Ah, Christmas, the time of the year when, let’s face it, no matter if you were nice or naughty, you’ll still get a ton of presents. We’ve turned into a consumerist society that’s well past beyond its point of salvation, but that’s a discussion for another time. Several things are important during the Holidays, but perhaps none as important as the memories you’ll have after all is said and done. Pictures, videos, postcards, every event gets a place in the memory warehouse, as Stephen King put it in Dreamcatcher. But now you can make these memories become so much more with Animoto’s free iPhone app, by turning all your pictures, videos and nice thoughts into incredible video masterpieces in just a few easy steps.

The first is obviously to download the free app from the AppStore. You can then give artistic value to your memories and share [...]

You use slideshows when you have an important meeting and you want everybody to actually see what you are talking about. Or when you want to share with our friends the pictures you took during your most recent trip. Or just when you can’t really find the words to say what you mean, so you’d rather use images than words to express yourself. Although we’ve reviewed similar apps in the past here on Appbite and the AppStore is full of them, I’ve yet to see one I was comfortable with and that did the job right. And now, I did. Slideshow+ lets you create and share your slideshows anywhere, anytime, with a single download from the AppStore.

Slideshow+ is the easiest way to create as many slideshows as you like, directly from your iPhone. Just choose the pictures that you want to use, a song that you would like to play in the background, and [...]

Or are you a piano teacher who is looking for new ways to make your students improve their piano playing skills? Ta-da, Note Goal Pro to the rescue!

If you’re a beginner, there’s no need to worry, because [...]

You know Christmas is coming when all the shops are filled with Christmas decorations, Santa Claus commercials are playing on TV, and it’s finally snowing. You can already imagine the beautiful pictures you’re going to take outside, playing in the snow. But even if it isn’t snowing outside yet, you shouldn’t be bummed. You can still have your snowy pictures with just one download from the AppStore. Get White Christmas and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

White Christmas is the app that gives your photos a Christmasy look, whenever and where ever you take them. Just choose from a bunch of Christmas decorations, let the snow flakes fall, and take your picture.

How many times did you want to show somebody a picture, and just couldn’t remember where you put it? Having so many pictures that we want to share makes us create tons of profiles on social networks, so that we can share our visual memories with all our friends, regardless of whether they have a Facebook account, Picasa or Flickr. But what if you could gather all your pictures in one place, without them taking up any memory on your mobile device? Check out Photo SlideStream in the AppStore and find out how this is possible.

Photo SlideStream is the app that lets you pull in all the pictures from your iOS device and all of your social networks like Facebook, Picasa or TwitPic. All you have to do is grant access to the app to access these accounts by logging on straight from the Settings Menu of the app, and all your pictures will pop [...]

So you’re looking for an easy way to make fun of a friend’s photo? Perhaps you want to add a funny nose, make him wear disco glasses and give him some scars. Or perhaps you want to see how you would look like with a beard and a tattoo. How about wearing a pilot hat and glasses? Look no further. Face Bender can do all this and much much more!

Face Bender offers two ways to manipulate a picture. You can either use their wax factory to turn your photo into wax and distort it to your heart’s desires. Or you can apply different effects to it. The developers called these stickers, and that’s a good way to look at them. Stickers are essentially bits and pieces that can easily make up a face, be it a man or a woman.

Face Bender has a wide variety of stickers that come categorized for you. With just a few touches you can add another nose, replace [...]

Taking pictures is no longer just a means of creating visual memories. We like to share them on social networks and get as many likes as we can from the people who see them. But with so many pictures being posted daily, how can you make your picture stand out in the crowd? The answer may lie with the new PhotoPieces app from the AppStore.

PhotoPieces helps you take fun pictures using templates. You don’t remember how long it has been since you last posted a picture on your profile, because all you did in the past months was work, work and work some more? Take a minute off, look around your office and snap a couple of pictures.

PhotoPieces will present you in turn with shapes based on the template you choose. For each shape, just point and shoot. The app takes care of the cropping, and after a couple of more snaps, you’re presented with [...]
