Shift – New iPhone Photography App by Pixite Coming Soon
Shift is a new app by developers Pixite, of Fragment, Union, Tangent, Matter and LoryStripes fame. They have produced competent apps in the past and Shift promises to be another. According to Pixite, “Shift lets you create your own personal photo filters with one tap of a button. Shuffle through an endless combination of textures, colors, and blends to produce stylish effects like grit and grunge, vintage, light leaks, and high contrast black and whites”. We have attached the developers promotional trailer below to give you an insight. We have not tested this app and so we are not able to give an independent view at present.

"That’s been a huge problem for Japan." Between 2013 and 2014 alone, point-and-shoot sales fell 30 percent, according to Ben Arnold,…
