Description from the AppStore: Monochrome pictures can be amazingly beautiful, but only if you have the right tool available.
The tool you are looking for has three different kinds of Monochrome filters aboard, has an easy eye-catching single touch interface and doesn't pillage you in the pocket. It's called MonoPhix.
With MonoPhix you can create Monochrome images from your pictures with one touch. Even advanced image editing apps on your mac/pc require multiple filters and adjustments to create these high depth and high quality monochrome images.
Other than other iPhone apps, MonoPhix uses a special technique to create depth without losing quality, hence creating the most beautiful Black & White effects possible on any platform.
Black and white photography is an art and you could be the artist today.
FEATURES :
- High Resolution support
- Normal quick Monochrome filter comparable to other apps
- Deep Monochrome filter with special depth generation
- Hard Monochrome filter for classic monochrome without grayshades
- Easy to use
- Eye-catching interface with dock

Editors comments: This is another one of those black and white apps, but is it any better than the rest of them? read on to find out.
The app
MonoPhix is easy to use and has a simple clean interface. After you launch the app you are presented with the apps splash/home screen and from here you load a photo from your camera roll/photo album. Having selected and loaded your photo you then have the option to select Gray Mono, Deep Mono or Hard Mono from the icons/buttons at the bottom of the screen. Select the effect you want and and then either tap Save to save the photo or Return to undo the effect and select one of the others.

Over all this is not a bad app, but like all apps the final effect heavily depends on the exposure and type of photo being used. Overall I still prefer the black and white effects achievable with the filters found in Tiffen's Photo fx or Cool fx, than with this, or any other black and white app (with the exception of Spica) currently available for the iPhone, but if you like the look of the results below, then give this app a go, after all it's only £0.59/$0.99.
