Photo Tales 1.0.0.0
This is exactly the case with Photo Tales, a utility that will enable you to manage images, take snapshots and attach to each picture an audio recording made on the spot.
Clean and customizable GUI
The looks of this application are pretty simple and the ease of use is one of the main assets Photo Tales has over other similar tools. The content is well organized and the intuitive placement of the commands gives its an important advantage.
The graphics are neatly designed, while the customizable background and accent color used throughout the app are most welcomed. The navigation among the various sections of the utility is seamless, without any glitches, but there is a nuisance that appears in certain areas and it is represented by some animated ad banners.
Complete photo listing and folder organization
Photo Tales enables you to view all the images stored inside the app right from the "Photos" area and by selecting any of them you will be able to customize it on the spot.
If you want to create several containers and fill them with personal pics, adding more directories is an easy task. Unfortunately, the default folder cannot be renamed or deleted, but the ones you will create support both actions.
Capture or copy images on the go
With the help of this application you will be able to open the built-in camera app and immediately take one or more snapshots. In case you start the capture directly form one of the folders you created, the pictures will be automatically stored in there.
To bring inside you collection some photos that are already stored onto your phone, the procedure is very simple but extremely tedious, as you will have to pick and add one image at a time.
Add audio notes, write captions and share the pics
The main characteristic that separates Photo Tales from the other utilities is the ability to capture up to 3 minutes long sound recordings that can be played back automatically when the images is opened inside the app.
An extra feature is the possibility to write some text that will be for the picture similar to the header of a document. Distributing the images alongside a brief description can be done through SMS or email messages, as well as via social services.
