Never made a movie? Don't worry; the app has three different screenplays that walk you through the process of adding scenes, music, and even adding effects. For our first movie, we decided to tell a simple story using the directions provided. First, we were asked to film our current location. After that, for our second scene, we were asked to film what we were previously doing. Step three asked us to film a close-up for something visually striking. Two more scenes after that and we were ready to piece together our short film by dragging handles to re-order the scenes, and tapping each scene to adjust. There, we could adjust volume and playback speed, and even play a scene backwards for an added effect. The app comes with its own music library, but you can also choose from your own iPhone library. However, some songs are copy-protected, which prevents you from using them. Still, we found a song from our library and previewed our nearly done masterpiece to see if it needed a voice-over, a video filter, or environment effect (this feature is only available for iPhone 4S and newer). Our video was surprisingly seamless and not half bad. Once you're happy with your video, you can share it on Kahootz 3, send it to friends via e-mail, or save it as 720p HD on your camera roll. We found the whole process incredibly intuitive. You don't have to have filmmaking aspirations to enjoy what Kahootz 3 has to offer. It's
a fun way to capture special moments in your life and share them with friends and family. We highly recommend it for all users.The vanilla camera app on the iPhone and iPad does a decent job at capturing those special moments but sometime the occasion may calls for more. With Kahootz 3 you can turn that little camera into something that will give most dedicated point-and-shoot a run for their money. Packed with a ton of features, Kahootz 3 will bring that dinky phone/tablet camera to the next level. With burst mode those fast-paced sports shots
are now within your reach. Timer function will set free you from another self-portrait with the lower quality front-facing cam. Finally, the featured Stabilizer mode is available for all the trembling hands photographers out there. Kahootz 3 also includes a photo-editor for a little post processing of your creations. Although it doesn't offer complete freedom in editing, the presets does a decent job at mimicking a regular camera's settings such as; adjusting for Clarity, Flash, Cloudy, Shade, Fluorescent lighting, Night shots, Scenery and so on... Once you've made the switch to Kahootz 3, it will be hard to return to the stock app. Except perhaps for doing HDR shots, as that is the one aspect it doesn't handle well. Another minor complaint is that after the shots are taken, they need to be saved in order to appear in your device's album folder. You can, however, set the app to automate this process. That being said, the price-to-features ratio of Kahootz 3 makes it one of the must have app whether you're into serious phone photography (phonography?) or just like taking pictures. Kahootz 3, at least according to the publisher, provides your work and travel itinerary at your fingertips on your phone. We don't speak Bulgarian, the language featured with this app, but bad design is bad design, and we don't think you need an interpreter to recognize it. And Kahootz 3 is a victim of bad design and overall bad performance. The main screen of Kahootz 3 contains three large icons:
