Fring your friends

Call your friends tfor free hrough this cross-platform video communication tool.

by CNET staff

 

Fring joins the long line of iOS apps using VoIP technology to connect you and your friends through video calls, voice calls and chat. This free app is a no-brainer to set up, and even beginners will understand how the app works without reading any Help files or watching tutorials. Despite its ease of use, we weren't impressed by the video or voice quality.
Fring's user interface is very intuitive because it's based on our everyday use of the phone. We liked the idea of having video calls with multiple friends simultaneously using Fring's Group Video call feature. Just like any other VoIP communication app, you have to have your friends on your Fring contacts list, but the app will find those friends as soon as you allow it to go through your Address Book to find those already on the network.
Although we loved the design and its intuitiveness, we can't say the app performed as we expected. Instead, we were annoyed by the video and voice quality of a Fring call. We have to note here that we used our very fast Wi-Fi connection, only to see the poor network quality message displayed. Another feature which makes Fring communication-unfriendly is that you have to be logged in all the time (similar to Skype), which makes the app a battery and data hog, while its counterparts, such as the native FaceTime or third-party Tango app, deliver the call without the need of the app constantly running in the background.
Overall, Fring is off to a great start with this easy-to-use app, but we were left feeling that more work needs to be done to smooth the rough edges. Meanwhile, you might be tempted to choose from the variety of free VoIP apps offering better sound and video quality.

PowerCam: Possibly the Best Yet

When it comes to photo editing on the iPhone, you’re really not without your options. In fact, it sometimes feels like we’ve been enduring a flood of these sorts of applications since the ye olden Instagram hit the scene. However, none of them have been nearly as good as PowerCam by developer Wondershare Software. The app provides us with just about everything that we need to accurately and effectively edit photos from our favorite mobile device—and then some. For our full review, you need only to slide on down below the break, as well.

Concept and Functionality 

Before going any further, we’d like to simply get some of the basic stuff out of the way. Yes, PowerCam comes with all of the standard photo editing frills that you’d expect. You’ll get an absolute megaload of filters to work with: With the full version, you’re staring down 120 unique items with which to spice up your images. You’ll also get various resolution settings and the power to upload your work directly to your favorite social media locations.
Now, all of this is great, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. What is different about PowerCam are the copious extras. Have you ever wanted to tilt shift your photos with a single touch of a finger? How about adding color in splashes to your media? This effect, we have to admit, is really quite bloody cool. And lastly, the app also includes a panorama function which allows you to snap pictures of the landscape, and then seamlessly combine them to form a single photo. It’s a magical experience, and combining all three with the existing filters and features, you’re staring down perhaps the most creative and powerful photo editing tool the iPhone has seen yet.

Graphics and Design 

PowerCam for iPhone

Typically this is the point at which we would tell you how the app performs well, but just doesn’t look like we might like it, too. However, with PowerCam that simply isn’t the case. The app is absolutely gorgeous, and furthermore, the menus behave flawlessly. We had a real blast sliding between filters, and the more advanced features mentioned here worked like champs, as well. All in all, PowerCam is a polished effort hiding truly impressive functionality. And in our eyes, that’s about as good as compliments get.

Overall Value 

The app itself won’t even cost you a dime, which is quite the boon for those who want to experience some of the basic features without any fiscal investment. On the other hand, unlocking the whole shebang will cost only two dollars via in-app purchase. That’s a tremendous value, and considering PowerCam offers a richness seldom seen in these kinds of apps, that value is only heightened. All in all, the title is a simple recommendation for those that need a new photo editing tool, or for those looking to acquire their first.

PowerCam requires iOS 3.2 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.
