Camera360 Ultimate spices up your Android

Upgrade your camera and experience photography in a whole new way on your Android smart phone.

Camera360 Ultimate is a free app from PinGuo. Inc, designed for anyone who loves photography, from the most amateur to the professional. With an array of features, fun effects and tons of options, you’ll totally pimp up the camera on your Android smart phone with this app.

My favourite feature of this app occurs before you’ve even begun to use it. When you download the app, it will allow you to choose to use it as a beginner or someone quite experienced when it comes to photography, which is a pleasure as it caters to both levels of photographers.

Once you access the app, you’ll see that there are tons of effects to choose from that you can use while taking a photograph including HDR, Retro, Sketch, Magic Colour, Huge Head, Ghost and Funny. One of my favourite effects is the Dreamlike function, that makes everything blurry and light, as if in a dream. Once you have taken a photograph with your chosen effect, you can also touch the screen to compare the photograph to the normal version, without the effect. This is a nice plus for the app, allowing the user to see the comparisons.

My next favourite feature when it comes to the Camera360 Ultimate is that you can choose from a huge range of scenes, which are downloaded quickly and efficiently. Place your photographed characters on billboards or magazine covers or have them featured in paintings or frames. The scenes are all beautiful and of very high quality, with the only challenge being choosing which one to use.

While taking photographs, you’ll also find the camera is of very high quality, with a zoom bar on the side of the screen that is easy to use and makes taking the photographs very easy. The manual settings also allow for your own tweaking including using a flash, altering the composition of the photograph, using Auto Focus or Screen Shot. Although it doesn’t work just yet for scene photographs, you can also use the front camera to take photographs of yourself with special effects, which is a huge plus as you avoid having to hold the phone backwards and guess where your face is in position to the camera. The photographs come out in high resolution and are gorgeous to view – you’ll spend hours playing on this app.

The organization and management of this app is also a dream, where you can arrange all of your photographs in My Photo’s, making them easy to find again. If you want to share your photographs, the share box makes it very easy with just a touch of the screen. You can also choose between a variety of social networks on which to share the photographs so that all of your friends and family can view them.

I would give this app a 4-star rating and recommend it to both photography lovers and those who like to personalize and spice up their Android smart phones. It’s easy to use, is entertaining and creates beautiful photographs.
