Putting on a LiveCode workshop here in Plymouth, UK where the topic will be creating an iOS/Android app that allows participants to take photos of their friends, deface them and then send them the ‘enhanced’ photos http://www.meetup.com/The-THINQTANQ-Events-Meetups-and-More-in-Plymouth/events/226749341/ <http://www.meetup.com/The-THINQTANQ-Events-Meetups-and-More-in-Plymouth/events/226749341/>

I would be tempted to tweak the description of this project - it sounds 
a bit like a "play" app, when in fact it could also be a very useful app.

Last week I needed to describe to someone staying in my flat (the other 
side of the country) how to dismantle something (a slightly complex 
electric wheelchair which can then be folded/collapsed for transport). 
It was hard to describe (or indeed remember) exactly which parts had to 
be twisted which way in which order; in the end I got him to send me a 
photo, marked it up on my computer and sent it back to  him. Then I 
could say things like "turn the black knobs marked 'A' outwards", "slide 
the battery back and up through gap 'C'", etc.

I suspect this app you are developing would have made it possible / easy 
to do this with just our phones.
And that might make it sound like a more "serious" app to some people.
