Editors comments: Despite these updates, I still prefer ShakeItPhoto and Polarize for my iPolaroids.

Hi Glyn

what is it about ShakeItPhoto, and even Polarize, that makes you prefer it over ShakeIt... have been trying to work out which to buy... I have Polarize already...

cheers

@ TrevorML. I prefer Polarize for its felt pen option, and ShakeItPhoto for its overall effect. I am not a fan of ShakeIt, as when I tested it, I have found the results inconsistent. I have uploaded some test photos here, and if you look at the shop photos you will see how they differ. If you look at the photo called "Which Polaroid is best, pic 2?" and then the same photo "Shop sale - ShakeIt" you will see how different they are despite being the same photo, processed by the same app, ShakeIt.

thanks for the excellent comparison Glyn... VERY much appreciated indeed... looks like I now know which one I will be going for :-)

cheers

I would have to say I think ShakeIt is my preference.

1. ShakeIt has a preferable Polaroid frame. (unlike ShakeItPhoto).
2. The inconstancy is part of the fun? It would seem there is a different frame and color tint for each photo?
3. The long format is quite nice too.

At the end of the day, each of the polaroid apps are now 99cents. Its funny how we are all so stingy with loosing 99cents, I know I am. But for the price of a coffee we can have all of them.
