My phone is always attached to me, it’s kind of insane how we grew so dependent of our cellphones, especially since smart phones came out haha i can never go back to a normal phone again, with all the great apps out there! These are a list of my favorite iPhone Apps lately that i love to use all the time.
Instagram: If you don’t have it, well you’re missing out! It’s just like twitter but just with photos, it’s total eye candy to look at daily and keeps you entertained! Plus it has tons of cool filters to change the look of your photos and there are also websites where you can order your instagrams to be printed just like i blogged about here!
Day One: I am all about nice clean interfaces that are organized and i love to keep digital journals either in my phone, blog, or laptop and i came to find out about this app around January. It has such a nice clean interface, you can document daily entries either on your mac or your cell phone and sync between devices. I love to use this with everyday journaling for my project life albums and blog entires i have at the top of my head that i may want to draft while i am busy on the go. Soon they should be coming with the feature to attach photos as well. Currently this is not offered on PC’s, but I believe hopefully soon they will.
Waze: Talk about a good GPS. It’s a community inside a GPS with talk directions, people alerting you on close by traffic or cops it’s very convenient than your normal iphone maps app. You can pretty much “outsmart” traffic and you see other waze users near you driving along sending alerts as well. Check out their video tour.
My Fitness Pal: Currently i joined this site (because i didn’t want to re-join weight watchers). They give you a nutritional goal of calories and exercises needed to be eaten and burned in order to reach your weight loss goals. It’s the same as weight watchers except not with points instead with calories of course (the old fashioned way), so you track everything you eat, your exercises and wala stay under goal, lose weight! I love it there is an awesome community of people with great success stories and definitely beats the practically $20.00 a month weight watchers charges (don’t get me wrong! I love weight watchers because it works! I just want something free please!) this is a free alternative and it has everything you need in the iPhone app as well, track as you go, chat with the community, oh! and it has tons of food on the database that you can easily add instead of looking or inputing the calories and nutrition info manually all the time, they also have an awesome food scanner.
KeyRing: Do you have tons of key rings for supermarkets, pharmacies or even your department store. Transfer all those little bad boys into this app and once your ready to check out have your cashier scan your phone. Super organized!
These are currently my top 5 iPhone apps, what are yours?! If you know of any good ones let me know i’d love to hear!
So instagram is becoming more and more popular as the days go by, it’s like twitter but with pictures and i honestly love it! Especially for my project life photos. It has a bunch of neat filters and i love how they look like tiny little squares. Adorable in my opinion. Now that i am so glued to this handy little iPhone app i have been looking for things around the web to print them and pretty much use along with the app.
One thing i liked after a long time waiting was being able to see all of your instagram photos on a website. Wala! Now they have Webstagram! You can see all of it on the web at your computer. Which was what i wanted.
Then of course once you take those daily photos you want to obviously showcase them in your home some way. There are two websites which i am currently loving and that is Stickygram which you can take your instagram photos and add them on magnets. Imagine how cute your fridge would look!
One that i love that has pretty much all in one is Printstagram they have everything from tiny minibooks, stickers, posters etc. A complete collection of things that i seriously went crazy ordering! I mean seriously they are geniuses!
If you are just looking for stickers instagoddies or artflakes is a nice site where you can print them into stickers.
There is even an iPhone case with casetagram! Get all those photos on your own customized case.
How about some teeny tiles?! Seriously how cute are these for the bathroom somehow! Or Kitchen!
Or maybe you want them in cute postcards to mail to your family & friends just to say hello! Now that is cute! With postagram you can do this.
I seriously love all the possibilities with these new apps and websites to take your instagram photos to the next level.
Loving this new website called flavors.me i found through Katie. It’s like your own personal homepage where all of your social media sites are all in one place for your visitors to see. So your facebook, flickr, goodreads, etc. are all on your own homepage in a nice layout. This could be your personal homepage if you don’t have a personal website or you can have it just because like me if you have a personal website already! I love it i find it so cool. You only get to have five feeds if you are on a free account but if you want unlimited everything then it’s best to pay $20.00 a year (which i am thinking of doing) so i can have all my social medias added. This is great if you are a social media junkie! You can find my page HERE!
After about three weeks without having any sound on my iPhone it finally came back alive! I was having an issue with it where i was getting no sound, not from the speaker, ringtones nada unless i plugged it into the headphones jack. Well anyway after a while of being this way i decided to do some research ….. just so happens your iPhone is easily prone to dust and dirt which gets in your headphone jack as well as your dock connector and it’s always good to air can blow it all out. So i did just that and wala! My iPhone sound came back to life. You never realize how much your phone sound means to you ….. really! I was going nuts without no sound i was about to switch over to the iPhone4 and i didn’t want to do that because i am waiting for that iPhone5. So of course i am a happy camper right now and just wanted to share my favorite apps at the moment. What i go to mostly daily:
1. Awesome Note: Great for todo lists, note taking etc. With different designs and fonts.
2. Camera+: Very cool app for taking pictures with frames and borders, it improves iPhone photos a bunch.
3. Evernote: Oh my lovely evernote ….. this is like my huge inspo book gone digital, i paste everything in here and i love it! See something on the inet just add to evernote. I am a huge person on todo lists and saving scraps of images and notes i see over the web and instead of printing all of these things i keep them in evernote.
4. Bloglovin: For those of you who don’t know about bloglovin, it’s a cool website where you can keep all your favorite blogs on and everytime there are new posts you are up to date instead of visiting each site daily. But the good thing is that instead of an rss feed you see the whole website so that you feel like you are at the website instead of looking at an rss feed.
5. Instagram: This is a new app i am currently loving and blogged about not so long ago. It’s like a twitter but just with photos and you can post all your images to facebook, twitter, etc.
So that’s pretty much it i hope everyone is having a great day!
Anyone have Instagram?! This is such a fun way to post photos daily and use as a daily image for your 365 projects, project life, etc. Ok, So everyone knows i love to document my photos but sometimes taking daily photos is not always up to par with me. So once i got my hand on this app though through the iPhone i found it fun to take daily photos. I can add different filters and send it to my e-mail, twitter, facebook and even my flickr account. I love this cause it makes taking quick daily photos easier and i can print and document them to my Project Life album later on when i get the chance, and since it has an option to write a description, there goes my journaling thoughts so i can write up later. Love it! If you don’t have it, it’s a must have! Here are some photos i recently added, the quality is not so great on the camera cause i still have the iPhone 3Gs so i am not on the iPhone 4.
Speaking of iPhones do you know mine is completely going on me. My speaker does not work so i don’t hear any sounds while i play games or when calls are coming in or even when i type. I can only hear sounds when i have a headphone in. But i don’t want to upgrade yet cause i want the iPhone5 which who knows when exactly it will be coming out. So should i wait or get the iPhone4? You don’t realize how much you like your phone to make noise untill it’s actually gone.
