Featured App: Battle Camp

by Leave a Comment

Battle Camp is a great FREE app I came across and haven’t been able to put it down since. I’ve been seeing a lot of these types of games lately but this one is by far the best. Customize your little character from head to toe. They start you off with plenty of hairstyles and clothes, unlike some apps that want you to pay for 90% of the goods with real money. There is the option of in-game purchases, of course, like more energy and coins.

Battle other players in PvP, or monsters within the game. It’s as if Bejeweled and Pokemon had a love child. Match 3 or more and it creates an attack or gives you health. Fight to gather new monsters to battle with. Evolve them, make them stronger to battle your opponents.

Facebook App: Bitstrips

If you’ve been on Facebook lately you’ve probably noticed comic strips like the one above taking over your news feed. They are from a Facebook app called Bitstrips. You create your avatar by choosing from a variety of different looks such as face, hair, clothes, and even make-up. Once your avatar is complete you can start making your comics, using them as status updates and greeting cards. You can also add your friend’s avatars that they have made and make silly comics. There are many other features in the app, like changing wording, positions, create thought bubbles and many more.

It may seem like a new thing, but Bitstrips was actually created in 2012, and the reason for it’s recent popularity is because they updated it to be an iPhone app as well.

I think the avatars have a great deal of detail and look just like the people who create them. It’s a fun way to update your status and talk to your friends on Facebook, so check it out if you haven’t already right here at Bitstrips.

New Video and Cinema Features on Instagram

June 20, 2013, Instagram announced that video will now be added to the app, along with something they call Cinema. So many of us love taking pictures and sharing it on Instagram, and now we are able to record short video to share as well.

Cinema is a video stabilizing feature that was made with the help of leading Video Scientists to avoid the shakiness we all know. They demonstrated with a few clips on how running can ruin a video, but with Cinema, you can stabilize it as if it was professionally made.
