besnap 1.4.0.0
In order to make some really nice adjustments to selected pictures it is mandatory to have at hand a specialized utility that is properly equipped for the task at hand.
Windows Phone users have a varied choice at their disposal and among the many apps of this kind available in the Store, you can try out besnap, a simple tool that promises to give a unique look to your photographs.
Pleasant GUI, with a common layout
The utility comes with a nice appearance, where the smooth graphics are accompanied by a neat arrangement of all the functions and commands that are all available from the lower side of the screen.
Going through the various sections of the application and browsing the list of included filters is smooth, without any delays, but when it comes to applying the selected modifications onto the loaded images, there is a noticeable delay for some effects.
The preview area offered by besnap is generous, allowing you to view how the output image will look like with all the adjustments in place.
Take photos on the spot or use those already saved onto your phone
This application is ready to capture fresh snapshots using the main camera on your device and load the acquired image to the editing area at once. Just as easy is picking a picture from your photo library and change its look on the go.
For the latter option, besnap enables you to crop the image and select only a portion of it to modify and share once the processing is complete.
Quick filter selection and straightforward sharing
When it comes to giving the pictures a fresh appearance, you have at your disposal a fine selection of image filters that can be applied with one tap. The effect are of different types and some, being more complex than others, will take a longer time to be applied onto the photos.
For every filter there is a matching border attached, but you can choose to leave these margins out and keep only the clean photo with the selected effect.
As soon as you finish making the necessary modifications to the images, you will be able to save or share the pics, as the application integrates with Facebook and Twitter for this purpose. However, both saving and sharing will become available only after making the required purchase.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The decent appearance of besnap, with friendly graphics and overall design earns it some good points from the visual perspective. |
Function6
There are too few filters and the borders cannot be changed among effects while the image editing features are missing, except for the crop function. |
Security9
Fairly discreet during its run time, the app only looks inside the phone identity area for some reason. |
Battery6
The utility will take up a quite noticeable amount of power, so the battery usage reaches high values. |
Price8
The image customization features are completely free, but saving the output and sharing the pics require payment to unlock. |
Compatibility10
All those who want to try it out will have to install besnap onto a Windows Phone 7.5 or higher handset. |
