Harlem Shake Creator Lite 1.0.8.4 Review

Want to get in on the latest YouTube fad but don't have advanced editing skills? This fun app can help you create a Harlem Shake video in just a few minutes. Harlem Shake Creator Lite works surprisingly well compared to similar apps you'll find in the Play store. It's riddled with ads, though.

The app asks you to opt-in to an ad service that hits your phone with browser and status bar ads. You can opt out and still have the app's full functionality, though. There are obtrusive ads in the app itself, too. If you … Read more

Harlem Shake Maker 1.4 Review

Still can't get enough of the viral Harlem Shake meme? You can try to make your own with this video-shooting app. You're far more likely to get force close after force close than an actual Harlem Shake video, though. Harlem Shake Maker performs worse than simply shooting a video with your phone's camera app.

The app makes you shoot two separate 15-second clips and then splices them together. After shooting the first clip, Harlem Shake Maker force closes more often than not. The same thing happens after you shoot the second clip, too. Then, when it comes … Read more

Harlem Shake 1.30 Review

YouTube's Harlem Shake meme has come and gone, but don't tell that to this app. Not only does Harlem Shake let you watch all of the best Harlem Shake videos on YouTube, but it also lets you make and upload your own, too. For an app that's trying to cash in on a passing trend, it's remarkably well thought-out and well-made.

Though the app focuses on the popular dance meme, it actually offers a few channels. You'll find gaming and music video lists, too. As for the actual Harlem Shake channel, it has about 400 … Read more

Harlem Shake and Moo Review

The Harlem Shake is no doubt a cultural phenomenon. What has pushed it so fast to the top of the YouTube charts is hard to tell, but if the volume of iOS apps on the App Store is any indication, it's the fad of the year. That said, not all of the apps created to capitalize on the trend are worth your time. Harlem Shake and Moo - Dance Fever is one such game.

The concept of the game is simple, if not ridiculous. You are a cow in a city filled with pits, platforms, and cowbells. Your character … Read more

Watch and create with Harlem Shake

Few dance trends have risen to the top of the online charts as fast or as inexplicably as the Harlem Shake. What makes it all the more unique is that the Harlem Shake is more than just a dance trend. It is a video trend. The song, itself, is a simple beat with almost no lyrics. The videos, however, are anything but. According to Harlem Shake - Create Your Own Shake! a video is described as a 15-second video of people going about their business while one person dances in a mask or helmet, followed by another 15-second clip of … Read more

Create your own Harlem Shake videos

My guess is the whole Harlem Shake craze is just about winding down its 15 minutes of fame.

14:51...14:52...14:53...

But wait! While there's still a shred of interest left, you've got time to make your own videos. Free Android app Harlem Shake Creator Lite and iOS app Harlem Shake Creator HD (both from the same developer) make it ridiculously easy.

In case you've been off-planet for the past month or so, a Harlem Shake vid starts out with a single person, usually masked for no particular reason, doing a little jig to … Read more

Kill productivity with Harlem Shake Roulette

If you've got a lot to do today, you might want to click away now.

On the other hand, if you're always willing to sacrifice a little productivity for a few minutes (or hours) of awesomeness, I heartily endorse the latest collision of memes, Harlem Shake Roulette.

If the phrase "Harlem Shake" means nothing to you, you have likely not been on the Internet or a college campus this month. For a crash course, simply put the phrase in YouTube and away you go. You should find an innumerable amount of 30-second clips that start with a single soul among many getting a little jiggy to the beat in a mask or helmet, and then halfway through the scene changes to, well... something else. … Read more
