Friday App-Test: Facebook Camera & Pages, Score, Paper Airplanes


Facebook-Camera app
: Despite the upcoming Instagram-Purchase FB decided very surprisingly to offer an own developed camera app. The reason? I suppose this project started month ago before the IG-deal and it simply display the recent development FB has made. What is it good for? Well, it is a very slick and beautiful made app with quick view on all of your friends (not pages or groups) shared and your own pictures. You can share single & multiple pictures and you have a crop feature and 15 filters to "beautify" your photographs. Additionally you can tag, like and comment on all pictures, but that's basically it - very basic, very beautiful but nothing ground-breaking. I expect that this app came to stay and will get all the sexiness and features of the upcoming IG-developments. A nice to have I would say http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/facebook-camera/id525898024?ls=1&mt=8


Facebook-Pages app
: Another logical "outsourcing" of the FB-App after the Messenger and the Camera app is an app for page administrators. Obviously it is too hard to integrate the admin tool into the old app and FB seems to be focusing on keeping their mobile service slick. The app does as expected: quick and easy access to owned pages, basic input & insights - simply made for the first quick overview. It is expected that features will added very soon and that this is app is also made to stay :) A must have for FB-Page-Admins.

Score (0,79€): I stumbled upon this one because it stayed for some weeks now on the very top of the download charts. It is a beautiful little game that let the user replay very famous soccer goals by passing and shooting as it happened years ago. It is exactly the game you will look for in some weeks when the European Championship has started. Definitely worth a try for all soccer fans :)
