It’s an app that basically allows you to take a picture of someone, align the key features with the dots on the screen, and turn it into a fat version of whatever was snapped!

It’s hilarious, and I really can’t recommend it enough. I took a picture of myself, and I must say, I look about 40 stone heavier, with a few double chins!

The thing is, though, it actually looks realistic – whereas I thought it would just look fake and quite poor really.

The real reason I’m talking to you about this is to discuss the technology behind the software. It’s such a simple piece of technology, but it’s so effective.

Here’s a quick run down of how the face-changing technology works:

Well, it takes the picture – obviously – and asks you to align certain features of the face with dots on the screen. This saves the software a lot of time and means it works a lot faster.

Once you have aligned the dots, all the software does is place ‘weight’ (or just add volume) to the areas the points were required to be lined up… and hey presto, you’ve got yourself an over-weight version of whoever you took a photo of!

Like I said, it’s so simple, but it’s these sort of apps that make the Iphone so great.

I thought to myself, it’s only been out a month or so, and I bet it’s already brought in more money in sales than most of us will earn in a lifetime – that’s just how powerful this company is.

So, I edgily shuffled over to the counter, checking no-one else was making their own way there too… let me tell you know, if they were, I would have leaped into position and fought for a go on the Ipad! Luckily, I was the only one in the store, and I had a good half an hour fiddling around with the sleek machine.

It’s so smooth, it’s so bright… but it’s surprisingly heavy considering its size. That doesn’t take away the fact that this technological advancement is absolutely wonderful.

Having a play around with the Ipad’s functions was far more enjoyable than fiddling around on my laptop or phone – and that’s why I bought one there and then.

The ease of moving from app to app, the transition between screens, the sheer potential of this machine make it an absolute winner. It’s a must buy for any of you techies out there, and can literally be taken everywhere.

For me, the Ipad is like a perfectly cooked cake. It’s smooth, it serves its purpose and it gives you just the right amount of what you need.
