Overview
There are all kinds of apps to change your appearance in photos, and most concentrate on one area like the various booth apps. In iMut8r there are a number of mutations at your disposal which are all perfect for Halloween time. The app adds various layers to photos you take in the app or choose from the camera roll.
Features
There are seven different themes with zombie, vampire, witch, Frankenstein, werewolf, demon, and ghoul. Each theme offers various elements to cover every part of your face with multiple choices for eyes, mouth, nose, etc. You can even mix and match themes to add some werewolf looks to some vampire effects for example.
The Good
The app is just fun and hilarious as you manipulate images of yourself and others. It's perfect for Halloween to create some really creepy looking things just with a few taps. One of the best parts is that there are so many different themes to create all kinds of creepy monsters, and not just focusing on one like a zombie booth or vampire booth.
The effects look simply amazing as they layer on the image so well and as naturally as can be by adding skin rot, scars, and hair. The effects always seem to be added in a perfect alignment to the face as long as you lined it up before adding the effects. You can alter the size while adding, but it's really nice for the effects to just fit so well without much manipulation or hassle on your part.
Each theme offers a load of different elements for each part of the face to give you a lot to go through to create that perfect look. There are just so many combinations possible in this app with each individual theme, and then you can mix and match as well. It's great sharing these images, and will get laughs to whoever you show them to.
The Bad
Every single element makes you look extremely revolting, and they're usually over the top. It would be nice to see a few elements that just add a different look rather than completely crippling your face. The app could improve with more built in sharing options like Twitter and E-Mail in addition to the included Facebook.
The Verdict
If you're looking for an image transformation app for Halloween look no further than iMut8r. The effects are so well done, and easy to add that each final image saved to your camera roll looks like it came straight out of high end special effects. There are so many different themes and elements to add offering the most variety and customization of any app of its kind.
For $0.99 iMut8r is great for Halloween, and for laughs all year around.
