impressed with how well these buttons worked, there was very little delay and they didn’t seem to cause any memory leak problems either.

In the lower right corner of the screen is a button that looks like a piece of paper with writing on it. Touching it will allow you to save your picture, open up a new one, or view a list of textures that you can apply to your current photo. There are kinds of neat effects here from a “Vintage Canvas” effect down to “Sandstone” and “Patchwork.”

The Fx button in the lower left corner of the screen has a variety of different effects that you can choose from for your photo. There are some basic ones like “Polarizer,” “Vintage,” and “Vignette,” as well as some more unusual ones under the “Misc Fx” button. Here you’ll find filters such as “Crayons,” “Comic Scene,” “Blueprint,” and “Sketch.”

In summary, while this app has a bit of a learning curve, if you take the time to figure out how it works it is much more powerful than most of the “free” photo utilities around. If you’re a photo junkie, and you’re constantly snapping shots on your iPhone then you should grab this app up for $0.99 today. It’s a purchase that you won’t regret!

My Face (Free)

Version – 1.1

Review – “Let My Face help you see your contacts!”

Cell phones have come a long way since their original introduction into the marketplace. We’ve gone from simple monochrome displays to high resolution smart phones with all kinds of free games and utilities! One thing that has stayed to same for quite a while is that it is a pain to try and add pictures to all of your contacts. Paragon Services is looking to change all of that with their new free “My Face” utility!

While there have been other apps that have offered ways to get photos for your contact list, for the most part they are all tied to a particular social interface. My Face instead uses only your phone number and name to deliver photos to you and your friends!

When you open up the app the first thing you’ll want to do is fill in the information on the “Settings” screen. You’ll need to enter some basic information that includes your phone number and initials. Once you’ve got that you can select a photo by touching the “Choose My Picture” button and getting a photo either from your iPhone’s camera or from your photo album.

Once you’re ready to upload your photo just touch the “Upload My Picture” button from the main menu. The first time you do this you’ll see a prompt telling you that you’re going to receive a text message with a link in it. All you have to do is click on the link in the text message that you receive and your photo will be uploaded and linked to your phone number! While this may seem a little annoying, it is for security reasons and it only has to be done the first time you upload a photo.

Well now that you’ve got your photo into the system it’s time to download all your friends photos! All you have to do is touch the “Get Contact Pictures” and it will check for and download all of them that are available. A prompt will come up below the first picture downloaded that that asks if you want to Ignore or Accept it. You can also choose to just “Accept All Contact Pictures” if you don’t want to go through all of them one at a time.

The final link from the main menu is a “Tell My Friends” button. If an app like this is really going to be useful your friends are going to have to upload their pictures to it as well, and this link offers a quick and easy way to send an email to your friends asking them to download this app and upload their photos!

My initial impressions of this app are that it does what it sets out to do quickly and easily. A huge plus is that not only is the app free but there is a version of it coming to the Android OS very soon. With it being cross platform and free there is a real chance that the app could become popular enough to be useful if word continues to go around! So what are you waiting for? Be an early adopter and upload your picture to My Face today!

Trick Your Ride ($0.99)

Version – 1.0

Review – “Create the car of your dreams with this unique app!”

If you’re a car enthusiast Trick Your Ride may be right up your alley! Trick Your Ride is a photo editing app that offers you tools to change the appearance of everything from the window tint to the tire rims and accessories! You choose one of the stock photos, or take your own photo and create your dream car!

When you open this app for the first time you’ll be greeted by some background music. This is one of five different custom tracks that you can set and listen to as you create your dream machine! If one of these is not to your liking you can also use a song from your iPod music library or choose not to play a song as well. This is done from the “Music” menu on the editing screen. Unfortunately it seems that there is no way to edit the background music directly from the main menu of the app.

The main menu screen has 4 buttons. In the upper right corner of the screen is a help button. This takes you to a scrolling window that is full of information on how all of the options within the app work. It is pretty long, but it is also very descriptive and makes it easy to figure out how some of the more complicated features work.

The other three buttons allow you to take a photo with your iPhone’s camera, use a picture from your library, or use a template that is built into the app and get started! Once you select your photo you’ll see a menu bar above your photo. This bar is full of all kinds of things that you can use to “Trick Your Ride.”

