  • From Face-Morphing to Speed- Reading, the 10 Best Apps of 2014
    05/12/2018, 0040 Page 1 of 1 CULTURE From Face-Morphing to Speed- Reading, the 10 Best Apps of 2014 DECEMBER 30, 2014 2:00 PM by FELICITY SARGENT m J f i Our ten favorite new apps of 2014 fall into two categories: apps that make our lives more convenient and apps that make our content more creative. We’ll kick off with creativity and conclude with convenience, in each case suggesting some features that could make these apps even better next year. PHHHOTO In a Nutshell: instantly adds movement to any scene and turns it into a captivating loop, which you can share on its own mobile social network, as a GIF in texts or emails, or as a video on social networks like Facebook and Instagram. Why It Made the List: It’s fun, fresh, the loops look really cool, and it’s a favorite of music and fashion royalty. Wishes for the New Year: an Android version, more cool filters, a strobe light mode that pulses the flash while you shoot for even more zing, and the ability to add tunes and beats to Phhhotos (you can practically already hear them popping off of **Katy Perry’**s and **Diplo’**s). SUPER In a Nutshell: prompts users to quickly make and share square cards that are a cross between memes, quotes, and pictures. The cards are shared on Super’s mobile social network and are also easily shareable on other social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). RELATED VIDEO Watch: Bella Hadid on Her 10-Pound Sewn-In Veil leaving with not that much hair.

Heaux Tales includes guest appearances by H.E.R., Anderson .Paak and Ari Lennox, as Jazmine channels different characters throughout the seven songs, threaded together with several real-life tales narrated by her friends. The project features production by Key Wane, DZL, Cardiak & Wu10, J Mo, Dev Hynes, Dave “Pop” Watson, Dilemma, JoeLogic & Gee and Bongo ByTheWay. Previously released songs from the project, “Lost One” and “Pick Up Your Feelings,” heightened the anticipation for today’s release and earned coveted spots on multiple “Best of 2020” lists including NPR, Los Angeles Times, Pitchfork, Noisey, and more. Jazmine will bring Heaux Tales to life with performances on NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert (click here at 12pm ET today to be amazed) and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 12.
