While [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-edits) is a notoriously neat photo app and Vine is an equally popular video app, Pixengo fuses the best of both worlds together to create a free photo app that allows you to add a sound clip to any still image.

A clever way to enhance the viewer's experience with a photograph, Pixengo lets the photographer take a photo and [add voice recordings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voice-memos-app), sound bites and even music to complement the still image. How it works is after a picture is conventionally taken, you simply press down on the image and record 30 seconds worth of audio and volia, you're done. You can even go back and [add audio to the pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animate-old-photos) you already have in your album. A great way to capture feelings, emotions and memories, the Pixengo photo app truly lives up to the motto "a picture is worth a thousand words."