The first button in the menu takes you back to the main menu. The next button will open up the aforementioned music settings screen allowing you to select the right music to fit your mood! Right next to that button is the “Background” button. This button will bring up a screen with a few template backgrounds and the option to select a background directly from your photo library! It took me a second to figure out how this one works because it doesn’t show up right away. To make the background show up you actually have to erase whatever is in the foreground in front of it. This is explained in the help feature that I mentioned earlier.

The next two buttons allow you to zoom in on the areas that you’re working on and erase things that you don’t want any longer. The zoom feature uses the iOS “pinch” zoom gesture, and the eraser has a slider that allows you to set it to a variable size. The largest size is about the size of the tip of a finger, and the smallest size is so small that I couldn’t really even see it without looking very closely.

The next four buttons are where the core of the optimization features lie. You’ll find everything from wheels that you can overlay on top of the ones in your photo, down to all kinds of accessories and the ability to overlay text on top of your image! If you need to touch up your photos with a different color can do that with a pen that has variable size, opacity and color. Once you have your photo all finished it’s time to save your work. Touching the button in the upper right corner of the screen will allow you to quickly save it to either your image gallery or directly to FaceBook!

If you enjoy fun photo apps with clip art this one definitely has a unique feel to it. If you also enjoy cars and spend many of your waking hours dreaming about your ideal car, then this is simply an app that you will not want to miss! Either way you’ll be glad to know that you can download this app today for just $0.99 from the iTunes Store. So what are you waiting for? Download your copy today!

Animals’ World HD ($3.99)

Version – 1.0

Review – “Explore the animal kingdom in HD!”

Most of us grew up with picture books of animals. As children these books help us learn about all kinds of different animals. Animals’ World is basically a picture book on your iPad, but the great thing is that it costs a fraction of what a physical book does, and it also offers a lot of other great features that you won’t find in any animal book!

When you download this app and open it you’ll see a screen with a bunch of animals on it. You can scroll through all the various animals that are available by dragging your finger across the screen. When you find an animal that you’d like to take an in depth look at just touch it and the app will zoom in on it.

When you have an animal selected there are four buttons you can press, one in each corner of the screen. In the upper right corner of the screen is a “zoom” button. Touching this will zoom in so that you can see all of the detail of the beautiful high-res images. Most of these images are large enough that you have to drag around the screen to see the entire thing.

In the lower left corner of the screen is a button with a ruler on it. Touching this button will show a silhouette of an average sized man next to the animal. This gives you an idea of the relative size of the animal.

In the lower right corner is a button with a globe on it. This button will show you a map of the globe with all of the areas where that particular animal lives highlighted. You can rotate and view other ares of the globe by touching it and dragging around. At any time if you want to go back to a previous screen, the upper left corner of the screen is a back arrow that will take you back.

The strength of this app definitely lies in the both the quality of it’s images and in the large amount of animals that is included. A couple of things I noticed on the other hand are that the globe is a little bit confusing to rotate, and it would have been nice if the app pronounced the names of the animals for small children that can’t read.

All things considered though, I could definitely see this app being a great way to expose your young child to the world of animals! While it would be nice to maybe see a few new features added, the interface is clean and simple, and there really is a lot of content.

As with a lot of “HD” apps for iPad I think it is probably a little overpriced. With that said, it is definitely cheaper than buying a physical book with animal pictures. If this app sounds interesting then what are you waiting for? Click the link below and check it out for yourself today!

Version 1.0

Do you love taking photos of your friends and adding funny captions to them? Wouldn’t you love to be able to do this on the fly and then share your funny additions with your friends and family? If so then you may enjoy FaceTag, developed by MightyExcellentPosse.

This app is quite simple but can be quite addictive. Take a photo, add a caption, and share it. Easy enough? Let’s take a peek ..

As with most apps that work with your camera feature, when you initially open the app it prompts you to either take a new photo or retrieve one from your library.

At any time, if you need to refer to the instructions, simply hit the ? at the bottom.

After making your photo selection it takes you to the screen where you can add your caption bubble and text. By clicking the icons in the bottom center of the screen it will take you to the bubble chooser screen, where you can decide the shape of your new caption.

After picking out the shape you’ll then pick out which way the leading part of the bubble points. After that it will temporarily place the bubble on your photo, after which you can drag and resize it to your liking.

