I like addLib U. It’s a cute concept that I’ve never seen before that also has the benefit of doing something fun and unique.
Quite simply, it takes the photos on your iPhone and arranges them into an artistic, minimalist photo album. It takes photos that you’re familiar with and gives them a unique twist, making them fun all over again.
You can either create your own album manually or do the quick-and-dirty solution of having the program make it for you. I like having the program make it because it feels surprising and interesting to look at.
Each album page has a header and a sub-header. The program uses some sort of catch phrase as a header an the current date as a sub-header. I think it would be slightly cooler if the sub-header date was the date the photo was taken. But that’s just me. Both the header and the sub-header can be customized after the album is created.
Even the interface of the app is minimalist and artistic. It even gives you the ability to change the background wallpaper. This program should do very well in cities like Portland, Oregon and the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY.
Completed albums can be posted on most of the major social networks including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Instagram. The albums can also be e-mail from the app or saved to the Image Library.
This is a good app for revitalizing your photos. With the tap of a finger, you can make old, familiar images become fresh and new all over again. Recommended.
