Daily App: Watch Over Me protects you from harm even when you can't help yourself
Watch Over Me is a safety app with an interesting story -- it was born out of a real-life abduction situation that left app co-founder Xin-Ci Chin uninjured, but badly shaken up. After her ordeal, she realized the futility of "panic button" apps that require you to open and press an alert button the middle of an attack. She became involved with Watch Over Me to provide people, in particular women, with a better alternative. Watch Over Me sets itself apart with its automated tracking that allows you initiate tracking when your safety is a concern. You can select an activity like "jogging" and set an estimated duration for the activity. The app will then track you until you check-in safely. If you fail to check-in on time, the app will then send out alerts to emergency contacts with information to help them locate you. The app also offers a "shake to alarm" feature that activates emergency alerts and turns on the camera to record what is happening to you. Watch Over Me also offers protection before you are in a crisis using crowd-sourced crime data (available in New York City, London, Leeds, Melbourne, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur & Bangkok). The app will alert you when you are entering a high crime area so you can be more aware of your surroundings. It also allows you to report any crime you witness, allowing you to warn others about a possible threatening situation. Watch Over Me is available for free in the iOS App Store. The basic features are free and include up to 20-minutes of tracking, one emergency contact, Email & Facebook emergency messages only and no video recording. You can expand the available alert methods, the number of emergency contacts and add video with a monthly subscription of US$3.99.
Daily App: Vango brings an art gallery to your iPhone and iPad
If you are looking for original artwork created by artists and not some off the shelf prints, then you should check out Vango, formerly ARTtwo50. The iPhone and iPad app allows you to browse and purchase artwork from independent artists who post their work for sale on the art network. Vango is more than just a database of paintings, its offers personalizations that are tailor-made to your tastes. The app has a recommendation engine that learns from the art that you favorite. The more paintings you like, the better the app will become at selecting pieces to match your taste. The recommendation engine also takes into account the colors of the room you are looking to decorate, eliminating outlying art work that may be beautiful, but just doesn't suit your current needs. Vango also offers a visualization feature that'll take a piece of art you are viewing and allow you to use your camera to virtually picture how it would look in your home or office. It's a very useful feature for getting a rough approximation of how the piece will match your decor. If you enjoy supporting local artists, Vango also has a localization feature that grabs your location information and shows you artwork from nearby artists. You can use this feature to find artists in your hometown as well as find local talent when you traveling away from home. For artists, Vango allows you to list your artwork starting at $100 and $250 price points, with higher amounts available as you begin to sell your work and build a satisfied customer base. A "following" feature allows your customers to follow you and receive notifications when you upload new pieces of art, sell your work, or move up to a new price level. Vango is available for free from the iOS App Store. The latest version of the app adds support for the iPhone, making it a universal app that supports both the iPhone and iPad. It requires iOS 7.
Daily iPhone App: Give A Smile helps you spread some cheer
Give a Smile from Nobilebits is a charming little app with a noble intention -- to spread love and happiness by sharing as many smiles as possible. The app is not an emoji library, rather it uses the familiar smiley face that we all know and love. Give a Smile is easy to use. Just pull down on the ribbon to enter the "Smile Maker" mode and start customizing your smile. You can change the color and add personalized text with a handful of different fonts that allow you to spruce up your smile. When you are done, you can share your happiness on social networks as well as via email or messaging. The Give a Smile app is available for free from the iOS App Store. It is compatible with the iPhone and requires iOS 7. There are advertisements that stay at the bottom of the screen and go fullscreen after you send a smile.
Daily App: Duet challenges you to stay alive while you dodge walls
Duet from Kumobius takes a simple action of spinning two dots in a circle and turns it into a challenge by adding some upbeat, yet eerie electronic music along with a impending sense of failure that hangs over your every move. In Duet, you use your thumbs to control two circles that are placed on the opposite sides of a ring. The ring is there for visual purposes and serves only as a reminder of the track that the circles spin on. The circles interact with walls that fall down the screen, and your challenge is to spin the circles to avoid the walls. If you hit a wall, you die and are tossed back to the beginning of the level. The wall that you hit also is stained with the "blood" of your circle and these blood stains increase every time you fail. The game admonishes you to "keep calm and avoid everything," and that is sage advice, even if it is difficult to follow. It's only through a carefully choreographed series of movements that you will be able to survive a level. With the background music and the graceful back and forth movements of the circles, the game has a dance-like feel -- a dance that you inevitably die in, but a dance nonetheless. Duet provides a curious mix of simplistic gameplay, panic-inducing impending failure, and coordinated controls that when combined is surprisingly pleasing. Duet is available in the iOS App Store for US$2.99. It is a universal app, compatible with both the iPhone and iPad.
