FotoCookie - App Review



It's that time of year when little children 'help' in the kitchen making cookies... especially cutting them out into festive shapes.

This App enables you to personalise and share photos... nothing to do with cutting out cookies really.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
You can start off with choosing the photo layout from 3:2; 4:3, or 1:1.

Now either take a photograph, or pick one from your albums.

Touch the photograph to access the effects:

Mirror vertical (be careful if you have text!)
Mirror horizontal
...but even better is the ability to scale and rotate the picture, simply by using two fingers.

Once you are happy with the result hit the toaster icon (you can't miss it).

You can now add text, as well as cookie shapes.

Your done with baking... just send the final product in a large variety of ways.

Cost
The App is absolutely free.

Indispensability
It is a very easy way to annotate and share photos.

Dependability
I couldn't get the layers to work, so that any shape was always 'in front' of the photograph, although there is an option to choose the order of layers.

Security
Your masterpiece can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, Tumblr, as well as e-mailing and others. This is the usual double-edged sword.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Seasonal fun.
