The iPhone is going old-school with its IncrediBooth app. Remember those old photo booths in the mall you would take photos with your friends? The ones that came out on one vertical sheet of photo paper with 4 photos on them. The best part of them was that the camera in the booth would take the pictures right after another and your partner-in-crime in the booth with you couldn’t see the goofy faces you made, and vice versa. So, the final pictures are a surprise to both of you.
IncrediBooth is like the old vintage photo booth, but on your iPhone 4. Here’s how it works:
- Only the iPhone 4 takes advantage of this app with its front facing camera.
- Launch the app and your iPhone 4 looks like a photo booth.
- You can see yourself on the screen in the booth for how the picture will look.
- Turn the big red knob for: black and white or 2 vintage looks.
- Hit the red knob to take the picture.
- A red light blinks and then snaps 4 pictures.
- Hit the arrow to go “outside” and view your photos.
- View / save / e-mail your 4 framed pics or individual ones.
Is it worth it? For only 99 cents, why not! It’s cute and brings back the air of nostalgic musty photo booths. It loses the whole feel of surprise since you can see the preview of how the final photo will look. This is why the vintage photo booth is so popular – the element of surprise with how ridiculous your photo booth partner or you look. That being said, the photos look flawless and puts the vintage photo booth quality to shame. The tech setup is easy and you don’t have to rely on the Apple support folks for this one.