Leo's Fortune is the most beautiful platformer on iOS, and it's a ton of fun, too
Everyone knows how to play a platform-style game; you move in one direction and avoid the things that can kill you. In that respect, Leo's Fortune is a lot like most platformers on the App Store, but what most other games can't hold a candle to is the game's wealth of personality and jaw-dropping visuals. In Leo's Fortune you control Leo, a small fluff ball with an eastern European accent and a grudge. His gold has been stolen and the prime suspects are his own relatives. As Leo, you embark on a journey to find your treasure. Cut scenes and gameplay are punctuated by fantastic voice acting and story sequences that are so well done you'll forget you're playing an app. The controls are simple: Your left thumb controls the direction Leo moves and your right thumb prompts him to either puff up, which provides a boost upwards, or slam your body downwards. The corridors and open areas you move through are filled with hazards like spikes and huge pits, as well as physics puzzles you must solve in order to proceed. These mechanics are very easy to grasp and the game ends up feeling like a cross between Sonic The Hedgehog and LocoRoco, but the real star of the show is the stunning graphics. Everything in the world is rendered with almost absurd detail. As you breeze through the world you'll often be tempted to stop and stare, or perhaps even take a screenshot for posterity. Small touches like Leo's occasional mumbles and the faux-3D effect created as blurry objects pass close by the camera add to the atmosphere and create a world that you'll enjoy spending time in, even if you die a dozen times on the way to the exit. The game features 19 main story levels spread across a handful of chapters, along with additional bonus levels which can be unlocked based on your performance. There are no in-app purchases, bonuses, or other nonsense to worry about, so the US$4.99 price tag is well justified. The only downside of finishing the game is that you'll undoubtedly be hungry for more almost immediately.
Daily App: Tipcognito is a tip calculator masquerading as an email client
Let's face it, many people are horrible at calculating a tip. Not only is the math sometimes challenging, there also is the added pressure of trying to quickly calculate 18 percent of $17.23 while your dinner party stare you down because everyone but you is ready to pay the check. Don't sweat it the next time you go out to dinner, come prepared with Tipcognito, a handy tip calculator that is disguised as an email app. Tipcognito has the visual appearance of an iPhone app but cleverly uses the search field, navigation buttons and fake email entries to display the tip and the total amount you should pay. To use Tipcognito, just enter in the bill amount in the search field and use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the tip percentage. The tip amount and your total payment (bill + tip) will replace the date and time stamp in a normal email. Tipcognito is a wonderful app for those times when you want to calculate a tip quickly and discretely. It is available in the iOS App Store as a free app with advertisements or a paid app without ads (US$0.99). It is compatible with the iPhone and requires iOS 6 or later.
Daily App: GoodGuide helps you find green, healthy and socially responsible products
GoodGuide is your guide to all things that are good for you and good for the environment. The guide is available on the web and in a pocketable version that you can carry on your iPhone. The GoodGuide app for iOS contains ratings for over 210,000 products in a variety of categories, including food, health and beauty aids, pet food, baby care and more. Each item is rated on a scale of 1 to 10 based on its social, health and environmental impact. You can quickly view an item's overall rating as well as detailed ratings for health, safety and environment. One of the most useful features of GoodGuide is its scanner tool that allows you to scan product barcodes to find out more about the items that you are about to purchase. The app lists information about the brand that makes the product, its ingredients and alternative products that you may be interested in buying. GoodGuide's biggest drawback is that its product catalog includes only those items that are commercially available in the US. You can use the app outside the US, but the product information will be limited to those items that are available in the US. GoodGuide is available for free and is compatible with the iPhone. It requires iOS 7.
