Camera Magic Pro 2.1.0.0
For those who want to have a couple of minutes of fun with their Windows Phone handset, a utility like Camera Magic Pro might be a possible alternative.
Clean and easy to use front-end
The application greets you with a tidy look and a layout that puts practicality at the core of its focus. The graphics are simple and well drawn, while accessing the main functions will be quite easy.
A noticeable disadvantage becomes evident when making the frame choice, as some of these will make it very difficult to see the content of the rest of the menu shown towards the bottom of the picture you are working on.
Also on the downside, when rotating the device in landscape mode while using the front-facing camera the image is shown upside down.
Capture a photo and add neat graphics on the go
With Camera Magic Pro you can take snapshots using the front or rear camera of your handset by simply tapping the screen to have the image ready for editing and saving.
There are some really fun graphics you can insert in each photo and the selected items can be moved around the image, rotated and their size increased or decreased, as you see fit.
Frame templates and quick filters
The app comes with a decent, but relatively small set of frames you can use for free and there are even fewer available for purchase, just like is the case with the stamps and effect. Nonetheless, those that are at your disposal have a smooth finish and look carefully drawn.
Adding filters is only possible for images saved onto the local storage so by picking any of the listed effects you can check out in the preview area how the new image will appear as a final product.
Once all the work is complete, the picture can be saved onto the phone or you can share it with your friends via email, SMS or social newtorks, as Camera Magic Pro supports all these options.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of this app seems fairly well designed, but there are some problems with the placement of the main functions and the way in which the frames affect the preview. |
Function6
There are very few filters and not enough frames or stamps that can be added to the captured photos, while the camera mode has some issues when using the front lenses. |
Security6
A rather nosy utility, Camera Magic Pro needs to look into the owner and phone identities, maps and location services, even if these are not connected with its functionality. |
Battery7
When used continuously for capturing, editing and sharing pics, the application takes up a substantial amount of energy, so the battery usage remains high. |
Price8
The utility is free to use, but to expand the slim set of effects, borders and stamps the users will have to pay up few bucks. |
Compatibility9
The more modern devices, that are running on Windows Phone 8 and above will accommodate this app very well. |
