5 apps worth downloading this week

Featuring zooming GIFs, photos in van Gogh’s art style and a race to be king.

EACH WEEK, WE highlight five apps that are worth downloading for your smartphone and tablet. There are a lot of apps released on a daily basis, but not all of them are worth paying attention to.

This week features zooming GIFs, photos in van Gogh’s art style and a race to be king.

Pikazo
For: iOS, Android
Cost: €0.99 (iOS) €1.08 (Android)

- You have so many photo and filter apps but what about one a little more artsy?

- Pikazo changes the style of your photos so it looks like a piece of art like Picasso or Van Gogh.

- Creating one is pretty easy. Choose the photo, choose the style and let the app work its magic.

- You have to wait a little bit before you get the new photo back. The app will tell you where it is in the queue but it will take a few minutes for it to be completed (from our own experiences). Some photos you get back will look like works of art. Others, not so much.

- One of the more entertaining photo apps to experiment with. You’ll have a lot of fun testing out different kinds of images.

Pang Camera
For: Android
Cost: Free

- Pang Camera has only one thing in mind. To help you create GIFs through your camera.

- The app is easy to use. Record a short video, add in zoom effects and/or text and save it as a gif or mp4 video.

- The options allow you to zoom in gradually, in an instant or by steps (zooming in further and further every second).

 It’s very quick in processing your video and you have the option to share it through traditional means, send it as a link or post it through Facebook Messenger.

- For those who like Vine-like videos/GIFs but with a small twist.

YouTube Gaming 
For: iOS, Android
Cost: Free

- It’s been around a while on the web but YouTube’s answer to Twitch has arrived over here in Ireland.

- It’s effectively a portal for gaming on YouTube. All your favourite and popular games are covered here as well as specific channels that you can follow. It will also cover those videos that are gaming-related too like cooking, costume design, and films.

- Each game gets its own page filled with recommended videos, playthroughs, livestreams and other bits of information designed to flesh it out.

- Probably the most interesting feature is the inclusion of livestreaming your mobile games. This is only on Android, but if that isn’t your thing, you can just record the footage and then upload it later.

- For those interested in gaming, it’s a no-brainer.

YouTube Spotlight / YouTube

VideoSlam
For: iOS
Cost: Free (€3.99 for pro version)

- Maybe you take a lot of photos on your phone but many of them don’t make the final cut on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others. If so, there’s another way to get some life out of them.

- VideoSlam combines all your photos and videos together to create a quick and easy video for you to share.

- You’re asked to combine photos and videos over a set period (hours, days weeks months and years depending on how many photos you have), and let it do its work.

- Once it’s created, you can add themes, adjust the speed and set reminders to film more if you want to create a more comprehensive video. There’s also a pro mode that removes the watermark (which can be removed on its own for €2.99) and offers more themes for you to access.

- Handy for those who take a lot of photos but don’t know what to do with them.

Z VideoSlam / App Store VideoSlam / App Store / App Store

Road to be King
For: iOS, Android
Cost: Free

- There are numerous endless runners out there but you need to be something special to stand out. Thankfully, this is one of those examples.

- Road to be King has some elements of that genre but it brings with it its own unique ideas, wrapping it up in a delightful cartoon style.

- You move your character by placing your finger down and moving around, similar to Shooty Skies. Your job is to collect crystals, treasure chests, and beat or avoid enemies and obstacles.

- It quickly becomes frantic, but taking your finger off will pause it, giving you a much-needed breather

- A game that’s perfect for short bursts or longer playthroughs.

    @Ivan Connolly: Well She’s already guilty of joining an enemy of the country she deserted, that makes her a Traitor.
    If brought back to Ireland and interrogated like she should be, then she should be locked up for treachery to the State when found Guilty.
    It would be easier to just let her rot in the Sh*t hole she deserted her country for though and say good riddance.

    @David Kennedy: Names are acquired by usage. Theres no law dictating what we call a lawnmower. Official constitutional country names are rarely used. It’s perfectly acceptable to refer to the Commonwealth of Australia as Australia, nobody gets offended. Likewise Germany is acceptable for the Federal Republic of Germany. In our case the Irish government approved the use of Republic of Ireland in the Republic Of Ireland Act, although they did not proceed to amend the constitution and it is accepted in common usage e.g. for the soccer team.
    People need to grow up about this.

