Funny Face Effects lets you melt, bloat, and warp your face into all sorts of bizarre images. This app is fun for a little while, but you'll probably wipe it from your device once you see all the ads it brings with it.

Before you can get started, the app tries to get you to agree to let it install nasty ads. These mostly take over your browser, so you might miss them if you don't surf with Android's default browser. Though it's called Funny Face Effects on the Google Play store, it appears as "… Read more

Funny Movie Maker - Replace Your Face lets you create funny videos by replacing or adding your own mouth and voice to pictures.

Don't let this app trick you; it has very little to do with Apple's video-chat app. Instead, FaceTime Zone lets you read user information and documentation about FaceTime. It pays you for your trouble with pop-up ads and a junky, hilariously bad layout.

If you want to enter or exit this app, you have to click away from a pop-up ad first. Once you're inside, FaceTime Zone has three buttons that give you information about what FaceTime can do, complete with some stock video-chat photos and a goofy layout. Since you can't use FaceTime on Androids, … Read more

Rage Face Photo allows the user to apply cartoon faces over a photograph to achieve an entertaining result. With very little drawbacks, this app delivers a fun, high-quality application at no cost to the user.

The only drawback to this application seems to be its bloated size. At almost 18MB it could take awhile on slower connections. The installation beyond the download is quite fast. Rage Face Photo opens quickly and doesn't seem to use a lot of resources. Once the clean and intuitive UI is opened, the user needs to select a photo they wish to edit. This … Read more

AT&T customers should be able to use any mobile video chat app before too much longer.

Whether it was an amusement park or a stand on the boardwalk, you probably remember those cardboard cutouts that you could put your face into to take on the body of someone else. They are often funny or ridiculous and they work well in any setting. So why not create an app that does the same thing with the photos on your phone or iPad? That's the thinking behind Face in Hole HD, and while it works as advertised there are some limitations.

The idea of Face in Hole HD is elementary, and creating the subsequent photos is as … Read more

From the moment I first looked at the Pebble Watch, it was clear that this was a device designed to be purely about apps. Unfortunately, none were really available until a week ago, when Pebble at last released an SDK, and along with it, updated firmware for the Pebble watch and a revised smartphone app.

Now, the number of user-made indie Pebble apps is steadily growing, and there are even places to go to browse them: Pebble's own watch face community message boards, and sites like My Pebble Faces.… Read more

You can do a lot with the camera built into your iPhone. Face Stealer is the newest in a long line of apps that use the power of the device and its high- quality camera to great effect, allowing you to effectively transform your face with one of a half-dozen masks. Easy to use and featuring eerie, if rudimentary, augmented reality technology, Face Stealer is a fun app to play with.

Face Stealer does one thing. It takes a photograph of someone else and layers it over your face with the front-facing camera. The effect is that when you look … Read more
