Ever been at a concert and wished your friends could experience the atmosphere with you? Ever been on a mountain top and wished your family could experience the same view? Ever thought "they've got to see this!" but simply taking a picture was not enough? Share your experiences with unique images taken in a unique way with your iPhone 4 and "You Gotta See This!" Read on to learn how it works...
Simply start the recording in "You Gotta See This!", swipe the scene up, down, left and right with the camera and share the image created by one of the six amazing themes on Twitter, Facebook or by email. Or simply save it to your camera roll for later presentation.
The app creates collages of images that you take by slowly moving the camera around in 3D space. The resulting images are somewhat similar to what is called "panography" or "Hockneyesque" (after the artist David Hockney).
"You Gotta See This!" uses the iPhone 4 gyroscope to determine the camera orientation while you record and positions the images it takes accordingly on a flat surface to create the spacial collages.

Editors comments: The video above and the blurb from the developers website tells you all you need to know about this app, which is easy to use, and lets you create photo collage's in the style of David Hockney, right on your iPhone.
The photos are saved at various resolutions depending on the style/layout that you choose, but all are acceptable, and the app has a few settings that can tweak; these are:
- The camera, which can be switch from the main (back) or the front facing camera.
- The iPhone 4 flash, which can be switched on or off.
- The focus and exposure, which can be left on auto or locked.
Verdict
This is a nice, easy to use app that lets you create good looking photo collages right on your iPhone, and if you are a fan of that David Hockney style, then this is a must have app, and gets a 4 star rating from me.
