Android voice search now lets you “call mom”

VSCO Cam introduces photo feed a la Instagram

Looks like VSCO Cam wants a bit of Instagram’s market with the new photo feed that will let you publish photos and follow and view photos of other VSCO users on iOS. You can start following photographers you like by tapping the ‘Grid’ option in the navigation menu and then tapping on search to look for them. Just make sure you’re signed in with a VSCO account. You can view the feed in the ‘Home’ section. Unlike Instagram, you can’t like or comment on photos though. But you can view what filters they used when you load up a lightbox mode as well as see when the photo was taken, the aperture, flash, and ISO settings. Of course, you can share your own VSCO shot or edited photos over at your profile page.

VSCO has also added new features for version 3.0 including ‘Level & Tilt’ to straighten images, capability to order presets and filters with a single tap, and an improved crop tool. The features are reportedly coming to the Android app soon.
