This is the second part of my favorite apps. Once again if I don't mention an app, it doesn't mean I don't like it. It just means it's not my favorite go-to app that I must have or I will die.
- YouTube; Every night I use this app to watch all the videos from my subscriptions. I would probably die without this app.
- Pinterest; This is how I pin stuff 99% of the time. Whenever I'm bored I'll just go on Pintereest and look for things for #pinterestsunday
- Bloglovin'; Without this app I would never be able to follow all my favorite blogs. I'm way to lazy to go look at every single blog and this just puts it right in front of me.
- Blogger; My key to blogging on the go. Without this, I wouldn't be able to blog anything if I wasn't at home.
- Capture; This is my key to video sharing. This is basically how I upload some of my little clips to YouTube. I haven't really upload much yet, but this is how I'll be uploading my videos on vacation.
- PicLab; I would die without this thing. I use this to edit every single picture I take on my phone. I would not be able to survive if I didn't have this app helping me edit.
Today I have 4 apps. 2 of them are re-downloads.
- Keek; This is one of my re-downloads. The app is really good, I just don't find myself using it. I never post any videos. Maybe I will now since it's summer and I'll be going on vacation but so far I'm not using. However, I do recommend it for people who are also taking pictures and videos with their phones.
- Bird Zapper; This was the app of the week, last week. The game is kind of weird. You have a choice of ways you can play. Single player or multiplayer, battle or race, and 3,4, or 5 rows. Like every other game the object is to win/beat your opponent. What you want to do is create groups of 3 or more birds and slice through it with your finger. The hard part is the rows keep moving and at different speeds. It's actually quite entertaining.
- Pocket; I first came across this app when I downloaded to for my mac. It comes in handy. I always end up bookmarking things when I don't have time to read them. Now I can just mark them with this app and come back to the later. It also works in conjunction with other apps, like Twitter. And you can email links to your account. I will be using this forever.
- Tapped Out; If you couldn't tell from the picture, this is a Simpson's game. It's kind of like all those other games where you build your own city. Basically, you have to rebuild the Simpson's world. This is the other one of my re-downloads. I found the first time I didn't really play it much, but now I play it all the time, especially since I'm out of school and have nothing better to do.
I don't have that many new apps this week. In fact I only have three. I just couldn't find that many apps that I wanted to download.
- Snoopy Coaster; This was last weeks featured app. Now I am a sucker for Snoopy and all of his friends so I had to download it. I wasn't sure I was going to like the game at first, but now I kind of do. It's not my favorite game but it's still fun. You get to take Snoopy and his friends on a roller coaster. On your way, you collect power ups and coins and try to hit balloons and kites. You have to jump from one track to the other, so try not to fall off.
- SongKick; Songkick is a great concert app. It scans the music on your phone and tracks the artists so you know when they have a concert. I think it's great, especially since I want to go to more concerts with my friends.
- EverPlaces; So this is going to be my first bad review. I actually was unable to try this app. Every time I tried to open it, the app would just close. So unfortunately I guess this is my review.
- FxCamera; I wasn't too impressed with this app. It's a photo editing app. They have pretty basic filters. I already have similar ones on other apps. The one original thing this app does is voice pictures. I really have no use for those, nor do I want them. So I'm probably going to delete this app.
- Camera Bag; Another photo editing app. Once again I'm not that impressed. This one does have a few different filters that I don't already have, so I will probably keep it. Unlike the other app, the only thing this app has is filters.
- Viddy; I have finally found a video sharing app! As I mentioned last week, I was looking for a video sharing app for my road trip. (More information to come!) I really like this one because it has different filters and you can add music. I haven't posted again yet, but I will share it once I do. I think this might be better than Keek, but I 'll probably download Keek again and just upload my videos from viddy.
- Capture; This is YouTube's video sharing app. It makes it easier to upload videos to YouTube. I will probably be using this on my trip too. I've also used it already, so check out my videos on my account: TakeMeToSomeday.
