If you love your iPhone 4's digital camera, but wish there was a more fun and interactive way to take photos with it other than Apple's built-in Camera app, then fret no more: we've got the app for you.
You Gotta See This! (iPhone 4-only, $1.99) is a recently-released app that adds a new dimension to photo-taking with an iPhone. The concept is almost difficult to grasp, so if my description doesn't to the app justice, be sure to check out the developer's tutorial video at the bottom of this article.
The basic idea behind You Gotta See This! (which I'll be referring to as See This! from now on), lies within continuous photo shooting - similar to the bursts of shots D-SLR cameras take. Users launch See This! on their iPhones, hit the record button, and hold their handset as if they are taking a video.
Once you feel your iPhone's lens has seen enough, hit stop and then view the images captured. What you're left with is something similar to "panography" - a series of continuously shot images that appear almost like video frames.
Users are then able to pick one of many "themes" within which to display their captured images. Six themes come with the app, including "Polaroid Stone" and "Wall of Tiles."
Once you've created your collage-like image, you then have the option of sharing the finished product through Facebook, Twitter, or email - effectively showing the whole world what they've "gotta see."
Does that make sense? If you're feeling a little hazy, check out this tutorial video - hopefully it should make things a little clearer for you.
The app really adds a new, fun dimension to the sometimes-boring art of photo-taking. It utilizes the iPhone 4's gyroscope and is able to tell which way you're taking the picture, and additionally will alert users if they're moving the phone too fast through the air.
However, on a personal level I don't really thing I'll be using You Gotta See This! very much at all. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't really see anything wrong with the bog-standard, 5MP digital photos Apple's Camera app takes. But that's just me.
So, if you You Gotta See This! might be an app you fancy downloading, be sure to check it out in the App Store - and let us know in the comments box below! Thanks to iPad Weekly for spotting this.
