Fisheye FX 1.0.0.0
Since there are many applications that are dedicated to offering a variety of frames, filters and other similar enhancements, it's a matter of personal taste to pick the most appropriate for you.
For those who want to re-create the fisheye effect on the images captured with the built-in camera of their Windows Phone powered device, a utility like Fisheye FX could be the right choice.
Practical layout for quick access and ease of use
This simple application offers a live preview from the handset's on-board camera, so as soon as you open it, you will be able to start taking photos with the fisheye effect. The live view is very responsive, without lags or glitches of any sort.
There is a minor nuisance that you will encounter when opening the utility, more precisely you will be greeted by a prompt to rate and review the app, but the reminder can be dismissed with one tap.
Take photos with neat effects on the spot
The vignetting associated with this type of filter is very much present and the amount of image distortion is just about right, without exaggerating or lacking anything.
Since there are no complicated adjustments to be made by hand in the live view or from a settings menu, the only thing you have to do is hold the phone steady and press the "Take picture" button. The photo is acquired immediately, processed and saved automatically, so you will find it in the "Camera Roll" section of the "Photos" area.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
There is little to say about the looks of this app, as it mostly serves as a live view for the phone's camera. The fact that the interface will not adjust to portrait mode and can only be used properly in landscape mode is a bit of a letdown. |
Function8
The quality of the output pictures is very good, as the filter works flawlessly, so as long as the device is held steady, the results can be really impressive. A visible drawback is the fact that Fisheye FX cannot use the front camera and it could also do with some controls for the camera flash, while an added timer would be a great option to have. |
Security10
Using this app is as safe as it can get because it only accesses the multimedia libraries and the capture devices, leaving all the system areas with sensitive data untouched. |
Battery3
Using the app continuously will drain the battery in a very short time, as the screen and camera are always on and there is no way of pausing the live preview. |
Price9
For anyone who wants to capture photos with an awesome fisheye effect, this is the app to go for, as it is completely free, with only the nagging prompts to affect the overall experience a tiny bit. |
Compatibility8
This application is well suited for the more recent handsets, powered by Windows Phone 8 and above and with a screen resolution of at least 480 by 800 pixels. |
