Shutterfly ? iPhone App Review
Shutterfly (Free)
REVIEW—”Desktop photo albums in your pocket!”
Shutterfly is quite the handy little application. In a few easy steps and quick seconds you can create a Shutterfly account that will open up the world of photography, as you know it. With unlimited storage space, Shutterfly allows users to make as many photo albums as they’d like and easily share them with family and friends.
Creating an online shutter account gives you a webpage that friends and family can visit and virtually thumb through your photos. And with the Shutterfly app on your iPhone or iTouch, you can easily upload your current photos to your online account.
Still, it’s important to note that internet access is a must to view your uploaded photos whether it’s from a computer or your iTouch. Otherwise, you must have an iPhone. That’s the only real criticism of Shutterfly. If you have an iTouch with no internet access you cannot freely thumb through your photos so you’ll have to have those albums properly saved in the default Photos section provided by Apple.
Shutterfly offers so much. You can display your albums as slideshows for family and friends, which would be heightened by music, which perhaps Shutterfly, Inc. will consider if they upgrade anytime soon. But with Shutterfly online you can turn your family vacations, little league games, and wild and crazy adventures into calendars, postcards, coffee mugs and other personal gifs; the list is endless.
Shutterfly really is an app worthy having if you have an iPhone. However, if you have an iTouch, I’d recommend creating an account and working strictly from your personal computer. After all, you can’t take pictures from your iTouch anyway, so it would almost be like recycling pictures to take them from your computer to iTouch and then back again.
Shutterfly’s simple and self-explanatory interface and make it an app that’s easy even for the most basic photographer. For iPhone users, Shutterfly is definitely an app worth having.

Hide My Secret ? iPhone App Review
Hide My Secret – iPhone App Review
REVIEW – “Photoshop is a better bet than this app”
When I first fired up the Hide my Secret app, I was a little confused at what the point of this app was. I read the developers notes and was intrigued at what this app could do for my photos. Upon opening the app, I was greeted with a photo of a busty cartoon character and two buttons at the top. There was a camera option on the left, which allows users to take a picture to edit, or choose from existing photos in a photo album. This app is intended to blur certain parts of photos in order “hide your secrets”, which is a great app for those who want to conceal questionable items or people from others.
When I tried to blur my own pictures, it took a couple tries to even get this feature to work. I was disappointed in this because this feature is the main goal of the app, and it definitely fell short. The settings for this app were confusing and did not give proper instructions for its users. The settings included Alpha Channel and Cell Size, none of these names actually hinted to what setting one was modifying.
This app also took a long time loading images that were taken directly from the iPhone camera. It would be nice to be able to have more options to “hide my secret” rather than just blurring images. Even when the blur feature did work (the few times it actually did), I had to wait for the app to load numerous times.
I believe that this app has a good objective in mind, but they need to add some tweaks to ensure that their app runs smoother and loads quicker. They need to add accuracy to their blurring feature in order to better serve their users and allow for better “hiding” of objects/faces.

How do you really know which one’s are worth your time and hard earned money? Trusting the standard user generated reviews in iTunes isn’t the best way to go anymore. Because the iPhone App store is so competitive, many of the reviews are heavily biased. Firstly, developers invite friends, family and business associates to write good reviews for their products. Secondly, competitors write bad reviews in an effort to steal away sales. Thirdly, people are able to give a rating without providing a description. And finally, people just plane make mistakes. Occasionally people give a one star rating when they meant to make a five star rating and don’t realize it until it’s too late! Why make purchase decisions based on information you can’t trust?
