Photo sharing and discovery app EyeEm gets a big makeover

August 7, 2014
If you’re looking for something other than the mindless selfies and other casual photos on Instagram, take a look at the newly updated EyeEm.
Boasting more than 10 million users, EyeEm does a great job of both photo sharing and discovery. There are more than 20 free filters to add flair to images. And an active community shares albums on a number of interesting topics (known as Missions) like street photography, fashion, architecture, and more.
You can even submit shots to the Missions and win cash prizes.
Here’s the complete list of changes:
- Complete new look: bigger, bolder images in a slick new interface - New menu for faster access to your friends and your own profile - Introducing EyeZoom: explore the details of a photo in full screen with a single tap - Introducing cover photos: Express your artistic style on your profile - Explore Missions: Submit your best photos to win prizes & get featured - Upgraded iPad browsing experience in full screen - Performance enhancementsA universal app designed for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad/iPad mini, EyeEm can be downloaded now on the App Store for free. Before version 4.2, the last major update arrived in late 2013. Version 4.1 added universal compatibility with the iPad and iPad mini and other enhancements. For other app news and reviews today, see: Yelp's iPhone app can now automatically translate reviews from different languages, Test your reflexes and matching skills with Cubical, a new puzzle game, and Peter Molyneux's new God game, Godus, lands on the App Store.
