This app won’t turn you into Ansel Adams, but it will help you to take some pretty good photos (compared to the normal camera app). With a bevy of features, Camera Genius really does add some semi-necessary features.

Use it for security, baby monitoring, watching a pet, or just plain show it off to friends, iCam is a must buy

This is a great idea and is really worth a look at! You can see where you are walking, what is right in front of you, as you email. It’s not perfect yet but the potential for this creative idea is immense!!

The attempt at previews in realtime is truly impressive and the filters within Chimera are diverse. The interface could use some work and giving the user a choice on resolution would give casual shooters an option to sacrifice quality for speed. Some of the current limitations stem from the hardware it must employ. Still, this is definitely an application to watch as it reaches maturity.

In a couple of the cases I was genuinely surprised how well the software worked. Text that I could barely make out was interpreted perfectly. Conversely, perfectly legible text in standard fonts was not transferred at all.

The Tiffen Company has brought their digital photography filters to the iPhone as Photo FX. Even if you use Photoshop to edit pictures on your computer, Photo FX might be just the thing for a quick tweak on-the-go.

Unless something groundbreaking comes in the way of Sudoku, I believe that Sudoku Grab will be the last Sudoku app that I download onto my iPhone. The game itself is slick, but the fact that you can take a picture and play any Sudoku puzzle in sight makes this app extremely special.

QuadCamera is one in a series of Art&Mobile’s Toy Camera applications aimed at adding fun and often beautiful effects to your iPhone pics. It takes a series of 4 or 8 photos in succession and arranges them in a grid, with optional colorations and layouts. This wonderfully simple app can turn even an amateur photographer into a pro.

When given exactly the right starting photograph, PicTricks can create funny or interesting pictures. Like any image manipulation app, though, it requires time and effort to master, and will just as often frustrate as satisfy. It’s definitely worthwhile, although you can’t expect it to magically create great photographs regardless of what the author claims.

The word Kirie speaks of traditional Japanese cut art work, where paper is folded and then cuts are made so when it is opened again, geometric patterns emerge. The app Ki-Ri-e serves the same purpose. Choose from a number of folds, styles of origami paper, as well as backgrounds and then use you finger to make cuts. Finally, open the paper to view your creation.

Palmist helps you read the lines in your hand and helps you pick up chicks (I hope)
