Review: Old Fart Booth gives you a peek into the future

Old Fart Booth is far from the only photo modification app on the App Store, nor is it the best; but with a sleek interface and impressive effects, it can be a lot of fun to play with. Using facial matching technology and what appears to be a very sophisticated filter, Old Fart Booth presents realistic images of what you or your friends could look like in old age. The results may be a bit disturbing, but are also very entertaining.

When you open Old Fart Booth for the first time, you will need to sift through a fair number … Read more

Review: Supiki English offers fun, game-style English language training

Supiki English Conversation is a smartly-designed and expertly-crafted app that combines game-like elements with the conversational tools of the iPhone to teach English. The app works very well in many situations, but is often limited by the steep price of upgrades and the lack of control over which lessons you can use. For those that fully invest in Supiki, it offers many fun surprises that dabblers may not have the chance to experience.

When you start using Supiki, you can access a handful of lessons for free. Other lessons will unlock as you complete the initial ones, but because of … Read more

Review: WiFi Photo Transfer streamlines transferring images

WiFi Photo Transfer makes the process of moving images between iPhone and desktop as easy as a few quick clicks, streamlining a once-frustrating process. For whatever reason, moving images between an iOS device and your computer has long been an unnecessarily complicated process. For those with a Mac it was okay, but for PC-users, in iTunes, it required a third-party software or direct transfer of the images. WiFi Photo Transfer removes that extra layer of difficulty and allows you to move photos with a few, easy-to-follow steps.

WiFi Photo Transfer makes it possible to bypass transfer issues and simply access … Read more

Review: One Browser offers perfectly-tuned Web browsing on your iPhone

One Browser manages to bridge the gap between user friendly mobile browsing and the full Internet experience offered by Safari and its contemporaries. The result is an app that is immensely fun to use, customizable on an individual level, fast, and extremely responsive.

The biggest obstacle in using One Browser is that it is very different from other browsers on the iPhone. This alone may be an issue for some users, who will be used to the Safari style of browsing. For the adventurous, however, One Browser has a lot to offer. The home screen is one of its core … Read more

Review: FaceBody mashes photographed faces onto animated bodies

FaceBody is an interesting app in that it gives you two options for how to create and manage the animated bodies and heads you create in your images. The core draw of the app is that you can place your own face (or that of someone you know) on the body of a cartoon character, but this is purely optional, and the result is an interesting array of slightly awkward animated figures.

When you open the app, you can choose to take a photo of your face right away (or anyone else's). A handy onscreen guide shows you where … Read more

Review: Times Tables Game offers a colorful if limited multiplication learning tool

Times Tables Game does a good job of tapping into many of the things that make a good educational app for the iPad, but it is missing some very important components. Due to a limited trial, sometimes messy interface, and convoluted menu system, it works best when a parent directly oversees play by the child.

Times Tables Game is designed to help children learn their times tables in a colorful, easy-to-use interface. With animals, lots of bright colors, and flowers onscreen, combined with light animations, the app is pleasant to look at, though it can get busy and the directions … Read more

Review: Otaku Camera (Free) makes photos "comical"

Otaku Camera makes any photo look like a still from an awesome comic book. In addition to adding style to your photos, it gives you headlines about anime, cosplay, and more. It's certainly a must-have app for any anime fans.

Otaku Camera only gives you a handful of generic overlays to start with, but offers almost hundreds of new things to download in its shop. These feature your favorite characters and stills from manga and anime like Tiger and Bunny, and Berserk. During testing, everything in the store was free. That makes it seem unnecessary to have it all … Read more

Review: Alter the sound of your voice with Voice Changer Plus

Voice Changer Plus is not necessarily unique, but its clever interface and integration of multiple free voices and sound effects for altering or even transforming a recording are not only well done, but also incredibly fun to use. This is a very feature-rich, free app that provides all of the core functions in the lite version, and that makes it easy to use without any unnecessary menus or barriers.

Open Voice Changer Plus and you are shown a single screen where all of the functions can be accessed. The first step is to record your voice as you say something. … Read more
