Your camera will be set up for pictures of any style with this week’s iPhone apps of the week. Between 80s style photos, homemade GIFs, and customised filters, you’ll be a snapshot machine.
1-Bit Camera: This takes the quality of the iPhone’s 8-megapixel camera and throws it out the window, creating fun retro photos. With this app, you’ll be able to take snapshots in the style of the ’80s era Mac OS and share them instantly on Facebook or Twitter. Free
Wavii: You’ll never miss a current event with this app. It builds you a customised news feed, lets you pick specific topics you want to follow, and automatically offers status updates on your favourite subjects. Free
Live Nurse: Hypochondriacs, take note: this app is dangerous for you. It includes a wealth of health info from the A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia, but the most useful part is that it lets you chat live with an RN 24/7. So if you fall ill in the middle of the night with hours left until you doctor’s office opens, this app can be your Florence Nightingale. Subscription
Jittergram: This app turns your photos into 3D stereograms. It takes two consecutive photos and instantly turns them into GIFs, without hassle. And you can share all of your creations on Twitter with just a couple of taps. Free
Snapster: Now that Facebook has purchased Instagram for a whopping $US1 billion, you might be searching for alternatives. Snapster is a great option because not only does it have existing filters, it lets you create your own, too. Free