Double clicking the bubble allows you to add text. Clicking the “T” icon at the bottom right gives you the option to change the font type that you are using. Once you’ve added your caption simply hit the check mark to move forward in the app.

Once you’ve finished adding the caption you now have a few options as to what to do next .. Email it, send it as a text message, share it on Facebook, or Tweet it to Twitter.

Simply enough!

If you are looking for something that is nicely presented, simple to use, and gives you chances for tweaking, then you may enjoy using FaceTag. While I wish it had the option to save your photos to your iPhone, all in all I think this is a fun app that will give people hours of laughs!

MyWorld ($1.99)
Version 1.4.1
Review – “Tag, Sync, Share and GeoTag your Albums”
App developer: TamDev Productions
Website: http://tamdev.net/

MyWorld is an App which allows you to store and share your Photos by location. Using integrated GPS location you can set an album to a particular destination and upload photos directly to your Facebook or Flickr account albums.

It sounds pretty simple, and it is, but this App is a phenomenal convenience for organizing photos from any special occasion by location. You start by opening a new Album – you can either select a location on the Map or have the App find your location directly. Within your Album you can add photos, audio or video (depending on your device) and have all of the media in one simple folder for that particular location or event.

Where this App really shines in the integration with Sharing and Social Media. Firstly, Bump is integrated into both the Map view as well as the album sharing page – so you can easily Bump your albums to another MyWorld iPhone user. Couldn’t be easier. However, if you want to simply post your pics via Facebook, Twitter or Flickr – that’s available too. You add the authorizations within each album and every time you update your album, it’ll update the social media site of your choice, or you can send specific media items individually! I tried my own with Flickr and was impressed that it uploaded quickly, creating a specific set within my photofeed for this Album.

Something else you might not expect but is a very smart inclusion is the ability to Email the media directly or also including a KML (Google Earth) File. Or, if you want to keep it simple you can copy and send the Google Maps shortcut URL created for your album, also listed on the sharing screen.

Finally you can maintain a list of the people who are either in the photos, or were with you at the time by including them directly from your iPhone Contact List or manually entering them.

The only drawback I could find while I was testing out the App is that to add the media to each album you have to add one photo at a time – which can be bothersome if you’re create the album after the event. I was trying to group together a bunch of photos I had taken about a year ago but gave up after the fifth or sixth because it was taking so long. If there is an option to import many photos into the album at once, I did not find it, and hopefully if this isn’t an feature now, it will be included soon.

This App could have many uses – not only as an organization for events and places. If you’re interested in keeping track of the location of where your photos were taken for whatever reason, you should seriously consider getting MyWorld. It’s well designed and full of sharing features that you might not find on other Photo Album Apps.

SixApp ($0.99)

Version – 1.0

Review – “Wow your friends without hitting the gym!”

While my favorite types of apps are typically useful ones, every once in a while it’s nice to download an app and just have fun with it. If you enjoy humor and playing with photos, then SixApp may be the app you’re looking for! The basic idea is that it allows you to add a layer over photos that makes it look like people have a six-pack that really don’t in reality.

The load time for this app was very good for a photo editing app. When you open it up you’re greeted by a start-up splash screen. When you’re ready to get started just touch the “Start” button in the lower right corner of the screen.

The first screen of the app allows you to select a photo by either taking a new one, using one in your photo album, or using one out of your saved images. Once you select a photo you’ll need to select the type of “abs” that you’ll be overlaying on the image. There are three different types for both male and female abs: “Just a bit,” “RIPPED!,” and “Absurd!”.

Once you select a photo and an type you’ll be taken to the “Adjust” screen. From here you can grab and stretch the “abs” to make them fit your photo. Once you get the abs placed exactly where you want them you can also turn on the “erase” feature by touching the switch in the lower right corner. This will make it so that you can erase little sections that don’t look quite right.

After trying out all the different types of abs, the easiest for me to get to look right were the “Just a bit” abs. It’s also important to note that your results will be very poor if your picture does not have adequate lighting. If the lighting is too bright then the abs will look funny, and if you don’t get enough light then you really won’t see much difference.

The last step when you’re finished is sharing the finished product with your friends! The “Save/Share” screen in SixApp offers three links that will let you share your creation through Facebook, your email, or by saving it to your photos folder on your device!

