EPIC: a new look at the pictures

The official application store for Mac OS X has had and continues to have a major impact on the entire ecosystem of software for the Mac. If previously dominated by utilitarian applications, but now developers are more likely to take risks: release interesting, but simple products. Typically, such programs serve one or two functions (but do it perfectly!) Have an innovative interface and are within the five dollars. For example, the studio has released an application Iconfactory TakeFiveWhich just reminds play music if the user has set the player to pause.

EPIC - the hero of this review - also belongs to the class of simple programs. The app offers a fresh look at the process of the demonstration photos. ePic connects to Flickr online service, download the most interesting pictures and photos marked with a particular tag, and displays them on the screen of your Mac. The whole "trick" - in the effects that are used to show pictures.

As a source of photos for ePic can be used not only to Flickr, but also the local library iPhoto, as well as any folder with beautiful pictures.

ePic can serve as a beautiful modern screensaver. To do this, simply enter in the program settings window, the computer is idle, after which the application should automatically begin.

EPIC - ably made the application. Now the Mac App Store can be purchased for $ 4.99.

Advantages:

+ Good screensaver
+ Good spelled "physics"

Disadvantages:

- I would like to have more different effects
- In a world of colorful flicker photos / illustrations are not limited to. I would like to have support for Picasa, and others.
- Price after the completion of the action seems a bit high.
