With Christmas almost out-of-the-way, New Year starts to loom large in the very near future. For some people, it’s a bigger thing than Christmas and if you like to celebrate the beginning of a New Year then you’re more than likely the type to enjoy fireworks. Celebrating New Years and fireworks go together like two peas in a pod and with this app from Pocket Scientists you’ll be able to put the two together in style.
Description: Happy New Year Fireworks is a great little app that will only be available in the Play Store for a short time – once the New Year is here it’ll be gone! But, if you like the app, then there is always Christmas Land Live Wallpaper , Jesus in Manger Live Wallpaper, Happy New Year Live Wallpaper, Our World’s End Live Wallpaper and Anniversary Fireworks and Romantic Fireworks app to cover all occasions. So, you better go ahead and enjoy it while you can. The app uses your device’s camera and some clever augmented reality to make it look like you’re looking at a Firework Display! It’s a really cool effect and you should read on to find out more.
How it Works: To get it all set up all you have to do is head over to the Play Store and install it – where you can take a look at other Pocket Scientists apps as well. After that just open the app to get the festivities rolling!
It’s pretty simple to get started with the fun – the app will automatically start to display what’s on the screen. Then all you have to do is move your phone around and look for the Fireworks!
To take a photo, just hit the bottom in the middle of the bottom menu. Then you can share it to your friends on New Years’ Eve!
If you ever get stuck, just hit the left-hand corner at the top to display some tips. Of course, the app is best used at night and you’ll get the best results with little in the background. It’s certainly a great concept.
Opinion: Smaller, simple apps like these are what I really like about smartphones. The same sort of utilities that would help us on our PCs a decade ago are now bringing us fun like this. Happy New Years Fireworks is a fun app that both adults and children will love in equal measure. It might seem a little gimmicky but, aren’t all the best apps a gimmick?
