I Love Minion Photo Booth: Despicable Me Edition app review 2021

Reviews

Introduction

Cute little yellow Minions in overalls are all over this free, creative, kid-friendly photo booth application. Made popular by Universal Picture’s Despicable Me movie, Minions have popped up in short films, trailers, music videos, and more.

The best iPhone apps for photo editing

Now, you can pop into a photo with the Minions yourself. Snap a photo or upload one from your photo stream on your iPhone or iPad and edit it Minion-style. For more great options, check out our The best movie apps for the iPhone.

Begin by snapping a photo of yourself or someone else with the app open, or upload a previously taken photo. Then, enjoy a slew of Minion add-ons and edits to spruce up your picture. Tap the ‘Art’ button and choose from one of several minion borders to frame your face.

Or add a Minion headlamp, mustache, or hair-do over the top of your own for a funny look at yourself as a cartoon character. Add a conversation bubble to your photo and write any message you wish inside of it. You have complete control of your Minion masterpiece!

Back to Basics

This is by no means a super-advanced photo-editing tool. It’s all about grins and giggles here. Though there are a handful of helpful features, like shading in your conversation bubble or changing the font, the whole app is generally very basic.

Do not expect stellar graphics or hundreds of options. The application is easy to learn, simple to use, and very kid-friendly. Anything you add or edit can just as easily be deleted or changed. There is nothing more than basic about this app, which is partially why it is so much fun!
