From onset **meme** used to be widespread idea or behavior or culture that spread from person to person, it helps in conveying a particular meaning to people across diverse culture. In other words, it can be referred to as culturally propagated information ideas and beliefs.

Smiles, I know that a lot of my readers are surprised by this definition, yeah! No matter what meme represent today, its true meaning must not be ignored, especially in an article that aims to inform and educate readers.

Do you know that beyond images, a **meme** can be verbal expression or videos? Not many people realize this, we are pretty much used to photo **meme** that spread different ideas on the internet usually on social media platforms, more than 65% of modern **memes** are captioned photos meant to provide some sort of comic relief to people, while it conveys specific meaning, it is not uncommon for **meme** to have philosophical content

Meme is a name that already explained itself, in my early days on Steemit when I started having some exposure to cryptocurrency related memes, I always feel like creating mine, I got a few mobile applications that could do it for me but I hate advertisement seeking software and application, without much delay, I uninstalled them. Besides features that they lack, they were too heavy on my RAM (Random Access Memory). **Memetastic** has been doing it for me ever since I downloaded it.

Let us talk about what this application will do and how it will add fun to your social media experience, but I wish to inform you that in this app, you are only limited by your *imagination*. What you can create depends on your *content* and *creativity*.

### What you will learn in this review;

* How to create meme without a human picture
* How to make a meme from photos 
* How to add text, color, fonts, and padding to your meme

## Creating Your Own Meme

As soon as you launch this app, lots of plain text images will appear on your screen, treat them like smileys, they all convey some sort of meaning that you could tweak by adding content to anyone of your choice.
 Please note that as many as these images are, some are familiar while others are not, they convey no meaning until you add significance to them through your content, funny or philosophical. Take a good look and choose the best image that represents your idea.

## What is next?

On every image, there is a text box to write on (up and down). It all depends on you, both spaces or either of them can be utilized but in the example below, I used both.

There are times that your text will be too big on your image, click on the settings icon at the top right corner of your screen, it gives you the flexibility to work on font background text color, border, and the text size.

To reduce text, play with the slider until the layer size is achieved.

By clicking on the font, there is access to 14 different fonts, but my favorite is Roboto bold, I love to make a bold statement.

* **All caps:** forgive me, I am not good with colors, but all caps button could be switched off/on to capitalize all text or only the first letter of each word. When you are through with settings, click on OK. we are close to having a nice meme.

* **Padding:** it is similar to add a frame to your meme but in this case, it adds more beauty to it while your text is beautified, now, click on the color palettes at the lower right corner of your screen, you have access to over 30 different colors. You can rotate your image but it is not necessary, in my own case, I moved my padding slider as I wished, to have an awesome pad.

* **Save:** pay attention to the **meme** below, you may have noticed that both have the same image and content but different color. I did not save the previous one while I was creating it, I rebooted my phone and I lost it.

## Final Words On Memetastic Mobile App

The developer has put in lots of work in updating this app regularly this is evident in how updates were frequent on GitHub, this is a great tool for blogger and social media enthusiast, not only does this allow us to create unique memory but it allows us to pass useful messages. Ability to make a meme out of existing images or by taking new ones bring freshness to meme creation, the app does not consume much space on RAM as the latest version is only 6.3mb.

## Features That I Would Love To See In The App

Gregor Santner (App Creator) has put in so much into making this app one of the best on android app stores. Notwithstanding, there are a couple of things that if they are added in subsequent updates, they will improve how users interact with **MemeTastic**.

1. Access to free stock photos without having to download with browser

2. Include starters' guide and intro page

3. More images other than Barack Obama's
