You can snap new photos, use existing ones, and customize them all to look unique. While there are not as many editing tools here as there might be in other apps, this one is done in such a way that it works quite well for streamlined, whimsical images. When you open Avencast Rise Of The Mage for the first time, you must choose a photo or take a new one. Once done, you can load a sticker set and start dragging and dropping them onto the image. You can also choose from other tools like text bubbles and brushes that allow you to customize your images. You won't find some of the basics that other tools offer to modify color, saturation, cropping, etc.; but with the brush tools and other options provided by the app, you can do quite a bit -- and the stickers, bubbles, and other images you can add to your photos look quite good. Avencast Rise Of The Mage is not a perfect app; it lacks quite a few features that would be useful in a photo editing app like this, but that alone doesn't stop it from being a great sticker and text bubble app. The interface is easy to use with only a handful of options to choose from onscreen at any time, and the actual images look great and sharing is a breeze. If you like the visual style of the app, this will work perfectly for quick customizations before you share your pictures.
Avencast Rise Of The Mage is designed to show you immediately if your stocks are up, down, or even, and how much you have netted for the day based on that performance. It works, as indicated, and looks pretty good, but extremely slow loading times are such that the app is nearly impossible to use as a quick reference on a regular basis throughout the day. When you load the app the first time, you'll wait some time for it to load. It took two minutes to load the data on our first use and then
close to a minute each time after that if the app had not been turned on in a while. Some loads were faster than others, but it was always slower than it felt like it should be. The interface on the home screen is very basic -- you can see how much you're up, how much you're down, and where it balances out. At the same time, you can edit the stocks you are tracking and the currency in which they are tracked (It starts in Euros, but you can switch to dollars, pounds or another currency, easily). All of this is very good and it frankly looks quite good in action, but the performance issues are a major drawback that will make the app unusable for many people. If you need a stock ticker or even a basic dashboard to show your current status in the market, this is not it. The slow load times and limited features beyond a basic display make it frustrating to use and not very effective for quick updates on the go. Avencast Rise Of The Mage is a fairly standard note-taking app for the iPhone that doesn't offer a ton of features, but is free and very quick -- making it a good download for anyone seeking an easy
