Jazz Up Your Facebook With TextPics For Facebook - And You Can Win A Copy!

In case you are interested in TextPics but not Facebook, you can read our review of the original TextPics app here. Most of the designs in the original app don’t work on Facebook because of how Facebook displays your input. Basically, TextPics for Facebook is almost the same app, except that each design has been carefully reworked to fit the Facebook format, font, and spacing. There is not 100% overlap, but most of the designs from the original have been brought over. And, just like the original, you can also download a free, lite version of the app to get a nice sampling of the designs available in the full version. You can also access the designs for free on your computer as a Facebook app.

TextPics for Facebook has over 800 designs that you can post on your Facebook wall, post to a friend’s wall, or copy to your clipboard for use elsewhere. Personally, I have a little flower from the original app in my iPhone and iPad email signature. Though you can’t use most of the original app’s designs on Facebook, you can use all of the designs in this app for texting. More designs are being added all the time. You can create your own art within the app, and, if you choose to contribute it, your design might even be included in the next update!

The wide variety of ASCII art designs includes such categories as: Animals, Borders, Bunnies, Celebration, Food, Halloween, Music, People, Romance, Sports, Vehicles, Weapons, and more. You also get Emotes (a huge selection of emoticons, way beyond smile, frown, and wink) and Japanese Emotes, which are a bit more elaborate.

Not satisfied with an ordinary Facebook status? Also included in TextPics for Facebook is “Crazy Text”. Turn your words upside down, reverse them, or enclose them in bubbles. Or choose from such styles as: Slash, Greek, Russian, Weird, Asian, Medieval, Dots, Tails, Accents, 1337, Line, Thailand, Symbols, Wacky, and more. Please note this is not a translation app -- the other “languages” listed above are really just stylized versions of what you write, not literally translating your words into any other languages.

If this all seems like silly fluff to you, well, frankly, I’m surprised you’ve read so far into this article. ;^) But if you enjoy adding a bit of fun to your Facebook wall, you’ll definitely want to check out TextPics for Facebook (or at least the lite version) for your iPhone or iPod Touch. You’ll need to have the Facebook app installed already, of course. If you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch, then check out the TextPics for Facebook app for your computer.
