InstaMeme! app review: a photo editor with meme and rage faces

Reviews

Introduction

Well, I believe the title speaks for itself. Instameme! by Ichaban Mobile is a simple photo editing app that allows you to stick on all kind of meme faces and effects on any photo from your photo roll or ones that you’ve taken right there and then.  The app doesn’t do more than that. All the effects and editing possible, with an exception for the meme faces and meme text, have been added by Aviary, the creators of a free photo editor easily implemented in any app.

What's a Meme?

A meme is a term used for an idea, style, or behavior that spreads from person to person within a culture. Viral videos are a great example for memes, like the Star Wars Kid, or the sneezing panda. This app has nothing to do with those two, as the meme and rage faces mentioned are ones that are now heavily linked in to sites as 9Gag and 4chan, and have nothing to do with the origin of the word meme. Internet memes are the right way of saying it. So in addition of adding these faces to a photo, which can add a lot of hilarity, you can also add bottom and top text, as is frequently seen on the aforementioned websites.

 

Options

Every time you boot up the app, an ad pops up full-screen, which can be rather annoying. In this app, only 75 of these faces are available for you to play around with, which is plenty. For a mere $0.99, you can unlock all the other faces (over 150 more) and remove the annoying advertisements. I think that is quite a ripoff as you can get any off this for free on the Internet.

The best thing about this app is the Aviary editor, mentioned in the introduction, as this editor on its own has a lot more options than any free editor out there. Of course this editor comes with its own host of in app purchases like filters and stickers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Add text and faces to any photo you want
  • The Aviary Editor for all your editing needs

 

Cons

  • Charging money for more faces
  • Limited possibilities outside Aviary

 

Conclusion

Instameme! is a fun little app. It’s designed for both iPad and iPhone, is available in tons of languages and is less than 30 MB big. If you are a big fan of the meme humor that has been dominating the Internet the last few years, you can definitely have a lot of fun with this app. If you have no idea what I have been talking about throughout this review, don’t bother, as most of the face jokes are in the category “you should have been there.” Personally I liked the limited features of this app. In the words of one of these famous faces, Me Gusta.
