Follow on Google News | Getting Your Kids to Say “Cheese”…There’s an App for ThatPicasound is a New iOS App that Uses Sound Effects to Help You Take Better Photos of Your Children, Pets and More
By: Picasound Compatible with all Apple devices running iOS 4 or newer (including the new iPhone 5), Picasound is an app that puts the power of a professional photographer right in your hand. Choose any of 48 fun, attention-grabbing sounds to be played while taking a photo of your baby, toddler, child, favorite pet or other subject. Sounds include: *** Animals! *** Cow, Dog, Duck, Sheep, Pig, Rooster, Lion, Frog, Horse, Chimpanzee, Seagull, Dolphin *** Instruments! Piano, Electric Guitar, Snare Drum, Bongo Drum, Xylophone, Harpsichord, Bagpipe, Gong, Trumpet, Saxophone, Maracas, Tambourine *** Noises! *** Baby Rattle, Alarm Clock Bell, Ambulance, Siren, Train, Ringtone, Fire Truck, Alarm Clock Buzz, Police Car, Hazard/Warning, Keys Jingling *** People/Robots! Children ‘Hey!’, Cowboy ‘Yeehawwww’ You can choose your favorite sounds from each category and save them in a Favorites category. This makes the sound (or sounds) that get you the best results easier to access and readily available for future use. Once you have selected a sound, simply press down on the capture button and the sound will play on a loop through your phone’s speakers. Now that you have a reaction out of your subject, simply release the capture button and the photo is taken and saved to your device. You can then use Picasound to share your photos via Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail integration. The idea for Picasound came from three Tampa Bay Area businessmen (and fathers): Dan Roberts, Eric Stone and Mike Rea. Back in August, Dan was at Busch Gardens and happened to notice several parents having to take multiple pictures on their smartphones by making monkey sounds because their children wouldn't look at the camera and smile. It occurred to him that professional photographers that take pictures of children often use some kind of noise maker to get their subject’s attention. Dan spoke with Eric, a professional app developer, and the two determined that no iOS app existed that could do this. Mike was brought in to provide financial expertise and market it. The three worked together to build it and run it through the paces to create the app that was released today. According to Dan Roberts, “As a dad, the biggest obstacle I have in capturing good pictures…and I’m talking about ‘send to grandma and grandpa, make into a Christmas card’ pictures…is getting my kids to look where I want them to and give me a good, realistic smile. So, I figured if kids get distracted by the littlest things, why not use that in my favor. That’s what Picasound does; it gets them to look and giggle so I can get a great picture. With the holiday season upon us, I can see Picasound being one of those must-download apps for parents.” Technical Information Category: Photo & Video Released: Nov 27, 2012 Version: 1 Size: 33.2 MB Language: English Seller: Return of the App, LLC Requirements: Website: www.picasound.com End
