Make your photos a little more fun. Caption Magic suggests playful captions and short stories for the photos you choose, then helps you turn your favorite into a shareable image. • Pick a photo, take a picture, or paste an image. • Choose a caption or story and adjust how the text looks. • Try Magic Backgrounds on photos with people. • Save or share the finished image, and revisit recent creations in History. Caption Magic uses Apple Private Cloud Compute for captions and stories when it’s available. Otherwise, it can send the photo you choose to OpenAI to generate them. You can turn off OpenAI fallback in Settings. Free includes 20 caption or story generations combined and 20 Magic Background uses each day on this device. Caption Magic Pro removes those app limits, the export watermark, and in-app ads. Standard Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Booma

Features

Loop any video — repeat it up to 10 times, or turn it into a boomerang that plays forward then backward. Pick a clip, choose how it loops, and save it to Photos or share it anywhere. No ads. No subscription. Pay once and loop forever. Other loop apps charge $5.49 a month — and then charge you again to remove the ads. Booma doesn't: one small payment unlocks unlimited loops, forever. • REPEAT 2–10× — loop any clip back-to-back, as many times as you like. • BOOMERANG — play it forward, then reversed, for that classic bouncing loop. • FULL QUALITY — export at the original resolution, with no watermark. • SAVE & SHARE — straight to Photos, to Files, or to any app. • 100% PRIVATE — everything happens on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded. • NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION — pay once. No weekly fee, no ad before every export. Perfect for jumps and mid-air moments, confetti bursts, pets shaking off water, dance moves, product shots, and anything worth watching again and again. Note: boomerangs are exported without sound, so the bounce stays smooth. The app tells you whenever this happens. Repeat loops keep the original audio. Pick a video, choose Repeat or Boomerang, save. Done.