Daily App: Cinefy brings Hollywood-style FX to your iPhone or iPad at a cost
Cinefy - Special FX Studio promises to deliver over 100 Hollywood caliber special effects and animations to your iPhone. The app is easy to use, but it is crippled by in-app purchases that take the fun out of movie-making. Cinefy is very easy use, allowing you to pull a video from your camera roll, add an audio track from your iTunes library to the project and then select an overlay effect to add some action to your clip. Once these elements are combined, you can export the clip to your camera roll and share it with others via the standard social networking tools. Editing the clips within the app is minimal. You can set start and end points in a video and move the overly effect so it appears at the right point in the clip. You cannot change the details of the effect, for example a helicopter missile will land in the middle of the screen and you can change its landing point to hit an object on the side of the screen. Adding audio was hit or miss with app crashing on a few occasions when I selected an audio clip to import. Other times, the app would no import the track, which may be related to the track being stored in iCloud and not locally on my phone. Cinefy is free and works for creating quick videos with Hollywood-style effects, but there are limitations which sour the experience. Though the app promises over a hundred effects, most of them are available as an in-app purchase. Of the hundred, only 17 are free. The rest will cost you 99-cents per pack, and there are over 20 packs in the app.
Daily App: 15 Coins challenges you to collect coins while being chased by clones
Thanks in part to the success of Flappy Bird, minimal arcade games with high difficulty are all the rage right now. One new addition to this category of games is 15 Coins from Engaging Games. You guide a ship in space, collecting coins and avoiding collisions with clones of your ship. The game challenges you to collect 15 Coins before you are killed by your clones, which increase in number. It sounds easy, but it can be surprisingly difficult if you play beyond the easy mode. To make things easier, the game includes "freeze blocks" that temporarily freeze your clones, allowing you to obliterate them while they are at a stand still. Do it quickly as they will jump back to life without warning. With a reasonable amount of skill and the prudent use of freeze, you can beat 15 Coins in about 30 minutes. The app uses minimal graphics that are flat and blocky. It supports the use tilt or touch controls to control your ship, which work well in the easy levels, but are a bit jerky and not precise enough in the faster levels. 15 Coins is easy to play, a challenge to beat, but once you get the hang of it, you can finish it off in less than 30 minutes. It's fine for the casual gamer who wants something new to play, but doesn't want to play a title for the long haul as there is not a lot of depth to the game. 15 Coins is available in the iOS App store for US$1.99. It is designed for both the iPhone and iPad.
Daily App: Rormix brings indie music videos to your iPhone and iPad
Aspiring musicians have several ways to promote their music. One tool new to the scene is Rormix, which focuses not on music but on music videos. The app recently received a major overhaul making it easier to find new artists that match your taste in music. Rormix's biggest change is a new music scanning feature that combs through your iTunes music library and picks Rormix videos based on your preference in music. A tagging feature makes the music curation even better by allowing users to add tags for well-known acts to their favorite indie music video. For example, an indie acoustic performer can be tagged with David Gray, while an alternative band could be tagged with Red Hot Chili Peppers. Other new features include a new bio page for artists that allow them to share their background and musical aspirations with their fans. This makes the experience a bit more personal, allowing users to see the person(s) behind the music video. Rormix has all the common features you would expect in a music discovery tool. You can follow artists on Rormix, like a music video, and browse through a feed of fresh or trending content. About the only thing missing is a "related artists" option that pulls together artists that are similar. Rormix instead uses categories and tags to aggregate similar content, which you can use to find related artists that you may enjoy. Rormix is available for free from the iOS App Store. It's available for the iPhone and requires iOS 7. There are no ads, but it does require a login if you want to use the social features of the app. A non-login option allows you to browse through the music videos without creating an account.
Daily App: PiggyBot is a colorful allowance tracker for both parents and kids
PiggyBot is a new allowance app from BancVue that landed in the iOS App Store earlier this month. Unlike other piggy banks that track real money in your child's physical piggy bank, PiggyBot is a ledger sheet that tracks virtual money. The virtual currency of PiggyBot is wonderful for busy parents who don't always have a five dollar bill in their pocket when it comes to paying out allowance or dispensing cash for an extra chore well done. Instead of handing over a paper bill, PiggyBot allows a parent to create an account on an iPhone and add money to that virtual account as needed. The account options in PiggyBot allow each child to have an allotment of money for savings, for sharing and for spending. When parents add money to a child's account they can determine where the money will go and then child can decide how to share or spend it. When a child is ready to make a purchase, the parent will know immediately how much the child has in their bank and can deduct that amount on the fly. The app is meant to be used by parents and children, with the parents controlling the accounts and dispensing the money, and the children adding in items they want to buy and people with which they want to share their money. Each account is locked by a pin, so children can't access the parent's account and each sibling is locked to their own account. PiggyBot has a colorful interface with enough customizations that the app can be personalized for each child, but the options are not overwhelming. Each child can change the color of their virtual bank account as well as add an image, for example. There are no syncing options, so the data resides only on a single device. PiggyBot is associated with Kasasa, a national brand of free checking and savings accounts that offers rewards. The app is meant to be a utility for parents and a learning too for children to help them manage their money wisely by allowing them to spend, share and save their cash. There are no logins and the app is not tied to any checking account services. Other than the "Powered by Kasasa" logo at the bottom, there are no ads in the app. PiggyBot is available for free. It is compatible with the iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 7.