- 30/30; This app is amazing for time management. It's like a timer that you can customize. You get to create personal lists of activities and select how long you want to do each activity. The great thing is that it keeps repeating the lists until you stop it, so you don't have to keep reseting it. I use it for studying and running. (20 minutes of studying + 5 minute break and 10 minutes of running + 1 minute break)
- Nook; I've had this app before, but I've never downloaded any books before. Now that it's summer I thought I would read more, so I've downloaded this app. It's a great, basic reading app. The only thing I don't like about it is I can't reach the Nook store from the app.
- Bookstore; I downloaded this app for the same reason as the Nook app. I was a little disappointed that I have to leave the app to download eBooks, which is the main reason I downloaded this app. I will most likely delete this app.
Sorry this post was mostly apps I didn't like. There aren't that many new apps that I like. If you have any new apps you think I should try feel free to leave them in the comments.
So as you can see from my picture, I have a few more apps than usual this week. I kind of went on an "app shopping spree" last night. That being said, I probably won't be going on too much about one app. But if you are interested in the app or would like to learn more, you can search iTunes, or just ask me on Twitter or in the comments for more information.
- PicLab: This is the app I used to edit the picture above with. So far it's pretty great. It kind of reminds me of the A Beautiful Mess app, without the doodles or sayings. I love the selection of fonts they have, and they're frames and filters look amazing! If you are looking for a great free photo app, I recommend this one.
- PopAGraph: This app is supposed to help make your part of your photos pop out. For example, if you wanted a picture of you to be in color, but you wanted the background behind you to be black and white. Honestly, I tried it out and I don't think it works as well as I thought it would. Maybe you guys would like it, but for me, I think I'm going to delete this app.
- Gipis: Another fitness app. You guys are probably getting tired of reading about all me fitness apps. This one helps you to run a marathon. There are different length setting, (5k, 1/2 marathon, marathon, etc.) so you can customize your workout to the length you would like to run. I will probably be talking about this more in later posts, especially my new fitness routine next month. And for all you who want to run a marathon, or just want to be better runners, this is the BEST app for you.
- Fitocracy: My last fitness app for today. I wasn't really impressed by it. Though if you have a gym you go to, (I don't) you might like it better. This app gives you challenges to do, most of which are either running or gym workouts. For every challenge you complete you get more points. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed and this is another app I will probably delete.
- Vine: I feel like once again I'm the last one to try this app. The reason I downloaded this was because of this vine clip here. (Its of Josh Peck, and its amazing) But I don't like it as much as everyone else. Maybe it's just because I don't know how to use it. I also deleted my keek but I think I might re-download it. I'm trying to find a good app for short video clips for my upcoming road trip. If you have any suggestions let me know.
- On The Road: This is the Food Network app for all the restaurants featured on their shows. I downloaded this for my road trip so I would have some new restaurants to try. I think it's a good app, but it was a little slow to load. I don't know if it was because it was my first time opening the app, if it was my internet connection, or if it was just the app. Hopefully, it will be faster, but for the most part it's a good app.
- Roadtrippers: Another app I downloaded for my road trip. I have to say it's a kind of a good app, but only if you are in the location you're searching. I was trying to search for things to do when I got to my destination, but it wasn't very productive. It's great if you are trying to find things to do around you, but I don't know if it's for me.
- UltraViolet: I consider this to be a must have for everyone during the summer, especially if you are going to be outside a lot or on vacation. It lets you now UV index at your location. This way you know what measures to take to protect your skin. I will definitely be using this all summer.
- Candy Crush: This game is very addictive. I ended up playing it to help my mom get past a level and then I had to go downloaded my own. What you have to do is you match up "candies" to get 3, 4, or 5 in a row. Then you just have complete the requirement the give you for that level.
- Angry Birds: This app requires little explantation because everyone already knows what it is. This is the space version of the original one, and as you can see, I haven't opened the app yet. I assume it's as good as the other ones. But right now it's the featured game in iTunes, which means it's free! So go download it now!
- Tetris Blitz: A very addictive game. This is like regular Tetris but you only have 2 minutes to clear as many rows as you can. You get coins to buy power ups. It's so much fun. It's great to play if you're waiting for someone. I definitely recommend it.