All things considered, while this app doesn’t have a whole lot of functionality, it does do what it’s designed for very well. Because of this fact, and also because of how simple it is, I think SixApp makes a very worthy “gag” app. So what are you waiting for? Check it out in the App Store today for just $0.99!

App developer: Unicorn Labs
Website: http://www.unicornlabs.com/

Its no secret that I really enjoy photo editing Apps. Some are fun, some are pretty, and some are outright wacky. This app definitely falls into the wacky category. Unicorn Shots HD is definitely an App that will appeal to those with a specific kind of sense of humor, if you like funny faces, silly mustaches and googly eyes, then you’ll really like this App.

Unicorn Shots HD is an App specifically designed for the iPad, which means the clip-art and animations included in the App are pretty high-quality. Obviously the iPad doesn’t have a camera, so you’ll have to import some either by emailing yourself or syncing with your photo library on your computer. I used DropBox to move a photo directly from my iPhone to my iPad library. From there you simply start adding the goofy effects.

There is a whole page of Eyes, to choose from, same with eye lids and mouths. The real is when you start adding the Extras. A feature that you might not expect to really give you a hoot is that any time you touch the page, the eyes will automatically stare at where ever you’ve touched. It’s kind of funny to move your finger around the page and watch the googly eyes follow you. This is especially fun if you want to make them look at a specific object.

Of course, once you’re done adding all the crazy hair or fake mustaches you can fit in, you have the option to save, email, or upload your creation to Facebook.

I think this would be a hilarious App to bring with you on vacation, I’m sure that this would give the kids a great distraction on long car rides, or even making a few funny faced photos of your friend as a ‘present’. If you’re like me, and you want to make your photos even more special, and in this case, a lot more fun, go ahead and pick up this App! There’s a free version for the iPhone if you want to try it before you buy it!

And now, drumroll please, my creation.
From this, to this.

Kinda Creepy, actually.

Hopefully yours will turn out better than mine.

AirType ($1.99)

Version – 1.0

Review – “Get people’s attention with AirType!”

Whether you’re at a concert, a party, or just taking photos somewhere, the AirType app by Peter Hartwig is a whole lot of fun! AirType is an app that allows you to swing your iDevice from side to side and display a message as you move from side to side in the air. This can can be used to allow people to read your message from a distance, or to take photos with an extremely cool effect in them!

While there are a few other apps that have a similar function to AirType, I must say that this app has one of the most straightforward interfaces that I’ve seen in an app like it! When you open up AirType the first thing you’ll see is the setup screen. Once you get everything set like you want it all you have to do is touch the “AirType IT!” button in the upper right corner and start swinging your device from side to side.

Setting up this app how you want it is easy. You have a text box in the upper left corner of the screen to put the text that you want to scroll on the screen. Below that there are three different slider bars that control how smoothly the text scrolls, the color of the text, and the speed that the message will scroll.

The top slider bar, “Motion Smoothing,” makes it easier to hold still if you move it more to the left, but if it’s too close to the left then it’s almost impossible to get it to scroll through a larger amount of text. In all honesty I set it all the way to the right to get what I felt was the most useful setting.

There is one other option that you can set in the upper left area of the screen. Here you’ll find a “Use Accelerometer” toggle switch. Setting this switch on will make it so that you have to move your device from side to side to get the to scroll. Setting it off will make the text scroll across your screen automatically without you moving. It also puts more than one character on the screen at a time as it scrolls which makes it easier to read.

At the bottom of the settings screen the developer has a message telling you that it recommends adjusting the brightness of your phone and turning off Automatic Dimming. By doing this you will ensure that the text is bright enough to be able to blur like in the pictures you see in this review, which will also make it much easier to read!

While the interface is extremely simple, there are a couple of features that I would really like to see the developers consider adding to this app. The first would be the ability to use multiple colors on the same message. Another thing that would be nice is to have the ability to change the font and font size of what is being displayed. While I did not have any trouble reading the messages scrolled with this app, it would still be nice to have more control over how it displays.

All things considered, this app is probably one of the most functional apps of its type! This is a direct result of the developers focusing on simplicity, and on the utility of it’s settings screen. With that said $1.99 does seem a little bit expensive (at least according according to App Store standards) for an app that has pretty limited functionality. With that said, if photography and the other potential uses for this app are something that you are interested in, I could definitely see this app being worth it! So if you’re still reading this, then what are you waiting for? Don’t waste another minute. Instead head to App Store and check out AirType today!

