First off, the pictures in this article really can&#8217;t do this application full justice. I&#8217;ll work on getting a brief video up of it in action, shortly &#8211; but you really do have to try it yourself. This, is Liquid Pics [<a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=292328274&#038;mt=8\">App Store<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Although this application appears simple, by using it, you can feel it&#8217;s had a lot of thought and effort thrown into it. Your probably wondering what it does? &#8211; Aptly named, you pick a photo, and it becomes malleable on-screen, right there in front of you. Tilt your device in any direction, and watch your photo melt towards that direction. <\/p>\n<p>You can also manipulate your photo with multiple fingers. Every time you touch the screen, white circle will emit (and eventually fade out) from your touch point &#8211; again, another small touch which makes all the difference. In the lower left corner, you&#8217;ll see a small white circle with an arrow in it. Touch it, and a  contextual menu will pop up offering two further options; Select Image and Save Image &#8211; both of which are pretty self explanatory. Images can be selected from your photo library with this option, and the app itself does load one bundled image on first launch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Best Bit<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat I love about this application is the ability for the photo in question to return to it&#8217;s former self. Lay your iPhone or iPod touch down on a flat surface, and watch as the photo untwists to become a normal looking photo again. Next, find your victim, and ask them to pick up the device &#8211; watch their reaction<\/p>\n<p>At \u00c2\u00a31.19 some may find it a bit of a steep joke for an application which has no real purpose, however Liquid Pics is great fun, supports multi-touch and best of all can be used to sucker in unsuspecting people!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grab your Copy: <a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=292328274&#038;mt=8\">Liquid Pics<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><center><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-5492796339190081\";\n\/* 468x60, Article Long *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"9201908648\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/ --><\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve ever want to make someone think their eye&#8217;s have left their body, or you just like the idea of turning your photo&#8217;s into a water like substance, then this is definitely the app for you.
