Funny Photo Effects offers to put your face on all sorts of goofy characters. Sadly, it seems way more interested in hitting your phone or tablet with ads than helping you laugh.

Funny Photo Effects is supposed to find your face in the photo you submit and paste it on the cutout you want. However, the facial recognition sometimes takes forever to complete. More often than not, it will tell you your photo won't work and won't even bother to try to find a face. What's worse than the app's shaky performance is the infiltration of … Read more

Skyfire Web Browser 5.0 is superior in look and feel to some Android browsers but does not provide any significant features not found in the built-in browser.

Following a quick installation the first impression of Skyfire Web Browser 5.0 is very good. Users will notice the modern layout and the social media menu at the bottom of the screen. The problems arise, however, once the user truly compares it to the default browser or uses it for a long period of time. It does have all the basic features such as a bookmark list, offline browsing, and multitouch … Read more

Math 'n Me, while not a very attractive app, is loaded with practice quizzes and exercises, making it a perfect fit for children studying early math concepts.

Math 'n Me has quite a few features, all of them free and easy to use for any age user. The major issue with this app is the rudimentary, often frustrating, and sometimes slow interface. Stuttering at times, unresponsive at others, and very basic in terms of presentation, it lacks the flair of many other modern, sleek-looking apps. For this reason many people will likely overlook Math 'n Me, an app that has … Read more

The purpose of eGallery Lite is to help users create a digital, interactive gallery in which they can store and track items. The concept is smart and the tool (the iPad) is a perfect one for it, but the execution of this particular app leaves quite a bit to be desired.

To start, eGallery Lite is unnecessarily hard to use. It opens to a blank item entry and offers no clear direction on how to fill out the boxes on the screen. You must create a category, then load that category, then create an item, load that item, and finally … Read more

Many of the top followed accounts on Twitter are owned by musicians like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, and Muse.

The Twitter Music app is designed to integrate with your iPhone, existing Twitter account, and iTunes account so you can … Read more

Vine is a sensation--one driven by celebrities, startups, and bloggers around the world, and the pedigree of being created by Twitter. As one of dozens of different video recording and sharing apps on the App Store, however, what makes Vine unique and worthy of a download?

Vine's premise is very basic. Record three, short segments of video and the software will string them together in a loop. While on its face value it might seem very elementary, there are actually some incredibly creative, unique applications of the platform, and because Vine is also a social platform, allowing you to … Read more

The premise of Takes is very basic. Take a handful of photos, add them to the timeline, and create a video with a soundtrack in the background of your photos. It takes only a few minutes to create these short videos and they can be instantly shared to your Facebook or Twitter accounts. With so many photo and video sharing apps on the App Store already, how does Takes stack up?

When you first open Takes, you are given a short tutorial. With only four screens, the tutorial manages to show you every feature you'll need. Because the app … Read more