Weekend App: Doughbot brings you to donuts when you need them most
Doughbot is a clever new app with a singular purpose in mind -- to get you donuts when you need them the most. The app uses your location and displays the nearest donut shops either in a list or on a map. The app pulls its donut shop listings using data from Yelp, Yahoo and Instagram, providing you with directions as well contact information and reviews. With just a few taps, you can read what others have to say about the donut shop and view an overview map with highlighted driving directions to the store. Doughbot is only as good as its donut shop listings, which, unfortunately, were variable for me. The app worked superbly in cities, but was spotty in the rural area in which I live. I tested the app in two nearby cities, Portland and Lewiston, Maine, and had an abundance of donut shops from which to choose. In my rural hometown, though, the app did not pick up the local Dunkin Donuts or Tim Hortons, directing me instead to a location that was a few towns over. Doughbot is useful for the city dweller or traveler who wants to find donuts at a moment's notice. The app is easy to use, provides all the contact information you need to use to hunt down donuts and throws in some reviews so you can avoid clunkers that are selling stale wares. You can download Doughbot from the iOS App Store for 99 cents.
Daily App: Ready to Go misses the mark as a manager for those last minute tasks
Ready to Go from AppBit has an interesting premise -- rather than a to-do list for everything you need to do in a day, the app focuses on those routine household tasks you must do every time you are "ready to go" somewhere. It's perfect for folks like me who rush out the door and forget something every time. The app launches to the "ready to go" screen, which allows you to mark off tasks that you need to complete before you leave the house. It is blank when you begin as you need to add tasks from the default checklist. Tasks include turn off the faucet, lock the door, check the iron and so on. When you've selected your tasks, you return to the "ready to go" screen and swipe your tasks as you complete them. You also can set time-based alerts to remind you to complete your tasks. As much as I like the idea behind Ready to Go, I'm not going to keep it on my phone as it lacks one major feature -- customization. There is one checklist provided with the app, and you can't add to it or change the existing list items. This is a missed opportunity as not everyone has an iron or a teapot that needs attention before they leave. Along with a single customizable list, I would love to see support for multiple lists and maybe even a location option that alerts you when walk out the door. This might be a jump ahead, but this is a perfect application for a household iBeacon. Install it at the door and get alerts as you walk through the threshold. Ready to Go is pretty with its minimalist UI, but it is not very practical without the ability to create your own list. The task manager is available for 99-cents from the iOS App Store. It is compatible with the iPhone and requires iOS 7.0 .
Daily App: Miximal teaches children basic sounds by letting them dial in animals
Miximal is a clever learning app from Yatatoy that teaches young children about sounds and syllables. The app uses simple, but adorable animated animal graphics to represent sounds in a flip book-style approach to learning. The app includes a spinner wheel that allows kids to dial in three images as they assemble an animal and its associated word. Each graphic represents a syllable in the word that is repeated audibly when a child presses the "play" button. The app is free-form allowing kids to create wacky animals like a "Pen-No-Saur," a penguin head on a dinosaur body and legs. When kids create the real animal, a Di-No-Saur in this case, they are rewarded with a silly animation. Miximal is designed for the kindergarten-aged children and has catchy graphics that'll appeal to that age group. Graphics are simple to select and the buttons are over-sized, which makes them easy to tap. The app does a nice job of balancing interactivity with ease of use. The animations made my 4-year-old giggle, and the app had just enough easy interaction to keep him engaged for short periods of time. There are no in-app purchases, but there is one ad for Yatatoy's other app, Drawnimal. The ad is viewable only on the launch screen and is tappable, but it is locked down with a gesture that requires the user to swipe with one finger to view the content. The "About" section with social links is locked down in a similar manner. Miximal is available in the iOS App Store for $1.99. It is compatible with the iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 6.1 or later.
