Strange Camera 1.7.0.0
Windows Phone users who want to make the photos they take really original can try out a neat little app that goes by the suggestive name of Strange Camera. It provides a set of neat effects that are applied in real time, as the pictures are taken.
Transparent controls for an easy to use GUI
This utility comes with a friendly interface, where all the adjustment and controls can be easily accessed as they are conveniently placed on the sides of the preview area.
The camera live view is filling a good deal of the screen, so the buttons and controls are made transparent so as to hinder as little as possible the preview.
On the downside, the presence of some really insistent adverts may distract you from the job at hand, as the banners are continuously changing and will follow you in every section of the app.
Pick
the
effects you like on the flyStrange Camera offers you a pretty good set of filters you can apply when capturing the snapshots and the real time preview is a valuable asset, as it enables you to view the modifications come into effect almost instantly.
Unfortunately, once in a while the app will freeze the live view, while the other features seem functional, but you will need to restart the app in order to bring everything back in working order.
In order to select a filter you can tap directly on it or open the list of shapes or that of color effects to make the choice. The app allows you so have two active filters in the same time, one for image and the other for color distortions.
Quickly capture images and save them locally
With the help of this application you will be able to check out from the dedicated area all the captures you make. Thus, you just have to tap the "Gallery" button in the main menu shown in the lower side of the screen and you can have all the captured snapshots at your fingertips.
Strange Camera stores all the photos onto the mobile device, more precisely under the "Camera Roll" folder, so you can view or share them with great ease.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The looks of this app's GUI is not too appealing, as there are no enhancements and the graphics seem pretty basic, not to forget the annoying advertisements. |
Function6
There are no adjustments for the built-in effects and their number is relatively small. The occasional crashes also make Strange Camera lose points. |
Security7
A bit too inquisitive, the utility needs to access several areas of the system, some unrelated to its functionality. |
Battery1
The tremendous power consumption of this application leaves the battery completely discharged after a very short while. |
Price9
All the features of Strange Camera can be used freely, but adding more effects and removing the pesky ads requires a purchase. |
Compatibility10
Virtually any Windows Phone user can have this application installed onto their mobile device since it only requires version 7.5 of the OS. |