    @Burt CrackerJack: yeah that’s the point. Its easier to leave the responsibility with the people who have had to shoulder the burden of fighting Isis, which is what most of the rest of Europe is doing hence my applause for ireland taking responsibility. In addition you seem to imagine yourself privy to enough facts to pass sentence but lack the “responsibility” to implement said sentence and would rather cowardly prefer someone else to do it.

    Without risk of repeating myself for which I do not apologise when I have the conviction of principle I believe in, I say again, she deserted her country, it’s proven she joined ISIS who are a hostile threat to the Country of her birth so therefore she is already a Traitor so it doesn’t need to be established by bringing her back to the country they should leave her out there like the British did with Shamima Begum but if they do then they need to get every piece of security intelligence out of her for the good of the faithful citizens of the country she betrayed, then Keep her locked up for her treachery.

    Unbelievable. Tax payers Euros going to bring this b**ch back, never mind putting the defence forces in harms way. If she joined the IRA she would immediately receive a 7 year sentence. The bleeding hearts going on about Irish citizenry? She made a mockery out of her Irish citizenship and turned her back on her country when she joined that international terrorist organisation responsible for the brutal murder of Irish citizens.

I thought we had non jury Special Criminal Courts established in this country at huge expense especially to tackle people who join these organisations ? How have we moved from making sure we have systems in place to stop terrorism to deploying our defence forces to help people who choose to turn to organisations like ISIL. WTAF is the government doing in our name here ?

    @Dave Hammond: well done on completely missing my point.

    OK – if the IRA is such a big threat, then let’s round em’ up! They actually live here, amongst us, and much of their ideology has massive support here. Unlike ISIS. So I say that the IRA, therefore, represents at least as much a threat due to their proximity and the level of support they have at home.

    But no that’s not what we’re going to do – is it? The IRA doesn’t represent a threat anymore. So we don’t round them up. Similarly with ISIS. The ideology of both the IRA and ISIS represent threats (to different populations), but the actual physical threat from these organisations is now minimal, if not non-existent.

    If I’m wrong – then let’s round up the IRA!

The fight against ISIS was anti-faschist.

By mid-2016, 2,590 women and children had escaped or been smuggled out of the caliphate and 3,793 remained in captivity.”

    So let’s enumerate her crimes. Crime number one – converting to Islam? Crime number two – moving to I.S. held territories and declaring sympathy for their cause. Crime number three – she at least claims it was depression following the breakdown of her marriage which caused her to do that, and having depression in Ireland might as well be a crime. However we cannot be sure that she was, indeed, suffering like she says she was.

    Crime number 4 – being the second wife of a Muslim. Crime number 5 – giving birth to a child. Crime number 6 – her husband being killed in combat.

    Am I missing something? Did she throw a lesbian off a roof?

    @Deirdre O’Byrne: she willingly joined a Wahhabi death cult. She supported an idealogy. Where she may have not pulled any trigger or murdered or harmed anyone, the fact is, she went there in support of what they believed in. Therefore she is an accessory to the murder, crime, theft etc that the whole group commited.

    @Deirdre O’Byrne: all tour comments ate conjecture : you know nothing about what she did over there.

    She’s a trained soldier and went to support a military operation undermining sovereign states. You need to start on the assumption she actively participated in operations which involved taking of life, not the pansy approach.

    @Deirdre O’Byrne: you’re basically making up a fairy tale law in your head. You should look up what statute of limitations are, especially when it involves serious crime like murder, accessory to murder. Aiding and abetting murder. Acessory to crimanal activities. Being a member of an illegal organisation or group. The Nazi Party no longer exsists, but people are still being caught and sentenced up to this day. In future, if unsure about something, don’t proclaim to know answers about something you know nothing about.

    ISIS grew out of Shia suppression on Sunni Muslims after the illegal war in Iraq. There incredible rise was only possible because of the brutal revenge carried out by Shia on Sunni after the fall of Saddam.

    I don’t support public beheadings, the live burning of people or terror attacks on cities but the US foreign policy is at the center of the problem (as usual)

    No one bats an eye lid when 1m Sunnis were killed during that war by US & UK?
