This way you will get different picture effects each time you throw. The smart function that enables the app to recognize and calculate average time for completing the anti-gravity movement according to previous throws.

The app works by utilizing the accelerometer in a Smartphone to determine when best to take the shot. The app can estimate the speed at which the phone is traveling, and automatically click the shutter button at the appropriate time. The app also adapts after repeated use, calculating the average time it took for the camera to complete its journey over its previous five throws.

Nevertheless, even if you are capturing the picture at your own risk while risking the breakage of your Smartphone you still will win a hands up from people who have same old boring profile picture on their Facebook profile.
