Taking selfies is big right now. Everyone is doing it. Well I recently found an app that will allow you to customize your selfie and then order a print of it. A nice idea, especially for those photos you really want to keep and share offline.
SelfiePrint is available for both Android and iOS devices. I tried the app on both but this review will focus on the iOS version. The app is free to download and play with. If you want to order prints then there is of course a charge for that. For more specifics on that aspect of the app, I recommend you check out their website FAQ or email them for more details.
The app is very straight forwrd. When you first turn it on, it asks if you want to take a photo or use one in your gallery. After you take or select a photo, then the fun begins. Hit the edit button and choose from:
- Enhance
- Effects*
- Frames*
- Stickers*
- Focus
- Orientation
- Crop
- Adjust
- Sharpness
- Splash
- Draw
- Text
- Redeye
- Whiten
- Blur
- Blemish
- Meme
* you will need to download these and there additional options that you can purchase.
From the names of each of the items above, I am sure you can figure out what they do.
I was impressed with the number of options in the app and the majority of them can be used for free. If you love to edit and customize your photos, then you have a ball with this app. You can leave the photo as it is too but that’s no fun.
Once you are done with the photo, you can share it on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. You can save your edited photo within the app but not on your device.
If you would like to order a print of it, you can select from 7 different sizes, you can add such items as foam board mounting, lamination or a combination of the two, and you can of course select how many you want. When you are ready, you can then place an order. Now you can save your edited photo within the app only.
Overall this a nice app and one that selfie lovers should appreciate. I know my mom does not do Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc so the best way to get photos to her is to print them out. Selfieprint makes it easy to do that and the pricing seems reasonable. My one piece of advice would be to take regular photos outside the app and then edit them later when you have more time to spend on all of the customization.