Daily App: PicFlow allows you to quickly combines photos and music into a stunning slideshow
Took a bunch of photos and want to make them into a slideshow instead of a static collage? Then you should check out PicFlow from Red Cactus. The slideshow maker is easy to use and doesn't require you to sign up for a service just to add some flair to your photos. PicFlow walks you through the slideshow creation process, prompting you first to add photos from your Camera Roll to the slideshow. Once the photos are imported, you can tap and drag them into their proper order. You also can pinch to crop the photos and adjust what section of the image is displayed in the resulting video. There are no other editing options, so you will need to use an image editor like Aviary to tweak the contrast and adjust the color before you import them into PicFlow. Once the photos are "just right," you can add music from your iTunes library to the slideshow. The song has to be stored on your device and not stored in iCloud for you to import it. The app then allows you to pick the part of the song you want, so you are not stuck with only the first 20-seconds of the clip. In the third and final step, you can adjust the length of the video, which is set to 15 seconds by default in order to meet the video upload requirements of Instagram. You also can record the photo transition timings by tapping, allowing you to sync your photos to the beat of the music. When you are done with the music part, you are ready to preview the clip and then share it. Tapping on the "Share" button allows you to export the clip to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or your Camera Roll as a video. If you want to fix something before you compile the clip, you can easily jump back through the steps and make changes. PicFlow includes a watermark and ships with a default cross-fade transition. If you want to use other transitions or remove the watermark, you can unlock those features via an in-app purchase. In-app purchases are reasonably priced, ranging from 99-cents to remove watermarks and going up to US$2.99 to unlock the entire app. PicFlow is available for free from the iOS App Store. It is compatible with the iPhone and requires iOS 7.
Daily App: DragonVale lets you breed Dragons and build elaborate parks
DragonVale from BackFlip Studios debuted in 2011 and has continued to improve over time. The games lets you raise a farm of dragons, with Farmville-style rules. DragonVale is all about dragons letting you hatch new dragons, breed dragons to get different breeds and acquire seasonal dragons that only are available for a short period of time. You are given two dragons at the start and new dragons do cost in-game currency, which you can earn or purchase in-app. As you hatch you more dragons, you can buy new habitats for them, expanding beyond the one island that you are granted at the beginning. DragonVale is filled with a variety items for your dragon. You can buy breeding caves to make new dragons, decorations to makes your island unique, add new islands to expand your habitat into a full-fledged park and acquire other structures like a mini coliseum to race your dragons. Like Backflip's other titles, DragonVale is very well done. The pace is perfect -- fast enough to keep your interests, but not frantic and stress-inducing. The game builds up nicely, with colorful and fun art. There's a social aspect to the game that allows you to add friends via Facebook or GameCenter and send them in-game gifts. You can even share your Dragon parks and visit other random parks to see what other DragonVale players are building. DragonVale is free in the iOS App Store. It is compatible with the iPhone and iPad. There are no ads, but the app does include in-app purchases.
Daily App: Jump and Chump your way to leaderboard stardom in Jump! Chump!
Jump! Chump! is a simple game with challenging yet addictive mechanics a la Flappy Bird. As listed in its app description, the game has three features which are Jumping, Chumping and online leaderboards. You play the game with two block characters with one seated at the top half of the screen and the other placed on the bottom half. The characters remains stationary while enemies come at them from both directions. You must jump the character on top by tapping on the top of the screen to avoid the enemies above the line, and tap the bottom of the screen to make your character chump to avoid the enemies below the line. Sometimes enemies come at the same time in both directions forcing you to jump and chump at the same time. Once you get hit by an enemy, the game is over and the time you stayed alive is recorded as your score. An online leaderboard through GameCenter keeps track of your achievements. Jump! Chump! is easy enough that you can learn how to play in 30 seconds, but challenging enough that you will keep coming back for more Jump! Chump! is available for free in the iOS App Store. The game is compatible with the iPad and iPad and requires iOS 7.0 or later. There are small ads at the top that don't interfere with game play and there are no in-app purchases.
