Why we picked this?

PixelWakker allows you to import any photo from your library or capture a new one from within the app. You can then choose from 20 different pixel art effects. You’re able to independently adjust the frequency and intensity of each effect via sliders. Your final creations can be saved or shared via your favorite social networks.

If you enjoy abstract art, this is a fun photography app. The effects can be adjusted in so many ways.

It’s just a pixel art effects app. You won’t find any other editing tools.

Find your way in Crooked Path.

It’s for fans of one-touch runners.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Crooked Path is full of twists and turns. As your runner takes off down a path, tap to take a corner and avoid falling into the abyss. The goal is to reach the light at the end while collecting all of the white crystals. Switches, portals, and other objects will be added along the way providing even more level complexity.

If you want a challenge, Crooked Path will provide it. You’ll fall over and over and over again since some of the switches and crystals can’t be reached any other way.

The gameplay can be frustrating since you can only tap to turn in two directions.

Clone your subjects with this photography app.

It’s ideal for Instagram users that want to impress their followers.

Why we picked this?

Most cloning apps are cumbersome and yield poor results, but not Clone Camera Pro. All you have to do is take at least two quality photos, but you’re allowed to use up to six at once. Then just outline the subject in each of the photos, and Clone Camera Pro will grab the outlines and put them together into a single image. Filters can be applied to your final creation before being shared via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or email.

If one of you in each photo isn’t enough, download Clone Camera Pro today. The app even now allows you to print your photos onto canvas, wood, metal, and framed prints via Pixuru.

No matter how you look at it, the results in Clone Camera Pro are still based on how well the user is able to perform the highlighting process. If you’re not up to it, don’t even waste your time downloading Clone Camera Pro.
