And one of the obvious best parts about it? The apps! So today I thought I would share some of my favorite apps with all of you- and let me know if you have some favorites too!
1) Diptic
Diptic lets you take images from your photo library and combine them to make collages. I usually then process them via Instagram (my most favorite app), which I'll talk about in a second! Here are two examples of collages I made in Diptic the other day. Love this app!
2) Instagram
This app is all over my blog, and with good reason. I love it! It's another little community, which is always fun (find me: danihampton), and it's neat to see everyone else's photos too. It's super easy to use; all you do is upload a photo, choose from one of the many filters, and wa-la! New, pretty photo!
3) Kindle
This is a must-have app for me because I adore my big Kindle, and this is just a mini-version of it so I can read wherever I am with ease. It syncs from your main device, and you can also download straight to your phone. There have been so many times where I am waiting in the doctor's office, in the car, etc. that I've used this great app. It basically means you always have your books with you whenever you go! Awesome.
4) Netflix
BEST THING EVER! This app makes it possible to watch any of the instant play options right on your phone. Super handy for the gym or again, if you get stuck waiting somewhere.
5) ShakeItPhoto
ShakeItPhoto is a fun app that turns your photos into little polaroids- you even shake your phone to process the image! I love the crisp white border and the look of these photos!
Other apps I love: 8mm movie (just got this one), Tumblr, Pandora, and Pocketbooth!
Do you have any favorite that weren't listed here?



Pocketbooth, camera bag, photo folder,and Gilt groupe :)
ReplyDeleteI really want an Iphone when I next upgrade, mostly for the cool apps! I love the instagram, shake it, and also mostly I want it for the PETA app, that you can search up products, before you buy to know if they are cruelty free, etc..that would be really handy!

Love those apps! Cartolina is really cute too, it has cute designs for e-cards. Also pocketbooth is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh you're making me jealous! I've always wanted an iPhone. I just don't have the money for the data plans. So I'm going with an android for now. Hopefully by the end of the year though I can join the iPhone train! =P
ReplyDeleteThe Sweetest Life♥
You listed some of my favorite apps up there. One of my favorite is MyFitnessPal, because it's a super easy way to track my exercise/calories.
ReplyDeleteThe iphone has so many amazing photo apps, it's overwhelming!
ok, i JUST got an ipod touch today at my doorstep and i was curious what apps to download. I did get the Kindle and Netflix app, and I love the Feather Report so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm such an Android nerd, but after realizing i use my mac, ipod, and now this ipod touch, i'm realizing i may take the plunge!
instagram, pandora, GROUPON!!!!, yelp, southwest DING, and my most entertaining = FML. Seriously, if you're ever having a bad day, read FML and it will make you not feel so bad. they are freaking hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI have two pages of JUST camera apps. I really like 360. It allows you to take a 360 photo. SO COOL!
ReplyDeleteIncredibooth. Angry Birds. Damn You Auto Correct. Cut the Rope. Etsy Addict. Groupon. Osfoora (Twitter). Smart Hands (Baby sign language). US Weekly. Yelp.
=]
I love my iPhone. So. Much.
thank you for allowing me to geek out and express my love for my phone:
ReplyDeletehipstamatic + instagram -> fun photos
8mm -> old timey videos
dragon dictation -> turn voice into text
fb + twitter (hootsuite or twitbird) -> social media
evernote -> note taking (voice, photo, text) that syncs with your computer
find iphone -> to locate your phone if lost or stolen
pandora -> personalized music mix by artist/genre
shazam -> identify songs that you don't recognize
google -> voice search feature is cool
bad, bad post... i'm so desperately wanting an iphone. i just can't afford one. when you're a student you have to choose between investing in tattoos or things you need for survival...
ReplyDeleteand actually your instagram pics made me think of getting an iphone for the very first time. :)
I love Hipstamatic and just got ShakeItPhoto - can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the suggestions! x
ReplyDeleteI'm so desperate for an iphone but have to wait for a upgrade in november! I've had a blackberry for years and it's so disappointing that they are so far behind! There's hardly any cool apps available and the internet is rubbish! I'll be converting! X
ReplyDeleteThese aren't photo ones but I love them anyway:
ReplyDelete- Skype = I'm in a long distance relationship so this app has saved me so much money on phone calls!
- WhatsApp = like Blackberry Messenger but this connects to all Android and Smartphones. My bf has a BB and I have an iPhone and we use this to message each other a lot.
- Jamie Oliver recipes = great if you want to make something fast.
- ShopListFree = this shopping list app is wonderful and lets you tick things off as you go around the store so you don't have to rummage in your bag for a pen to cross things off anymore!
It's like this post was written for me...I just got my iPhone Tuesday, and I want to become Mrs. iPhone...I'm head over heels in loooooove. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, mama!

- WhiteNoise (for travel)
- Pandora, Public Radio

- KidsDoc and Total Baby (for the littles)

I just got my new Verizon iPhone a few days ago and I has changed my world haha. This is a great post for me because I'm so new to the iPhone world. Yesterday I blogged about one of my favorite apps.

Ahh! You have me missing mine so badly! We had to switch to Sprint when we got stationed here because AT&T doesn't get reception here for anything - and obviously they weren't available with Verizon yet. I love all of your phone photos - and I can't get over how adorable Henry is. I think he's a perfect blend of the both of you!
ReplyDeletegreat post! I am loving all these suggestions and am loading up my new phone now.
ReplyDeleteHipstamatic is my favorite camera app.
ReplyDeleteI love PictureShow the most out of all the camera apps I have, and TumblrGear is a good tumblr app for reading and rebounding your dash (Tumblr for iPhone let's you post, but I don't like it as much).
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Instagram!!!!!! My new favorite app! I just started following yours!:) Mine will be tinod
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the diptic idea! Love collages!

ReplyDeleteI have a question about Netflix... how does streaming on your phone work with you using up your GBs of your data plan? Can you really watch movies that way without using all of your monmthly plan up???
