It’s no surprise how much I love Instagram but today, I thought I would share with you a few of the Apps that are the TeSelle favs right now:
1. PicTapGo :: definitely worth $1.99! take your Pic, Tap {choose your filter with the option of layering several filters} & Go {share via the social media platform of your choice!} This app also allows you to post to Instagram full frame like the picture above. AND p.s. In their next update they will be adding a Cropping/rotating/straightening option.
2. Cozi :: We use this exclusively for the grocery list option. Since we have 4 iPhone users in this house, this is a fabulous way for us to add to the grocery list. Gunnar needs deodorant, he grabs his phone, opens up Cozi & adds it to the grocery list. Greg wants hamburger helper for dinner this week, he adds it to the list. It instantly syncs with the other phones. How is this useful? When I’m at the store, I know what our family needs just by checking Cozi. When Greg is on his way home from work & offers to stop by the store for groceries, he doesn’t need to ask for me to text him the list. I just say, “check Cozi”! Also, if the kids complain that they are missing something in the pantry of if they are out of soap or socks, all I have to ask is “Did you put it on Cozi?” There are other great things about this app that are very useful (calendar, to do lists, etc.) too but for right now, we only use it for the grocery list.
3. Netflix :: this isn’t a new App but it has quickly become a favorite at our house. The kids can watch their favorite shows {& mom too}. You have to have a Netflix account & we have the online streaming that we can access on our iPhones as well as our Apple TV. A big plus for me – there’s a Parental Control setting that allows you to block “mature” titles.
4. Walgreens :: again, not a new App BUT with their most recent update last week, now you can print your photos from Instagram with their Quick Prints option. Upload your pics & pick them up in an hour. Love this!! They come in size 4×4 right now, but maybe they’ll offer different sizes in the future?? The quality is great too!
5. Flickr :: their latest update allows you to add a hashtag to your photos & instantly see all the photos related to that hashtag. Do you have a Flickr account? I do! Find me here & let’s be friends. The people who I follow on Flickr are the ones that I go to for my photography inspiration. Who’s inspiring me now :: Justine Gordon, White Peach Photography, K_W Daddio & jeffconlin.
6. Minecraft :: for those rainy, snowy or bitter cold days this winter {& hello, it’s the 1st day of Spring & it’s 10 degrees outside!}, our kids have enjoyed playing this game together. I personally do not understand the fascination, but they are virtually building & destroying & building & enjoying this game.
7. Stack the States :: the geography nerd inside of me loves this educational game. You answer various trivia questions about the capitals, flags, shapes, etc. to earn more levels.
What are your favorite Apps right now?
