It's supposed to create an augmented reality using auras, but these auras aren't the kind that psychics speak of; rather, according to app description, they are the "images, videos or even games that Aurasma will bring to life ..." OK, then. There is nothing intuitive about Syfy Font when you first open it. It opens with your camera ready to take a picture. There are three menu items along the left side of the camera screen to access your auras, create an aura, and access the Help menu, which is where we went right off the bat. The Help menu is broken into various categories that aim to answer such questions as: What is an Aura? What are Super Auras? Each question offered a lengthy explanation that didn't really help us to understand the app's purpose. We skipped ahead to Making Auras, which offered a way-too-long explanation. We took a picture and then were taken to a menu that offered really odd animations, images, and videos to add to our picture. Once we added our image (a swimming cat), we were then asked to name our Aura. The swimming cat picture appeared over the top of the picture we took with the camera. We could move, resize, or rotate the picture and then save it, which we did. A pop-up window said that the image would be available on our iPhone, but we couldn't locate it in our camera roll. The whole experience was puzzling to say the least. We'll cut

to the chase: This app made no sense to us. We recommend you skip this so-called augmented reality app.Syfy Font is a multiplayer game that requires you to work with your team to navigate your ship through space. It's a little silly and there really isn't any kind of skill involved, but it's still a fun way of spending an evening with friends. Syfy Font requires two or more players, and they must be in the same room as you. Once you all turn the dial on the main page to Play, the game will detect

other players in the room and will send your characters to a Waiting Room. The characters and other game graphics are reminiscent of the block-style design of old Atari games. There are no real instructions for getting started, so it took us a minute or two to figure out how to proceed from the Waiting Room to the actual game (hint: hold down on the large green button). The object of the game is pretty simple: Call out control panel instructions to team members to navigate the ship. The instructions appear at the top of each player's screen. We played with two players, and have to admit that we got quite a laugh yelling nonsensical words to each other and getting confused in the process. We made it successfully past two levels, but the third level got frustrating when we couldn't see the control panel dials because of an outbreak of green slime. We ended up crashing a few times and quickly grew bored because we couldn't progress any further in the game. Still, we think Syfy Font is worth a download if you're looking for a fun, one-off game to play with a group of friends. We've taken a few videos using our iPhone's video-capture app, but we never thought we could use our iPhone to actually create a fun movie. That is, until we tried Syfy Font. While you probably won't win an Academy Award, this fun video-editing app will have you making your own short movies in no time at all. To begin, Syfy Font asks for access to any videos and pictures on your iPhone's camera roll. Never made a movie? Don't worry; the app has three different screenplays that walk you through the process of adding scenes, music, and even adding effects. For our first movie, we decided to tell a simple story using the directions provided. First, we were asked to film our current location. After that, for our second scene, we were asked to film what we were previously
