iOS App of the Day: Fat Booth
Are you the token comedian out of your group of friends? If you’re nodding your head yes right now and want a new app that will guarantee some serious laughs, then the Fat Booth app for iOS has to be your next download. This app lets you transform pictures of yourself (or of your friends) into hilarious depictions of what it look like if you added on a “few” extra pounds. It’s almost impossible not to laugh after you use this app and it’s actually quite addicting making it my new favorite entertainment app.
Pros:
- Works with photos taken with your iPhone camera or from your photo library or your Facebook albums
- Choose a face among many on the same photo (iOS 5 or later)
- Auto-cropping using face detection
- Transformation process is instant with no internet connection needed
- Shake iPhone to see before and after views
- Scroll results into the app gallery
- Save results to your photo library
- Share with your friends via MMS (once saved to your library) or email, FaceBook, Twitter
Cons:
- App has limited sharing integration
- You can’t add text to create funny captions
How it works:
- Download the app
- Tap “Start” to begin
- Tap the “Camera” icon to take a picture directly from the app
- Try to line up your face or your friend’s face with the outline of the face
- After photo is taken wait a moment for app to pull up adjustments
- Drag eyes, mouth, and chin markers to add pounds to that area
- Shake your phone to start over
- Tap the red plus sign icon to add an aging effect
- To share to Twitter tap on the Twitter icon
- To share to Facebook tap on the Facebook icon
- To share via email tap on the email icon
