Windows Phone App Review: Moquu

Moquu for Windows Phone

Moquu is a cool photography app for your Windows Phone. Moquu allows you lot to capture a series of photographs and create an animated gif file from them. Blithe gifs can be shared through Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail. Images captured to build the gif can be taken manually, in bursts or in timelapse way.

It takes a footling fourth dimension to get used to Moquu's layout and you lot can't shop the finished production on your Windows Phone (stored on Moquu's server). While it has room for improvement, Moquu gives your Windows Telephone camera a rather nice creative tool.

Moquu Main Pages

The main pages for Moquu has a:

Create Page where you build your gif images
Contempo page displaying gif creations from other users
Albums page displaying your gifs creations and an Inspire Me album filled with gif creations from other users
Way page where you can tweek the camera shutter settings.

Photographic camera settings from the Style page allow you to choose betwixt unmarried shot, timelapse, and burst mode. There is besides settings to set a delay and timer durations for each mode.

The Create folio is where you lot'll spend most of your time and is laid out fairly simply. Up top are controls to import pictures from your Pictures Hub, access the settings and access the help screen. Controls on the viewfinder include a grid on/off toggle, an onion peel toggle where you can see an impression of the previous picture, a reset button, a undo button, your shutter button, and processing button (when you're done shooting and want to build your .gif file).

Moquu Help and Share Screens

Once created, y'all can edit the images by moving them about in the sequence, delete them all together and adjust the speed of the animation. Created gifs can exist shared via Twitter, Facebook or e-mail. Tumblr support is in the works.

And then far everything sounds fairly elementary. Information technology's in one case y'all get your .gif file created things go a piddling disruptive. You need to create a Moquu account to save and share your creations (costless) and .gif files are saved to Moquu'southward website. When sharing gif files, you send links to your Moquu gif instead of the actual file. The files are not saved on your Windows Telephone in the Pictures Hub, which would have been nice.

Moquu test GIF

The end product with Moquu is decent and does expand your Windows Telephone camera'due south creative tools. Merely I'm non certain everyone will like uploading their gif files to Moquu'south site. I would accept preferred to see this equally an option with your images stored on your Windows Phone or perchance even an culling to store them on your SkyDrive account. Information technology's my agreement that the developer is looking into a long tap selection to save the gif to your Pictures Hub which would do the play a trick on also. All in all, I think Moquu has potential but the lack of storing files locally may hold this app dorsum.

Moquu is a free app for your Windows Phone and you tin grab it here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.
