The YouCam Mobile application was developed by Cyberlink and offers a photo/video app that replicates much of the functioning of Photo Booth from Apple. The YouCam Mobile app is a great application for Windows 8 tablet users, and it offers fast launch times and many different visual effects that users can experiment with and add to their photos and videos. With YouCam Mobile, users can choose from among a variety of different photo effects, video effects, frames, and filters.

YouCam Mobile can both take photos and record videos, and users can easily switch between these functions with a simple slider control on the top of the screen to the right. Pictures show up in the program's camera roll, and once in the camera roll pictures can be selected for the application of various effects. While YouCam Mobile is great for taking pictures, recording videos, and adding effects, it doesn't do much else. There are no photo editing capabilities built into the app other than the "enhance image" feature offered by clicking on the eye icon on top of the screen to the left.

It's easy to use YouCam Mobile. The app differs in some significant ways from Apple's Photo Booth despite taking inspiration from this popular Apple application. The latest version of YouCam Mobile is YouCam Mobile 5, which was released in March of 2012 and takes up about 957 KB of disk space. This popular photo and video app is great for Windows 8 users who are eager to be able to add effects to their photo and video files. Although some of the app's effects are a bit gimmicky, the app is well designed and user-friendly.
