As I did before, this article will contain one application and one game. Both pretty good and quite fun.
Pixlr-o-Matic
This is yet another camera related app that aids you in editing images by adding already existing effects that are registered in this app’s database.
Not as visually stunning as the previous camera app I have mentioned, but just as useful if you are up for a few last minute editing. It helps you out a lot if you are willing to edit an image quickly and efficiently without going into more complex features offered by programs such as PhotoShop.
Official Description :
Add retro effects to your photos in a snap!
Turn your photos into cool looking vintage images – editing is as easy as one, two, three.
With this fun and simple darkroom app, you can layer filters, lighting and borders to get that retro grunge look in three simple steps. So many options to choose from, there are 25,000 possible finishes for any one image!
Features:
- Color filters help you adjust the mood – amplify the tone, cool it down, or add surreal shades
- Lighting effects add drama, sparkle or a grunge look
- Finish off your photo process with the right frame – pick a border style that fits you
- No camera required! Select a photo from your gallery and start applying effects. If your device has a camera, you can also snap a new picture from within the app
- Share your vintage image directly with your friends through Facebook or imm.io
- Export your finished image back to your gallery. Images can be saved in high resolution (up to 2k x 1k), depending on the resolution of the original image

Early Bird
This is an interesting game that makes quite a good example of the old saying “The early bird gets the worm”. That is your purpose in this game. You control the bird via swiping it around the screen. This game is pretty weird though because it was FREE for the iPhone but it is PAID for the Android.
Official Description:
Help the Early Bird catch the worm! But be careful, challenges await as you flutter through 96 amazing levels. Discover beautiful landscapes, earn achievements & top the leaderboard as you swipe your way to success in this incredible action puzzle game.
