Sozoom - show off the zoom power of Nokia Lumia 1020 and 1520 in this exclusive app

Sozoom by Volevi is an exclusive app for the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Lumia 1520 that lets you add "zoom balloons" to your photos. It shows off how much you tin really zoom with the special Pureview cameras featured in these two devices. It's a very unproblematic app, only it's not perfect.

Caput past the break to watch our walkthrough video.

When you first open Sozoom, it shows y'all the gallery of photos taken with Nokia Camera. Select one of the photos to become started.

Tap anywhere on the photo show a "zoom balloon" for that area. Drag the balloon around the photo until yous're happy with the placement. You can likewise change the colour of the balloon. Click the three dots and then change colour.

When you're happy with the photograph, y'all can either save information technology to your phone, or share it online. Sozoom's share button uses Windows Phone's built-in sharing capability, and so you can send the photo to Email, Facebook, Twitter, or other apps similar Instagram.

While we love the idea behind Sozoom, there a few things information technology can improve on. The about important one is that saved or shared images are express to 480 pixels width or superlative. That'due south not plenty. If y'all're sharing the prototype to Instagram, it will be stretched to 640 pixels, making the image expect pixelated. Nosotros promise Volevi, the developers of Sozoom, provides higher quality images in an update.

Some other proposition is to let users change the size of the airship. There are currently two sizes available: small and large. We'd like to be able to pinch the balloon to change its size to whatever we like.

We as well want to be able to change the zoom ability. Currently, there's no way to zoom in or out within the airship.

Sozoom is off to a great start, but information technology tin can definitely be improve with some adjustments. This exclusive app for the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Nokia Lumia 1520 can be purchased for 99 cents at the Windows Telephone Store. There'southward as well a free trial available.

Give Sozoom a attempt and permit us know what y'all recall in the comments!
