11 Best Selfie Apps
CamMe, Snapchat, Perfect365 and other applications along with the stars suitable for them
This week, our imagination was sparked by the CamMe app, which allows you to take selfies remotely using the recognition of a clenched fist. TJournal decided to figure out what interesting things there are on the market of mobile applications for taking selfies, and imagined which famous people could use them.
1. CamMe
You raise your hand, clench your palm into a fist, and after three seconds the application takes a photo. In addition to simply taking a selfie from afar, CamMe offers a photo booth mode (a series of three photos at one-second intervals) and a useless FanShot mode - inserting a face into the scenery, only two of which are free.
The 60-second training video shows an example of how the app helps a girl in a fitting room take a full-length selfie instead of taking a handheld photo of herself. Be that as it may, there is usually nowhere to put your phone in fitting rooms, and if you give it to someone to hold, it’s easier to just ask them to take a photo.
CamMe is quite buggy: it does not always detect a raised hand and “crashes” after deleting two unsuccessful photos. That didn't stop it from receiving an award at Mobile World Congress for "most innovative app."
App Store: Free (iPhone and iPad)
Who will appreciate: Tina Kandelaki, who has to make looks in a variety of outfits through her reflection in the mirror.
2. Facetune
A powerful photo editor with incredible retouching capabilities for mobile platforms. There are both basic tools for removing spots on the face and evening out skin color, as well as advanced ones: changing the geometry of the face, whitening teeth, removing bags under the eyes, and deeper eye color. You can even get a new hairstyle!
The application has a set of its own photo filters, so its appearance can be changed beyond recognition. I can’t help but remember the episode from South Park with Lisa Burgers .
App Store: $2.99 (iPhone) and $3.99 (iPad).
on her Instagram Who will appreciate it: Madonna, who is not shy about posting selfies with puffy eyes . It could have been processed!
3. Pixtr
Does everything that Facetune does - retouch, even out skin tone, brighten eyes - just at the touch of a button. However, the application's rating (2.5 stars) and numerous reviews indicate that there is no “magic button” after all: users complain that Pixtr spoils their photos rather than improves them.
App Store: $2.99 (iPhone and iPad).
Who will appreciate it: Yuri Sinodov, editor-in-chief of Roem.ru, who for some reason posts his own selfies in the publication’s community.
4. Perfect365
It is reminiscent of Facetune in functionality, but is much more focused on “heavy make-up”. The main thing is that it does not need to be applied manually: Perfect365 automatically detects key points and the contour of the face, and then applies effects where needed.
The application has sets of free effects for eyes, lips and hairstyles. For $2.99 you can purchase the ability to save photos in high resolution (up to 4 megapixels).
App Store: Free (iPhone and iPad).
Google Play: Free (Android).
Who will appreciate it: Ivan Okhlobystin, who is actively fighting against sodomites .
5. FrontBack
It shoots simultaneously with both the front and rear cameras, and then stitches both photos into one shot. Convenient when people are sitting opposite each other or when you want to show how bored you are sitting in class.
There is a Dualcamera app for Android - it does the same thing as Frontback. The name of the application hints that it is not only copied from Frontback, but also tries to impersonate it. Although the application is free, users complain about the dominance of advertising.
App Store: Free (iPhone).
Google Play: Free (Android).
Who will appreciate it: actor Ashton Kutcher and Prime Minister of Belgium Elio Di Rupo .
6. Selfie Cam
The main feature of the application is the use of emotion recognition function for automatic shutter release. The creators of the application claim that it is enough to “wink or smile” for Selfie Cam to take a photo on its own, but in practice only a smile is detected.
But the application has a lot of stickers for photos (“Like?”, “So Hipsta”, “Badass”), which can find their popularity among young people.
App Store: Free (iPhone and iPad).
Who will appreciate: Pavel Durov with his Hollywood smile and Instagram , half consisting of selfies.
7. Afterlight
A powerful photo editor that can turn a plain photo into a masterpiece of art. Can adjust color saturation, contrast, sharpness, control separately the brightness of illuminated and darkened areas of a photo, correcting unsuccessful pictures.
The most convenient feature is a set of standard filters in three categories for any occasion.
App Store: $0.99 (iPhone and iPad).
Who will appreciate it: blogger Mika Ronkainen, who published a resonant photo from the roof of the Kharkov administration, which lacks the B/W effect.
8. Snapchat
An application for sending photos that can only be viewed for a few seconds (from 1 to 10), after which they are no longer viewable. You can draw on photos with a colored marker or accompany them with short text messages.
An ideal way to send a hastily taken selfie to your friends: they will be able to see it, but will not be able to save the photo to their phone. If a screenshot is taken while viewing the photo, the sender will know about it.
App Store: Free (iPhone)
Google Play: Free (Android).
Who will appreciate it: Vladimir Putin, who cares about security so much that he doesn’t even leave fingerprints on other people’s iPhones.
9. Everyday
An application for those who want to really take care of their appearance and don’t mind turning it into art. Everyday, as the name suggests, reminds the user every day to take a selfie and then allows you to turn a series of photos into a short video.
App Store: $1.99 (iPhone and iPad).
almost every day . Who will appreciate it: Zlata Nikolaeva, a journalist and PR woman who publishes her morning selfies on Instagram
10. Shots
An application and social network for actually posting selfies. You might think that Instagram successfully performs this function, and all other applications are not needed, but this is not true: judging by the number of likes in Shots, hundreds of thousands of people use it. In addition, there are personal messages there.
Perhaps the whole point is that Shots was taken up by opinion leaders such as New York Times journalist and author of a book about Twitter Nick Bilton and TechCrunch columnist Josh Constine.
App Store: Free (iPhone and iPad).
Who will appreciate it: Justin Bieber, who has an entire profile with dozens of selfies on the app.
11. Bright Camera
Portable selfie studio with a huge number of filters, effects and frames in bright colors. In addition to creating and processing photos from your phone, you can download pictures from Facebook or Instagram.
In the best traditions of the genre, the application in the Google Play store is called “Photo Odnoklassniki, Facebook”, but it has a high rating.
Google Play: Free (Android).
Who will appreciate it: we hope no one.
