User Rating:With one in every seventh human watching the Gangnam Style video, it wouldn’t have been difficult for developers to think of a related app. Though many apps tried their luck, only few like the Gangnam Dancebooth by WiseGecko Inc. managed to make their mark.
I know all of you have tried those moves in a closed room but this app lets it go public. The name, icon and a couple of screenshots would make clear what the app does.
Take your own picture or choose a photo of your buddy and crop out the head. The rest is done by the 20 megabyte app and within a few seconds, you have your own version of PSY. Choose the best suited costume for the avatar and hit play. Its time to stand back and watch the comedy fiesta as your character hits the floor. The same funny steps and curves for a familiar face and no one could hold their smile.
The copyright claims are cleverly evaded by playing the whole video in the bottom bar. You have the option to record upto one minute of your creation and save it to camera roll or share it via email or to Facebook.
The pay for developers come when you decide to purchase more costumes – $0.99 each or $2.99 for the whole pack. But the best costumes, including a female version, are provided in the lite version itself and most wouldn’t need to spend a penny. So, try out this free entertainment app and be sure to tell us what you think.
