This feature allows users to tell longer form stories without needing to splice together bunches of short video clips, after-the-fact. The user-friendly functionality gives even the…

Letter to Jane – Fabulous Photography iPad Magazine
One area we have been thinking about adding to theappwhisperer.com for some time is reviewing and highlighting iPad Photography magazines. I don’t mean photo app review style magazines, I’m talking more about sophisticated state of the art digital photography magazines. There are many photography and art iPad magazines available but few that meet the criteria that we’re striving to cover here. Letter to Jane is the first one that we would like to acknowledge in this new series, as one reviewer put it ‘Letter to Jane is by turns surprising, delightful, sensual, engaging, and very smart. It creates a whole new magazine format, one totally unrelated to anything having to…

Fourteen Female Photographers You Should Know Right Now…
PhotoShelter have put together a great article, highlighting fourteen outstanding female photographers and their work. Of course, this list is not exhaustive, we could add plenty more – specifically female mobile photographers that you should know now. Nonetheless, the creativity, style, ingenuity and integrity of these photographers is second to none. Perhaps, the one that hits home most to me, is the the work by New York based Sara Naomi Lewkowicz. ‘Sara rose to prominence with her domestic abuse essay in Ohio entitled “Shane and Maggie” while pursuing a Master’s degree at Ohio University.
