Our Daily App Giveaway – Halftone
Welcome once again to our Daily App Giveaway section of theappwhisperer. We value our readers so much we want to share our love of apps with you. That’s why we have created this new section as each day we will be giving away free apps.
Today we have Halftone apps to giveaway, each worth $0.99/£0.69. Halftone turns your photos into unique, vintage comics that friends and family will love! More than a simple “photo filter” app, Halftone makes it easy to add paper styles, captions, speech balloons, graphic stamps, and fonts (including built-in comic fonts). Your final image can be sent via e-mail, uploaded directly to Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr, shared with apps like Instagram, Camera+, and Color Splash, printed, and even sent as a real, physical postcard through the mail.
You can read more about this app below and view the demonstration video but would you like to try this app for free and find out why we like it so much? If so, like us on Facebook (see bottom of page), join our ever expanding Twitter followers, RETWEET THIS POST and send a reply to the bottom of this page telling us what you love most about theappwhisperer.com. We will select winners at random and send the promo codes directly to your email box. Just let us know whether you would prefer the iPhone or iPad version.

The Appwhisperer.com is a great resource for all things “app” and had a habit of perfect timing with release Of apps and great value pointers.
Would I be so greedy to ask (or lucky to get) to get an iPhone and an iPad code? 😉
