Visual storytelling

Want photos you’re not ashamed to show?

Linea is a photo-browsing app that now has a beta version of its intelligent algorithm, designed to instantly arrange every picture uploaded, based on its strongest focal point, into a linear collage.

With Linea, every uploaded photo frames itself. Drawing data from each photo, Linea automatically searches for the most interesting component ~ whether it be the photo’s positioning, the most aesthetically appealing element or the quality of the image uploaded. Then, Linea arranges the photos into a beautiful mosaic and gives users a unique way to share, view and print photobooks.

As for those birthday party photos you’d prefer no one ever saw? Well, you’re on your own.

Spend less, eat more

Did we have you at “eat”?

On average, Americans spend about $7,800 a year on groceries. Now, there’s an app that can bring that number down.

Instead of printing grocery lists and recipes or using cookbooks, everything needed to plan and shop for meals for the week is on a smartphone with eMeals’ new mobile app ~ and you can save upwards of $1,000 a year on groceries to boot as you seek the cheapest tastiest versions of meals you love.

From classic to clean eating, gluten-free, paleo, portion control and more, eMeals has a meal plan for you.

Get your Own look

Want to start putting your best face forward? It all starts with great skin.

Using facial-recognition technology to track 50 points on your face, My Own app analyzes a photograph of the user and provides a clinical evaluation of the major signs of aging, along with nutrition, wellness and beauty recommendations based on individual aging results.

The app assesses signs of aging by the number of fine lines, deep-set wrinkles, percentage of pigment and number of age spots. Those numbers are then compared to others in your age group.

Users take a photo of their faces, answer a few questions and indicate skin type and date of birth. Within two minutes of submitting this data, they receive an analysis of their complexion. The numbers are then compared to others in your age group. Upon the evaluation, you’ll receive a side-by-side comparison of the current submitted photo and a photo of what you could look like after following a recommended skin care and wellness regimen. There’s also a tracking tool, which lets you see how your complexion changes over time

My Own App is free and available for iPhone, iPad and android. Test it out at itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-own/id538721173?ls=1&mt=8.
