Quirky App Of The Day: Lincolnize Me!

Today is Independence Day in the United States. It's the day "The Declaration of Independence" was signed. So, it's a big deal to us. We celebrate with picnics, fireworks and quality time with family that we can't wait to be free from. In keeping with the holiday, I wanted to find bit of a patriotic quirky app.
The best I could find is Lincolnize Me! No, Abe Lincoln is not one of the founding fathers. His time came a bit later. However, he was one cool president. Famous for his Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation, he's one of the presidents that school children are taught to love.
This app allows users to add his famous stovepipe hat and beard to any picture. There are also excerpts from his speeches that can be added to the photo. Once you're done adding all the best features to your photo, you can save it and send it to Facebook or send an email or MMS. However, if you just push save, it doesn't save to your library. It saves only to the app. The ability to save to the library is under the "Save & Share" option.
Enjoy having a patriotic day with with a fun, photo app. Check out Lincolnize Me! at the iTunes store for $0.99
