The Week in iOS Apps: You’ve got the look!

You’ve got the look!

This week’s roundup of new and updated iOS apps includes new ways to make images—both still and video—look great. Now, everything you produce will have a professional sheen.

U-verse

Good news for subscribers to AT&T U-verse: Live TV is now available through the company’s iOS apps. This week’s update to the app—which already featured video-on-demand options—also features a number of bug fixes and a small update to the user interface. But it’s the ability to watch your favorite shows in real time on your iPad or iPhone that should geneate the most joy among the app’s users.

Cameo

Cameo for iPhone is kind of a cross between Vine and other, more extensive video-editing apps: You can only shoot six seconds of video at a time, but you can edit those clips, stitch them into a movie as long as two minutes, pick a soundtrack, and add Instagram-style filters to give the whole thing a coherent look. When you’re done, just share on Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter. Word up.

Fotor HDR

If, on the other hand, you’d like to create some cool-looking still photos, the $2 Fotor HDR app for iPhone is pretty nifty: For one photo, it takes two pics—one overexposed, one underexposed—then combines the two into a single image to create eye-popping “high dynamic range” photos. The app includes presets and filters that allow users to create their favorite image, and to share photos easily on social media.
