Frontback for Android is a free app for Android devices which lets you take photos using the front and back camera and then combine it to a single collage. In this manner you can add context to those selfies. Previously this app was only available on iOS devices. Now Frontback comes to Android. This app is meant to capture two pictures: one of the subject and the other one of your face, and then combine them.
There seems to be a flood of interesting camera apps in Google Play store. Earlier we covered the very interesting Whistle Camera app for taking selfies by whistling, then Google came out with Google Camera App, and now we have this another interesting app that lets you take photos from both front and back camera “almost” together, to create nice selfies.
