Bitstrips Shoots To #1 Spot on the App Store

If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed those comic strip characters and animated avatars that have seem to become all the rage as of late. Having recently shot to the no. 1 spot on the App Store, it got me curious to figure out what exactly makes Bitstrips so popular. Suffice it to say, I’m hooked!

In a nutshell, Bitstrips essentially gives you free reign when it comes to designing cartoon versions of yourself and your friends. At present, only users who have Facebook accounts can use the app but the developers are working on a version that will be less exclusive. Once you’re signed onto Facebook, the app directs you to a panel where you can fully customize what your avatar will look like: from face shape to eye color to eye length to skin tone to nose shape to wardrobe choices and more, this is probably one of the most engaging parts of the app!

The next part is where the real fun begins! Now you can create any scenario you can think of involving your friends and make it come to life via a comic strip. Whether you are looking to make your friends mad, play a prank on them, or simply put a smile on their faces, it’s all possible with Bitstrips!

Once you are ready to create your perfect and personalized comic strip, what is the next step? Well, you can choose to share your avatar and let everybody in your Facebook network what exactly you’re feeling at the moment. Or, you can opt to include a friend in your comic strip who has also downloaded the app on their phone, desktop or iPad and amuse yourself by brainstorming for the scenario that will surely knock the socks off your network whether through the funny facial expression on the avatar’s face or the witty lines. What are you waiting for? Download the app and see what all the fuss is about!
