Selfies are the way of the future, the word having exploded in popularity in the last couple years, and then the popularity of snapping a pic of your mug has since skyrocketed (not that photographic nihilism was ever not popular). There is now even a TV show that has co-opted the word for its title! App programmers have ridden the wave of Oxford’s “Word of the Year” for 2013 and created apps to enhance and use your selfies in new and interesting ways. DailyAppShow has scoured the interwebs to find the best of the best in apps that make the best of your magnificent mugshot.
Selfie
What better app to start with than the most appropriately titled one? Selfie is –obviously– dedicated to taking, editing, and sharing selfies in a clean, useable app with tons of features.
Selfie is the next generation social experience that connects you with people across the globe. Find people in every country expressing themselves with inspirations from the daily #Theme.
Snap a pic, customize it with frames, filters, and effects, and share it to the world! Smile, you’re on the internet.
Loopcam HD
What’s even better than selfies? Moving selfies, obvi. Loopcam HD’s got your back with the slickest app to make awesome looping videos and customize them with photos and filters. Then go post your loop directly to Instagram or send it by email to the people who need to see your face at 30 frames per second. Boom.
EyeEm
EyeEm? I barely knowEm! Do you want to get on that selfie game but you need your pics to look pro? EyeEm is here to gently caress your photos into perfection with expert camera tools and snazzy adjustable filters. After that? Show your pic off:
Follow like-minded people and emerging photographers. Share your photos with your friends across Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare and Flickr with just one tap.
GET INSPIRED
Discover and follow new albums based on your interests and from the world around you. Explore Street Photography, Fashion, Architecture, and 1000s more.
Shots
The app made famous by the pop band Justice Beaver (am I getting that right?), Shots is a front-facing-cam-only app where you posts photos of yourself and your friends in an Instagram-inspired feed of everyone you choose to follow. The company places emphasis on creating a positive social atmosphere, and decided to leave the comments out. You can still send a private “shot” to specific friends though! Awesome.
Frontback
Frontback. To save your the pain of my terrible, dirty puns, I’ll let them tell you what the app is all about:
Frontback is a fun new camera app that let’s you capture and share what you see and how you feel at any moment. With Frontback, you can take a photo with the front and back camera and share it in a single image.
Cool, right? Give your friends a quick glimpse at the moments of your life in a fun and unique way. Found a frontback you love, or have some other strong emotion about? Use the new REACT feature to reply with a five second video. THE FUTURE!
