New iPhone Photo App: ShakeIt & ShakeIt Lite, Polaroid effect apps
Saturday, May 30, 2009 at 7:55AM | Glyn Evans ShakeIt
ShakeIt emulates an instant film camera on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Of course ShakeIt could never replace the good old Polaroid, Instax and Instamatic cameras - but hopefully it brings back some of that fun!
ShakeIt develops its instant photos slowly, just like the real thing. Of course you can always Shake your instant photo to speed up its developing time - ShakeIt does this too.
HOW TO USE
- Tap "Standard" or "Long" (photo format)
- Select a photo from your library or take a new photo with the iPhone camera
- Allow your instant photo to develop - at this point you might like to ShakeIt!
- Save your instant photo
ShakeIt was designed and developed by Nick Sayes and Kevin Wang.
ShakeIt extends the functionality of ShakeIt Lite. It allows the creation two alternate instant film formats and saves the resulting photos at a considerably higher size and resolution. More functionality is planed for future releases of ShakeIt.

These guys are shameless. ShakeItPhoto has been out for awhile now, and so far has the best Polaroid-like effect. Couldn't they think of another name?
Well spotted Brandon, I'd forgotten about ShakeItPhoto
agreed. actually im angry about the blatant ripoff, as ShakeItPhoto has become, hands down, my favorite iPhone photo app. The only app that doesn't cause the phone to crash when taking a picture!
Ok I need to get ShakeItPhoto app or search out a promo code & test this out.
=)
Hi, I'm the developer of ShakeIt. The process of getting these apps up on the store took about 4 months (we submitted 4 months ago). The name was also chosen 4 months ago - thats 3 months before ShakeIt Photo came out. So ... sorry about the name clash, a bit unfortunate, but certainly was not a copy.
Other than the name being similar this does have some interesting functions, and definately liking the free version. Would be interested to see what other functions they're bringing out with the future pro versions...
ShakeIt Developer, thanks for posting your comments. With all the current huha surrounding Polaroid/Polaroid effect apps, I'm amazed (but glad) you got your app approved. It will be interesting to see what new effects you try and implement, and if any future releases get approved.
Thanks Glyn,
Just you wait, there is some serious enhancements planned !!!

I think I speak for Glyn & myself when I say.... that the 2 of us should be on your Beta Testers team. As well I did email you last week but no reply.
Cheers
