*EDIT*

I'd like to thank everyone that took part in the Beta for Photograffiti, your help has been invaluable! I hope you've all enjoyed testing it as much as we have enjoyed producing it. Version 2.0 is now available in the Store http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=d7d8da35-5613-4f6c-9515-63792c5cfcfc

Heres some screenshots from the new version so that you can see how much it has transformed in the process!


*END EDIT*



Hi All,

I'm the developer of the app Photograffiti, its a photo manipulation app that has been around since the early days of Windows Phone 7, we (Fizzy Pop Apps) are about to update the Mango version of the app again and are in the beta phase, if anyone wants to get involved let me know here and PM me your email address so I can add you into the programme.

Once the beta of this version is finished, the beta for the WP8 version of the app will start, with a bunch of new features that we're working on secretly! If you're in this WP7 round of the beta you will be automagically enrolled into the WP8 round.

I'm really eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions for vNext!



Kind Regards,
David - Fizzy Pop Apps
