Looka is an engaging photo-editing app that adds real-time effects to your pictures.

Overview

Looka is a dynamic photo-editing app designed to bring a touch of fun to your photos. This app allows users to apply various effects to their pictures in real time, even before capturing them. Users can choose their desired effect from a collection available at the bottom of the screen and overlay it onto their chosen image.

Basic Features

At its core, Looka offers some fundamental effects such as adding anime-style oversized red eyes to your face. The app does an excellent job in this regard, scanning the user's face and adjusting the size and position of the eyes for optimal fit. Once the effect is in place, users can capture the picture and save it to their device's storage.

Additional Features

Beyond the basic effects, Looka presents a plethora of more sophisticated options. Users can overlay sunglasses onto their face or apply pixelation to censor certain parts. An exciting feature allows users to create an illusion of fireworks in the background. There are enough effects provided by Looka to keep users entertained for considerable periods.

Conclusion

All things considered, Looka is a superb photo-editing app that enables users to create amusing compositions in real time. Its ability to apply effects before the photo is taken sets it apart from many other apps in its category. It offers a wide range of effects, from basic to advanced, ensuring that every user finds something that suits their style. For those looking to add a fun twist to their photos, Looka is a recommended choice.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • RECEIVE_SMS: Allows an application to receive SMS messages.
  • RECORD_AUDIO: Allows an application to record audio.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