App developer: Touch Apps
Website: http://bit.ly/framewiz

There are no lack of Frame and Photography Apps on the iTunes Store and over the course of the last few weeks I’ve realized that I’m really interested in finding as many to try as possible. This is a personal endeavor, but luckily every now and again one comes along that’s worth reviewing. Frame Wiz is just such an App.

I have found that a lot of the Frame or Photography Apps out there are of surprisingly low quality. As I am not an App developer I suspect that maybe the market is full of these types of Apps because they may be simple to write, and unfortunately I think that a lot of the time there isn’t thought put into the actual contents or usability of the App, so what you end up with is a crummy product. Luckily this App stands out as something I think at least a little bit of work went into, and care was obviously given to making sure that the quality shows through.

First, lets start with how to use the App. You can either choose a photo or take a picture and start editing it right away. The photo itself is entirely rotatable/scalable to fit the frame exactly. One of the most important features of this App, and I may say this several times, is that there are lots of frames to choose from. They have 12 Categories to choose from, ranging from Classic, to Seasons, Holidays, Music and even “Emo” (which I found to be cute).

I was impressed not only with the quantity but also the quality of the frames, and most assuredly part of the reason I like this one so much is because it’s really super-easy to use, while also providing pretty detailed editing. Even really novice people will be able to edit their photos nicely into these frames, they won’t look like you simply added a border.

Once you’ve selected your photo and positioned it into your frame you have a couple of options to edit the photo, or add a text field, as you can see from the screenshots below:

Then, you save your photo. Before you can share it you must save it. Unfortunately one of the few drawbacks of this App is that it saves into a local in-App gallery, and won’t show up immediately on your Camera Roll – in order to export you do have to go into the Saved Photos section of the App and export. The Saved Photos section keeps your photos categorized by which Genre of Frame you used – some people will find this bothersome. Within this gallery though, you can share via Email, Facebook & TwitPic.

I honestly think that at this price it’s well worth the money. It’s really fantastic to find a quality App in a sea of limited options, and luckily this wont break the bank at only $1.99!

And for those of you wondering, yes, that’s me in the photos. No Stock photography here!

Everlater – A Travel Journal You Can Share

Version – 2.1

USER REVIEW

I love to travel. I’ve lived overseas and traveled through 21
countries so far, with more planned in the near future. One thing I’ve
never been inspired to do however, is keep a journal of my travels.
Carrying a blank book means added weight, and in order to share its
contents I would have to wait until I returned home. I tried using a
laptop and even my mobile phone, but uploading photos to Flickr,
describing snippets of my trip on a blog, and using maps via Google
Maps turned out to be a time consuming piecemeal way of sharing my
adventures with family and friends.

Sites like TripIt are starting to approach what I have been looking
for though, and one recent contender in particular stands out way
ahead of the others: Everlater (an anagram for e-traveler). Everlater
is a “whole” application, making the most optimal use of both a Web
based app and an iPhone based companion app.

It’s “whole” in another important way, too: you can plan your trip -
even making use of details from similar trips others before you have
taken – and share your plans with friends and family. Then when you’re
traveling you can capture your experiences on Everlater, and your
friends and family can see them. Pictures, commentary, maps, videos -
all available in one place! And there’s more. Everlater connects to
Facebook, Twitter and email to make sharing and notifications simple.

Last summer, I spent a month in Australia and journaled my travels for
the first time – using Everlater! It was easy and took very little
time away from the activities in which I was engaged. The best feature
was that in places where 3G and wifi weren’t available (I was in far
north Queensland, near Cape Tribulation – you’re lucky to find a
landline there!), I still could use my iPhone to log details offline
for synchronization and uploading later, when wifi was available. This
alone saved loads of money on roaming fees!

As you log your activities, you can add details about specific
restaurants, sights, lodging, travel tips, transportation and more.
All these can be viewed by other travelers, enhancing their plans and
helping to inform the Everlater community.

