5 STAR REVIEWDale Haughey

Task I have been asked to do five reviews on

any given subject. I chose to review the camera apps that available for the iphone. The five I chose were instagram, 3d camera, instaeffects, manga merger and the power camera.

Criteria I will rate them on usability, the different functions, the price,

and the picture quality. This is the icon I will use to rate the apps.

The usability is how easy the app is to use, so if it is user friendly it will get a higher rating however if it is complicated and hard to use it will be lowered.

The functions can be anything from different effects to recording ability, so the more they have to higher the rating will be.

The price is also a factor, the cheaper it is the higher the rating will be.

The camera is 8 megapixels and this criteria determines whether the different functions obscure the image and make it blurry or leave it clear.
