Speak it! Text to Speech review

 
The Speak it! Text to Speech iPhone and iPad app is like a TomTom for your text and copy from emails, news articles, and documents. The wickedly cool functionality of the Speak it! Text to Speech iOS app is accomplished with amazingly simple gesture controls. As a productivity iOS app, it has a specific function with simple, straightforward navigation.
The screen has a typical open space where you can type or paste the text you want the Speak it! Text to Speech iPhone and iPad app to transform into audio. You can copy an email with standard iPhone and iPad gesture controls, then you open the Speak if! Text to Speech iPhone and iPad app. You paste the text, select the voice, and press play. You can choose from four voices–male British, female British, male American, or female American. Additional voices are available for purchase from within the Speak it! Text to Speech iPhone and iPad app. You can save the audio files as well. They can be accessed via the file folder icon at the bottom of the screen. You can watch the spoken word, as it is highlighted on the screen. Or, you can check out other features in your iPhone while the audio continues. The audio is sharp, clear, and surprisingly conversational. The flow is nice–not necessarily as robotic as you might expect.

Chee.rs review

 
The Cheers iPhone app draws you in with its wit and charm as you give “cheers” to your favorite people, places, and things. Chee.rs is a social networking app for iPhone (with a small web presence as well) that incorporates some of the best features of Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, and Pinterest, with a new happy vibe. Unlike the Pinterest iPhone app which frequently makes me aware how my house is extremely disorganized and how much I don’t care about the multiple uses of yogurt containers and spaghetti jars, the Cheers iPhone app removes the guilt and pretension. With the Chee.rs app, you share what you love about your life in its truest form. Send a shout of encouragement to a friend interviewing for his or her dream job. Recommend your favorite neighborhood restaurant or the cool one you stumbled into on vacation. Share a book that changed your life.

Facebook Camera review

 
The just released Facebook Camera iPhone app has three functions–a photography news feed, a nice interface to upload photos to Facebook, and a streamlined in-app camera. Facebook has essentially created a client for its users.
The attractive photo feed of your Facebook friends’ photos is a welcome feature, but the gesture navigation is the exceptional aspect of the photo feed. You can scroll through your friends photos displayed with great clarity and precision. If a friend is tagged in multiple photos or shares an album, you swipe your finger across the screen and the pictures move across the screen horizontally. If you want to navigate back to the top of the screen where you access the camera and your iPhone and iPod Touch photos, you double tap at the top of the screen and you’re quickly transported. It’s an agile, time-saving feature. The comments and likes are displayed on the photo. With a touch, you can like quickly and comment quickly. The photo does not have to process and turn, so you can comment swiftly.

The Facebook Camera in-app camera is accessed with a touch on the camera at the top left of the screen. It is an extremely simple camera with basic snap shot function. After the photo is saved to the camera roll, you can apply one of fifteen filters, crop, rotate, and tag it. Although there are fifteen filters, none compare to Instagram and Hipstamatic. The interface for using these tools is straightforward and direct, but photo effect junkies and photography nerds will be extremely underwhelmed by the Facebook Camera iOS app’s limited functionality.

Everyme review

 
Facebook and Twitter can feel too open and impersonal for most people. If you want more control over what information you share and with whom you share it, then you’ll want to check out the new Everyme social networking app for iPhone. It helps you narrow and define groups to share a private conversation. It’s the perfect way to keep up with your girls night out group, your work lunch crew, and your family without requiring everyone to participate in the same social networking application. It’s also a great way of staying in touch with your friend who responds to texts, but doesn’t answer an email. All of your conversations are private, so you never have to worry about your posts, pictures, and observations ending up where you don’t want them to be.

Yoga with Janet Stone review

 
Well-known Vinyasa yoga teacher Janet Stone has released a well-produced iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad app bringing yoga and meditation videos and guidance to your iOS device. If you can’t get to her workshops or classes, then the small investment of $4.99 swiftly downloads her beautifully produced videos filled with her knowledge and Vinyasa yoga sequences.
The Yoga with Janet Stone iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad app has simple, clear functionality. You can choose between yoga sessions or meditations. The yoga sessions are grouped by flexibility, strength, and daily practice. You can also create a custom practice. The Yoga with Janet Stone iOS app features yoga practices categorized according to your level of experience. You may also incorporate music from your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad to further customize the yoga practice. The music provided has an appealing zen vibe that nicely complements the simple, light-filled set for Janet to lead you through your practice.

PreggoBooth review

Ever wonder what you will look like when you’re pregnant? The Preggo Booth iPhone app gives you a chance to check out what you’ll look like at three, six, and nine months. Pregnancy can be stressful and causes fear and uncertainty for new moms. Whether you’r expecting, planing to conceive, or just want to have some fun messing around with the idea, the PreggoBooth app for your iPhone attempts to shed some humor on this otherwise serious and tense subject matter. It can also be somewhat educational seeing yourself virtually pregnant and see how you would look throughout your child bearing trimesters.

As you would expect, the PreggoBooth app is extremely simple to use. You need to take a full length body photo. You’ll definitely need someone to shoot a photo, as it recommends you position yourself in a crime-scene outline on the screen. Your hand is on your hip, and a profile shot is required. After you shoot your photo, you adjust three areas on the screen with gesture controls. You move bubbles to cover your bust, belly, and bum.
