A camera in my pocket is one of the most powerful tools that I’ve had in my life. The first iPads were not as powerful until the camera was introduced. 23 Mobile Things #9 is focused (get the pun?) on Taking and Editing Photos.
While I’m partial to my full 35 mm Canon camera, there are many times when whipping a phone out of a pocket can capture a priceless moment. I follow Apps Gone Free daily. After games, I think camera apps are one of the most popular apps that appear in the lists. I have downloaded many to try here are there.
| Doodle Buddy:
Simple to write, add stickers, and frames. |
 |
 |
| Aviary:
Powerful editor for effects, frames, stickers, drawing, Meme and more. Strange thing: I couldn’t find a save to Camera Roll. Basically every other sharing option, though. |

| PaperCamera
Fun app to change the texture for a picture. |
 |
 |
| Line Camera
This app allows you to adjust facial and body features. You can see it in my daughter’s face. I’m not a fan of some of the descriptions- may not be school appropriate. |

| ColorManager
This app works magic on pulling just one color out of a picture. I wanted to do this with my daughter’s blue eyes six years ago, but the tech didn’t exist to do it this easily. |

| Sketch Me
Simply turn a picture into a drawing. Choose style and textured background. |

Cam Me – I would not use this app.
The advertisement was my first deterrent to using this app. The wave didn’t work. Most importantly, be aware and look at the selfie backgrounds. There are some that I would say are not school friendly.
