This just in! A newly released iPhone app called News Booth lets you edit photos to make them look as if they were taken straight out of a television newscast.
Although you can easily use it for pictures of events that are serious and actually newsworthy, News Booth offers more value as a photo app when used all in the name of fun. Caught your cat wearing a silly facial expression? News Booth can turn it into something sillier. About to eat an enormous cheeseburger? News Booth can pass it off as breaking news. Took a picture of a hilarious game at your office party? Share it with others with News Booth, so they too can laugh at "important current events."
Using News Booth is easy. First, choose a photo stored on your device or take a new one. Since News Booth is an app that requires access to your photo gallery, it's necessary that location services be turned on for the app. Otherwise, you can only edit the photos that you take within the app. After you've chosen a photo, choose a theme to make it look like fake news. You can go for a theme that mimics the modern format of cable news channels or opt for a classic black-and-white design. Finally, add some headline texts describing the circumstances of your photo. Like real news headlines, the catchier they are, the better. When you're done, you can of course save the finished image on your device, and you can also post it on Facebook or Twitter.
Promising updates that will bring more themes and native iPad compatibility, News Booth is free until Feb. 26.
