Remains of the Day: Giphy Cam Now Available for Android
Giphy Cam, an app that lets you create GIFs using your phone’s camera, has finally hit the Play Store .

- The new version of Giphy Cam for iOS can be a real highlight of today’s news in GIF format. You can now embed GIFs in a scene, and it will intelligently hold your GIFs in place with scene movement – the same thing you might have seen on Snapchat. This feature is exclusive to iOS for now, but it will eventually hit Android as well. See example below. [Giphy]
- Speaking of fun photo filters , the popular Prisma filter app can now apply its scenic effects to short videos. There are nine filters available and you can apply them to short 15 second videos. After all, looking at all those individual video frames is a tedious task. [The Next Web]
- Shazam has released a fast and light version of their music app, especially for regions where reliable data connection is hard to find. Unfortunately, it is only available in these regions like India and Indonesia, but maybe the APK will show up somewhere if you want to manually install it. [Engadget]
- Amazon’s new music service specifically tailored for the Echo will launch in the next few weeks. Amazon Echo works great as a music player, but Amazon Prime’s music library is pretty limited. This new service, which is said to cost $ 5 a month, will offer a larger Spotify-like library. It will also be available as a standalone service without Echo for $ 10 a month. [The Verge]
