Kaleidoscopic 1.5.0.0
Windows Phone users who are looking for a more original approach can try out Kaleidoscopic, a cool camera app that brings a whole new perspective, with intricate models that can generate astonishing photographs from even the most common things.
Friendly interface, easy to work with
The app offers a new way of acquiring images from the phone's front-facing or rear camera, benefiting from a very simple GUI that adapts perfectly to nay change in orientation, so it can be equally easy to handle in portrait as well as in landscape mode.
The preview covers almost the entire screen, with a small portion in the lower side reserved for the main menu where all the functions and commands are kept.
An annoying presence that obstructs the view quite a bit are the advertisement banners shown at the top of the screen, where they are constantly flashing and changing.
Pick the perfect pattern and snap a shot
This utility makes it possible for you to enjoy several kaleidoscopic models and capture photographs with fascinating patterns.
You will be able to switch the forms using the dedicated buttons displayed in the main menu, but you can also browse the complete list of designs that is available in the "Settings" area.
In order to take a snapshot all you have to do is tap anywhere on the screen, as Kaleidoscopic will take care of the focus adjustment and capture the image on the spot.
Built-in photo gallery
All the photos you take using this app are saved automatically inside the Camera Roll folder on the local storage, but the utility also keeps them inside its own collection.
To access the Kaleidoscopic pictures you just took, simply swipe right or press the small arrow from the live preview screen. Zooming the images is possible using the usual pinch gestures and you will have to remember that all the items in that gallery are available only for the current session.
Choosing the desired capture resolution and quality can be done from the same "Settings" area, where you have a few options for the picture size and a slider that will help you adjust the quality setting.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The simple looks of the application are less appealing, especially considering the bothersome adverts shown in the main screen. |
Function6
The utility offers some really impressive patterns for capturing amazing photos, but there are no sharing options, pattern configurations or other advanced settings. |
Security7
Kaleidoscopic is pretty curious as it needs to access a lot of system areas, some of which are not related to its functionality. |
Battery1
The extremely high power consumption will deplete the battery very quickly if the app is kept running for a couple of hours. |
Price9
All the beautiful patterns included inside this application can be put to good use freely and only the ad removal requires a purchase. |
Compatibility9
Those who are willing to take Kaleidoscopic for a spin will need a Windows Phone 8 or higher device to do so. |