Daily App: Word Forward mixes Scrabble-like gameplay with brain-busting strategy
Word Forward is a clever word puzzle game developed by Shane McCafferty and published by AppyNation. The app has a hint of Scrabble, but adds new twist to the word spelling game. Word Forward challenges you to clear a 5 x 5 board of letter tiles by spelling words. Each letter is worth a specific value and these amounts are combined when you spell a word. Depending on the level, you start with a specific number of points, say 500. As you spell words, their value is subtracted from these points. In this example, the game is done when you reduce the points to 200. You get extra bonus points if you clear the entire board and reach zero points. The game is more than a simple speller. There are modifiers that allow you to change your tiles on the gameboard. Modifiers include the following: SWAP any two letters on the grid by using a SWAP TOKEN, earned during gameplay. REPLACE a letter on the grid with a SPARE from your inventory to make longer words. JUMBLE the tiles on the grid to replace all the letters with new ones when all else fails. CHANGE the letter on a tile to any other letter you choose using the SWAP MODIFIER. ELIMINATE stubborn tiles with BOMBS when you can't make any more words and need to nudge your score over the line. You have a limited number of modifiers per round and can buy additional ones using the coin rewards system in the game. You earn coins for playing and can purchase more via an in-app purchase. The challenge comes in removing the letters in a way that you are not left with standalone titles that are orphaned and no longer usable. Modifiers cane be used sparingly in your strategy and may be enough to push your score below the winning mark. WordForward is a thinking man's game that is challenging, but not difficult. You can play individual rounds or play online against other GameCenter members. The app is available for free with ads that appear after each round. There are in-app purchases for coins, but you don't need to buy any coins to win the game.
Daily App: RepeaterBook is a repeater guide for amateur radio enthusiasts
Little known fact about me -- I am an amateur radio operator and have been dabbling in radio technology for about a decade now. I picked up the hobby when I lived in a rural part of Vermont with no cellular service. The only way to communicate over any distance was via ham radio using the local repeater network. Repeaters are the lifeline of the ham radio operator. They are the towers that relay messages between ham radios, accepting the weak incoming signal and then transmitting it at a higher power, so it can cover a greater distance with minimal loss in quality. Depending on the location and power of the repeater transmitter, you can talk to someone a hundred miles away. And if that repeater is connected to a network, you can extend that distance even further. One handy tool for the ham radio operator is an iPhone app, RepeaterBook from ZBM2 Software. The basic app takes the community repeater database of RepeaterBook.com and packages it into an iPhone-friendly format. You can either browse through all the repeater entries for the US and Canada or enable location services and let RepeaterBook display a list of nearby repeaters. Each entry contains detailed information on the repeater so you can key in those details into your ham radio. The app stores its data on your phone, so you don't need an active Internet connection to browse through the repeater entries. A handy filter allows you to show only those repeaters that meet your license class, radio type or preferred connections. For example, I have a basic handheld radio and set my filters to show only repeaters in the 2M and 70cm band. When you find a mistake with the repeater information, you can edit an entry and submit those details to the database administration. The database is thorough for the area in which I live, but not perfect. It lists almost all the repeaters in my vicinity, missing only one less known repeater a few miles away. The best part about RepeaterBook is not what it does, but what I don't have to do now that I have it installed on my iPhone. Thanks to the RepeaterBook app, I no longer have to carry around my paperback repeater resource, which is bulky and comparatively inconvenient to thumb through. RepeaterBook is available for free from the iOS App Store. It's compatible with the iPhone and requires iOS 5.1.
Daily App: Image Resize easily scales down your iPhone photos
Image Resize from Jason Pan is a useful iOS utility that allows you to quickly and easily resize an image captured with your iPhone's camera. I use the app to prepare images for blog posts on my family blog. Instead of relying on Wordpress to resize the images to correct dimensions, I prefer to do it myself using this tool. Resize Image has all the major features required in an image resizing tool. You can import an image from your photo library or capture one directly using the camera interface within the app. The camera is barebones with options limited to flash on/off/auto and front/rear camera. Once you have an image, you can resize it down to standard sizes measured in megapixels or percentages. You can choose which standard you want to use by default and change the default sizes to suit your needs. You also can adjust the width and the height of a photo manually with the option to maintain the aspect ratio if you want to scale the image down. There is an undo button if you need to roll back your changes. When you are done resizing, you can export the image to your camera roll, share the image on a social network, send it via email or messaging or pass it on to another app. Resize Image is available in the iOS App Store for free. It is compatible with the iPhone and requires iOS 6. The app includes ads, but they are subtle and do not interfere with the usage of the app. The ads can be removed via in-app purchase of US$1.99.
