My Review Of Ransom Letters From More Blu Sky (@mbsky)

Simplistic, Creative, and Intuitive, "Ransom Letters" is loads of fun. As the name suggests, you can express your creativity through Ransom Letters. Confused? I'll Spell It Out For You.

Are you getting the picture? Ransom Letters uses custom lettering that looks like it was cut from various magazines and newspapers to spell out whatever message you want. You can type your message on a plain, simulated white paper background, or over top of your favorite photo from your iPhone or iPod Touch camera roll.




The possibilities for creativity are seemingly endless with this app. You can use Ransom Letters to caption your favorite "I Can Haz" photo, create your own internet meme, or send your roommate an MMS message(from very far away) telling him you borrowed his car.





Anything you can imagine, you can now put into words with this easy to use app. Of course, these are only a few examples of the things you can do with Ransom Letters, and I'm sure there are lots of you out there that can come up with tons of hillarious new ways to use Ransom Letters.

The Ransom Letters app has certain features which stand out and make it truly customizable. The first feature is "Pinch To Resize." Once you've typed your message, you can use the pinching gesture to make your text larger or smaller so that it fits just the way you want it. Note here though, that all of your typed text gets resized at the same time, so you may want to use Ransom Letters' second outstanding feature to enhance this first feature.

The second feature is "Shake To Select" which is pretty self explanatory. You shake your phone and the text changes. Although this feature produces random results, it is quick and easy to find a "font" style that fits your needs.






If you aren't happy with what you've created, you can always use the "Reset" feature which gives you a few different options, as pictured below. The really nice part of this feature is that you can reset as often as you like, until you're ready to save your photo.

Now that you've finished editing your Ransom Letters it's time to save your creation. This time you get two options for saving your picture. Both options save the picture to your camera roll, but the second option gives instructions on how to upload your photo to the Flickr.com website.


Overall, I am very impressed with Ransom Letters, as this isn't a gimmicky throw-away app, but rather it's a quick, easy, artistic way to enhance your favorite photos before you share them using Flickr Upload or by texting them to everyone in your iPhone contact list. I am confident that anyone would enjoy using this app over and over again.

Ransom Letters, Developed by More Blu Sky, is a bargain at $0.99 (Link

As always, thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my review. Feel free to post your Ransom Letters Creations as a response to this blog. I would really love to see your creations, and I'm sure that More Blu Sky would appreciate it as well.
