Another Fisheye app today – and ‘Mmmmm’!! The interface is not at all intuitive, I kept finding myself where I didn’t expect to be. Given that I am looking at a new app every day, you’d think I’d be finding it pretty easy now!
One can drag the image inside the fisheye effect, for different views …
There are limited options unless one parts with additional cash to buy the ‘premium’ services.
Two other re-worked images made ‘fish-eyed’ …
They work okay, but I think the InstaFisheye app is a better arrangement, even if only because it is an Instagram family member (see AppsApril#19 for more info).
‘Save your cash’ is my vote today.
Hope to see you back again! Catch ya tomorrow!

Yesterday, at the Crows game (which we won!!), I played with the iPhone 5 panorama function and the Panorama (TM) app.
Here’s the iPhone 5 effort – pretty extensive as you’ll see …
Here’s Panorama (TM) in action …
Unfortunately you’ll have to click on the icons to see the images – I can’t insert them in their wide glory.
My verdict? If you have an iPhone 5 – stick with it – despite it being a dismally wet day, it managed beautifully and provided a wider panorama shot. If you’re on an earlier iPhone or other smart phone without this function, this app is basic, but does the trick.
Catch you tomorrow?? Thanks for reading my review!
Sketch me is one of a number of drawing effect apps I own. Its a new purchase from BlueBear apps.
Photos are changed into drawings very easily, with 8 options for different effects. One you’ve selected an effect there are colouring options, an eraser and paint brushes to enhance the image.
I quite like the ‘split screen’ option – means that you can track the impact of the choices you make along the way.
Some examples starting with this image …
The range of effects look like this …
I am not sure that I am ‘sold’ on the idea of turning my photos into drawings. If it’s your thing, this app has choices and is easy to use, worth a peep!
Thanks for reading this review, hope you found it useful! Check you tomorrow!
Photocat is a funky looking new photography app.
Home screen is cute, easy to use and easy to see in bright sunlight …
The ‘edit’ button allows one to pick up previous images from the camera roll and other collections.
The ‘collage’ button allows up to 9 images from the camera roll (+) to be selected and collaged.
The FX camera has 10 filters to add to images snapped. My examples from Colebrook Park (memorial to Aboriginal children taken from their families and homes up until the late 1970s) …
A range of filters were applied and I am impressed by the quality. One can set ‘high resolution’ in the settings section – a good idea before one goes shooting.
I love Instagram and its extras – the only thing Photocat doesn’t have (all in one app, rather than 4!!) is the ability to post to Instagram. Mind you, FaceBook, Twitter and flickr can all be enabled (settings area again).
An ‘element store’ button enable the purchase of classic frames, fantast frames, collage frames, collage backgrounds and effects. With these installed one would find Photocat rivals the Instagram family!
Overall – love this one, another keeper!!
That’s it for this review, enjoy Photocat and hopefully I will see you tomorrow!
Thanks for coming over!!
DMD or Dermander is the next app under review in my AppsApril process. DMD is a panorama creating app.
The ‘Create’ button opens with a simple screen – HDR (additional $0.99) auto/off flash and a nifty yin and yang sign . Basically you hold the phone vertically and move the signs toward each other to create your panorama. Simple Start and Finish and its done! Nothing particularly novel so far …
The gallery looks nice …
With geotagging, share button and notes option. I like this!!
Even better, when one goes into the photos to view them on one’s phone, the view pans across the image and back again! Love this!!!
Just tried popping these 3 examples in as a slide show – wonder how that will work!
Summary – pretty usual in most ways other than the Ken Burns/panning display effect on one’s phone. If you don’t have an iPhone 5 with the nice panorama option built in, this may be worth considering.
That’s it for this post, trust you’ll enjoy DMD and hopefully I’ll catch you next time!
