Shakesperry for iOS

Shakesperry Flower Bouquet Shop lets you create custom bouquets to send to your friends or share on Facebook with just a few taps. Pick the perfect combination of flowers, greenery, and accents, and then find just the right vase to hold your creation. Then you're all ready to really brighten someone's day.

This app has an appealing, arty interface, with a main screen that gives you access to the Help feature, a gallery that will house your creations, and the flower shop, itself. You may want to peruse the Help screens before you get started, but there's not a whole lot of information in there that you won't figure out pretty quickly on your own. When you're ready to begin working on your own bouquet, just tap the "Start" button, and you'll find yourself inside the flower shop. Across the bottom of the screen, you'll see icons representing the various types of items you can use in your bouquets including flowers, greenery, ribbons, exotic plants, dried leaves, and more. There is also a nice selection of vases for you to choose from if you want to dress your creation up a bit. If you need to trim your flowers, you'll find the shears in the lower right-hand corner of the screen above the toolbar. To arrange the items in your bouquet, just drag and drop them, and you can resize the flowers or other items by pinching or expanding with two fingers.

The idea behind this app is great, although the interface can be a bit clunky at times. But if you're willing to put in a little bit of effort, you can make some nice designs. When you're happy with what you've put together, tap the menu icon in the upper right-hand corner of your working screen, and then select the camera to save the image of your bouquet to your camera roll. This app is free, but to access all of the varieties of flowers, plants, and more, you'll have to upgrade. Unlocking individual packages like all flowers or all accessories costs $2.99 for each, or you can unlock everything for $9.99.