Everlater is a nascent but solid solution to mobile travel journaling,
and your friends and family will love the fact that they can
vicariously join you on your journey. This summer I’m off to South
Africa – I hope all of you will follow my adventures on Everlater. And
even better – let me follow YOUR adventures! You can find me at

Jigsaw Live ($0.99)

Version – 1.1

Review – “The never ending puzzle app comes to your iPhone!”

I’ve seen a lot of creative strategy games on the iPhone platform. What separates this one from a lot of its competition is that it has a very unique concept. Jigsaw Live allows you to literally put together a puzzle that has its “picture” being updated live by using your iPhone’s Camera! Before I get too far into this review, it’s important to know that this app will only work with the iPhone 3GS due to performance limitations!

The load time for this game is pretty good, and the menu’s are extremely simple. In just a few quick seconds you can easily get a new game started. There are several options from the menu to adjust the difficulty. You can play on anything from a “2×2″ grid, all the way up to a “10×10″ grid of squares! This game can easily challenge someone that loves spending time putting together puzzles, and at the same time be adjusted so that even small children can play!

Once you select a difficulty level and a “shape” for your pieces you’re ready to get started so just touch the “Play” button. The main game play screen starts out with the pieces put together in the middle. To get started just shake your iPhone and all of the pieces will be scattered out. Putting them together is as simple as touching and dragging them around the screen. When you find pieces that fit together they will “snap” and stay together until you finish the puzzle that you’re working on!

At the bottom of the screen is a simple menu with a few options. You can choose to get a “Hint” if you’re totally stumped. What this does is highlight two squares that go together somehow. It doesn’t tell you how they go together, but it’s not all that hard to figure it out usually!

Probably the coolest option in the menu at the bottom is the “freeze” option. While it is definitely cool to work on a “live” puzzle, the freeze feature allows you to find something you’d like to use as a puzzle and set it as the puzzle background! It’s this feature that truly makes this game endless, because you can literally create new puzzles out of anything in just a few seconds!

I could ramble on about this app, but the fact is that it is really just short and sweet! Again, if you’re looking at this app it will only work on the iPhone 3GS, so make sure you keep that in mind! If you love puzzles, I think that you’ll find this game very hard to pass up, and best of all it’s only $0.99. So what are you waiting for? Check it out in the App Store today!

LoKast (Free)

Version – 1.1

Review – “File Sharing on your iDevice!”

I’ve seen a variety of different filesharing services in the past, but this is the first legal one that I can remember seeing on a mobile device. LoKast is an app that is designed to allow you to stream music, view photos, and even video from people around you! The various files are streamed directly over the internet from their devices to yours!

When you open up LoKast for the first time you’ll be asked for your email address. This is a common thing with most filesharing services. You can choose to give them your email address or not, it’s completely up to you. It’s not that big of a deal though. They haven’t used the email I used to send any kind of spam or anything. It’s only used to identify you as a user, at least to my knowledge.

Once you enter your email you’ll be taken to a screen that is full of a variety of different tutorials to help you learn and optimize the settings for this app. If you’re familiar with sharing services, there’s nothing all that complicated. In fact the interface of this app is very simple compared to most desktop sharing software.

Now you’re ready to start sharing! You’ll notice that there are 5 little icons on the main screen. These different icons allow you to access pages for sharing music, pictures, video, contacts and website addresses. To share something all you have to do is open up the tab for it and touch the “+” button below. You’ll be given a variety of options for sharing the particular item that you chose. For example, with pictures you’ll be given the option to share from your photo library or take a new photo.

Sharing things is extremely easy. All you have to do is touch a person that you want to share from. Once you select a person from the list at the top you can then browse their available files using the same icons that you share files with. Opening one up is as easy as touching it.

The streaming music is excellent in quality over 3G, unfortunately there is no optimized stream for an Edge connection so you really can’t play music over Edge. With that said, even the video loaded quickly and was smooth over 3G! With all things considered I think I would much rather have smooth performance all around than support for Edge. If all you have where you live is Edge though, it could get old having to always look for a WiFi connection to use anything!

This app adds even more social depth to itself by integrating with Facebook and Twitter, and including seamless chat features! All of that said, an app like this is only going to be as strong as the base of users that it attracts, but I can definitely see the potential here. Even if you just like music you should download this app to check out the 50 free songs that are always available because they have been sponsored for this app! Whether you’re just curious, or want to check out some music for free, this app is a great download. So check it out in the App Store today!
