You Gotta See This! – The Epic Moment Capturer is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Every once in awhile you see something that is just so epic, it isn’t able to be contained in a single image. You could be at a concert and want to capture the stage and the crowd with one shot or you could be walking around New York and see the most massive alien spaceship that you’ve ever seen (wait, that was Independence Day). These moments need something better than a normal picture.
If you’re in this situation, You Gotta See This! is the app for you. Instead of just taking a simple panoramic shot, the app uses the iPhone 4’s gyroscope to determine the proximity of the shots to the original, creating a single large picture that can be extremely wide and tall at the same time. Because of the sensitivity of the gyro, it also lets you take pictures that are diagonal, letting you blend pictures together from any angle that you want.
Check out the tutorial video on the uses of the app, as well as some examples of what the app can do, here. Pick it up in the App Store today for “less than a tall Cappuccino at your local cafe” (reason #4 for buying the app, according to the iTunes page).

CamKewl Makes iPhone Photos More Fun is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: $.99 Score: 7/10 By Anna Papachristos
Taking pictures with your iPhone 3GS can be both fun and convenient. With your device always at hand, you can capture any of life’s sudden and wonderful moments with a single tap. However, with the limited features of the Camera app that comes standard on the iPhone 3GS, creativity is also limited. Users may only take photos in standard color, not allowing them to branch out into other color schemes or other photo manipulations. But with CamKewl by Pannag R Sanketi, users can spice up their photo library with an array of options.
Though the name may seem a bit silly and juvenile, don’t let it fool you. CamKewl combines many of the features you wish the generic camera had, packaging them together in one convenient app for the surprisingly low price of $.99. With CamKewl, users can zoom, vary the color scheme and activate the self-timer all within the app’s simple and fairly intuitive interface.
With the integrated multi-touch technology, users can navigate throughout CamKewl with various gestures. To utilize the 5x zoom, use two fingers to pinch/stretch the screen or slide up/down for a gradual adjustment. Also, a single tap will cause the picture to zoom in or out immediately. A two-finger vertical swipe will reveal the menu, which allows users to access their photo library, the various camera options, and the extensive Help menu. While each of these categories can be found using other methods as well, users will want to remember this motion in order to access the Video Camera option.
Users will also find the Shake gesture both handy and amusing as this movement allows you to easily bounce around CamKewl with minimal effort. This characteristic allows you to return to camera mode from basically every part of the app.
CamKewl offers many simple new functions to your iPhone 3GS camera, which can be found in the dock at the bottom of the screen, such as the capability to take Black-and-White and Sepia photos, as well as use a self-timer. Another thoughtful function is the Date/Time capability, which stamps your photos with the date, time and location your photo was taken. However, if CamKewl fails to pinpoint your exact location, it will not allow you to even utilize the date and time part of the feature.
Blitz, another feature found in the dock, allows you to take three color pictures in a row so you get precisely the right shot you were hoping to obtain. However, despite the fact that the shutter noise goes off three times, every attempt resulted in only one photo being taken, making this appealing feature still only an idea. Two other lovely, yet unreliable, features are the One-1 and One-Z features. One-1 takes two photographs in a row – one in color and one in black-and-white. This way, if you are unsure, you will have a copy of the picture in both formats. One-Z takes one photograph of your subject zoomed out, then another of the subject zoomed to 2x. Unfortunately, these features seem temperamental, making them enticing attributes that cannot, however, be depended upon.
The most interesting aspect is CamKewl’s accenting mode. Simply go to your photo library by shaking the device and choose a photo you’d like to use. Then, tap the ‘Accenting’ button in the bottom right corner. With this, users can use their color photos and, just by swiping their finger, turn any part of the photo black-and-white. Discover simple, quick and easy photo manipulation right there in the palm of your hand. Use the ‘Save’ button in the upper right corner to save the changes you’ve made to your creation. And, while you are accenting pictures, or merely looking through your accumulated photos, use the arrow button in the bottom right to email your photo or post it to Facebook.

CamKewl requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone 3GS or higher. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

Need A Photographic Memory? There’s An App For That… is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Having an iPhone on you is always handy when you want to snapshot something you need to remember, whether it’s a for sale sign, promotional poster or an advertisement. One of the drawbacks of this process is that once you’ve taken the photo you’ll need to fish it out of your Camera Roll where it’s taking up valuable space among your actual photos and there’s also a good chance that you’ll forget about it altogether.
QuickShot! aims to put an end to these issues by combining your iPhone’s Camera and Mail apps into one slick process. Once the app is setup you can simply launch it, take your photo and push a button to send yourself an email. The process is simple enough that it can take as little as three taps to complete.By default the image isn’t saved to your Camera Roll either so you won’t have to worry about clutter anymore. When sending the email, you can customize it as you wish and also scale the picture before you send. This strikes us as one of those apps you think you wont need until, of course, you actually do and is certainly worth a look. QuickShot! is available on the App Store for $0.99.

Become A Field Agent And Earn Money With Your iPhone is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
By now you’ve probably spent a decent amount of money on iPhone apps, so wouldn’t it be nice if you could make some of that money back?
Well the Field Agent app might be able to help you do just that, claiming to be the first app that actually pays you, the user. By signing up to become an “Agent” you fit into a very simple ecosystem: A “Client” creates a job, the “Agent” (you) completes the job, the client and agent are happy.
What does this mean in the real word? Well, a client is a company or service that has signed up at FieldAgent.net and needs information on competitors, consumers or wants to check whether its products are being correctly sold. The agent is someone who has download the Field Agent app and receives notification that a client needs a job done, carries it out and is paid a small fee for their troubles.
While it sounds very James Bond meets Foursquare, the app and its assignments are for real as far as we can tell and actually do pay. While no explicit information is given as to the purpose or beneficiaries of these “assignments”, it’s a safe bet that most of them are market research for the Fortune 50 clients who back the app.
Fortunately, the agent jobs required by the clients don’t involve horses heads in beds or extortion either. Most of the assignments involve checking prices at stores or filling out surveys and pay between $3 and $12 if completed properly and within a set time limit. Jobs often require a verifiable GPS location and a photograph in order to keep the clients happy so an iPhone 3G or 3GS is recommend.
Once an agent has made their money it can be transferred to a PayPal account within 48 hours.
Agents also develop a Rep Score that shows how good a job you’re doing for your clients. Starting with 85 points, agents gain points up to a maximum of 100 for successful, accurate jobs with higher rep leading to more frequent jobs. Of course, if you fail at your task or submit inaccurate results you lose points and aren’t at the top of the pile when the next assignment comes in.
It seems that agent jobs are somewhat scarce at the moment with a number of iTunes reviewers giving some pretty harsh feedback that has prompted a response from the company. Apparently the number of agents has increased by 500% in a week and they are waiting for the client growth to catch up. This does sound like a cleverly worded way of saying “companies aren’t quite as interested in the service as consumers who stand to make money” but apparently more jobs are coming soon.
We’re keeping a close eye on this intriguing service that has the potential to be groundbreaking but could also end up wasting a lot of people’s time.
