Photo Drop is a very cool prank which resembles the Newton Virus prank for Mac. Photo Drop succeeds in its main goal (making your apps fall and move with gravity), but it doesn't exceed in anything other than that.
Basically, Photo Drop allows you to select a photo
(from the photo library). Then, when you touch the screen, square pieces of the photo drop. Then, after this, it is more of a game. You have to tilt the device to get the pieces back in their spots. The pieces cannot travel through each other so you have to plan which piece to put back first. You can tap and piece to unattach it.
This app is best used with the home screen. Give your device to a friend to use. Then, when they tap the screen, all the apps will fall. They can tip it and the apps react.
The game is fun but kind of irritating. Even when pieces are put back, you can not move over then. I think there should be an option that makes the unattached apps able to travel through the attached apps. Also, the game only makes the first 15 icons move. The icon in the bottom right stays put. The game should allow you to select how many icon you have.
Photo Drop is a fun prank, but besides that, I don't see much use for it. When you use it with normal photos, which it provides, the effect looks very bad. I think it should allow you to chose what will fall in the photo and keep the homescreen selection as a template. It would also be nice to have a template for the iPhone calculator, portrait and landscape.
The app also has a few problems. Sometimes, a app or two get lost off the screen, making the game unbeatable. Also, sometimes an app gets stuck between two others. You can fix this by tapping one of the other apps to make them both fall.
Even with the problems, this app is really fun to use to prank friends.
