Likefy 1.2

It eludes me why Facebook lets people “like” their own content on the network, but if you’re the type who faves his own photos and posts, maybe you’ll also like Likefy by Manoel Franklin Costa.

Almost no UIat all

Manoel didn’t bother his head much while designing Likefy. He just made a canvas and included a list of “likes” to choose from at the bottom of the display. He was thoughtful enough to include an example of how to use the app featuring a gorgeous female model.

Likefy hardly has any design at all. However, the little UI that it has is not very well assembled and there are no instructions regarding the pinch-to-minimize feature.

More ads than function

Using Likefy is as easy as selecting a photo from the library (or taking one with the phone’s built-in camera on the spot), and slapping a Like on top of it. You can move the Like around and resize it by pinching with your fingers on it. Many of the Likes are locked behind a paywall. The in-app purchase also does away with the pesky ads. Some ads take up the whole screen and come back every time you exit and reenter the app.

When your work is done you can just hit the share button and send the image online on various services, including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and more. Unfortunately only Twitter and Email worked in our testing.
