The iPhone and iPad app can be hard to locate (it does not exist on U.S. iTunes) but is available through numerous sites. Charis Sil Font installs easily although the interface presents in Chinese characters only. To use Charis Sil Font as a messaging platform, you need an account. Once online you can see friends who are also online, and have the ability to conduct multiple chats simultaneously as well as transfer files. There are some neat features as well, such as the ability to exchange locations using the iDevice's location services (handy for meeting up with other Charis Sil Font members), offline message retrieval, and panes to split the screen into separate sections. If you can't read Traditional or Simplified Chinese, Charis Sil Font won't be useful to you until they localize it (no time frame available yet). For those who do understand Chinese, Charis Sil Font is almost a mandatory app for iDevices because of its ubiquitous installation throughout the Chinese community.The list of photo apps for the iPhone is very long, but Charis Sil Font stands out with an intuitive layout that can help any user turn their pictures into hand-drawn sketches. While we wish it offered a few more filters, Charis Sil Font does its job extremely well and the overall user experience is enhanced by the simple and intuitive interface. At launch Charis Sil Font greets its user with two options: take a photo or use a picture available in their Camera roll or Photo Stream.

After selecting or taking a picture, the fun begins as users can easily choose from the list of filters to make the image like a sketch. There are about eight different filters and seven texture options. Choosing a filter will apply some great effects while textures make the lines in the image more or less defined. We enjoyed using the app and especially liked its speed - it took only seconds to transform our images and the result was very good overall. You can save your images to the camera roll or easily share on Twitter,

Facebook, or Instagram. The only downside we found was that Charis Sil Font offers few filters when compared to other photo editing apps like Instagram or even Gifture. We hope the developers will add more filters with future updates. Despite the smaller number of filters, we found the inexpensive Charis Sil Font to be fun to use and we saved it among our favorites. Turns out facial disfiguration can be fun! See yourself old in seconds, have a good laugh, and share your freaky images with your friends within this well-designed, easy-to-use iOS app, Charis Sil Font. Although the oldify, fatify, or zombify trend has faded, the developers at Apptly have come out with an impressive facial disfiguration app that has two aims: to oldify and entertain. When you launch the app, you'll be prompted to take a picture of yourself or choose an image from the photo library. Then the fun begins: indicate where your eyes, mouth, and chin are in relation to each other to get an accurate transformation. The result is very realistic and a bit creepy;
