Thing #23- Art
Paper.
I tried to locate the app in the appstore, but gave up looking for it. :/
Forge the Neon.
So I downloaded this app, it seemed like it had promise, but even with playing around, it seems more like something to make for a five year old to keep busy than something that I would want to create on a normal basis. I liked that you could change the colors, but wish I could do so much more with this app than what it allows you to do. I wish I could just draw straight lines and create my own shapes and everything rather than have most of it down for me.
Thing # 22- Languages
Duolingo.
I am obsessed with this now! I had it on my phone a long time ago to learn Italian, but never kept up with it, not I am trying to brush up on my Spanish and I am surprised by the amount of things I can do. I want to be able to speak to Lynsey in Spanish, while she is in school taking classes. I think I may be hooked on doing a section a day now, so thanks for including this. I like that it has a written portion, hearing portion, and a matching portion, which makes you have to work on all different levels. I definitely recommend headphones when doing this one though!
Thing #21- CCPL
CCPL Mobile ‘App’.
For being such an Apple nerd and feeling like I have a good hold on my phone, I love this feature! I feel like I am constantly getting on the library’s website from my phone, whether it be to look for a book or to look at the children’s programming for Charlotte, this will be much nice to have than having to type in the website all of the time. I also like that it doesn’t take up as much memory space as a normal app would. I will definitely be using this in the future!
Thing #20- Email
Mail.
I love that my phone has the built in email feature. I constantly use it to keep up with my normal everyday life and work life. It has become a big savior as of late because I take pictures on my phone and then email them to myself so that I can use an online photo editor to get them in top shape for posting. Sometimes my mail disappears, but it always comes back. I have multiple email accounts, so to be able to maneuver between them fairly easily is fantastic!
Thing #19- Communicating
Snapchat.
I LOVE Snapchat! It’s great for when I want to send a photo quickly that doesn’t need to be saved. I often use it when I am at the store and buying things for my wife and I can’t figure out if its this one or that, so I send her a quick snapchat and she can tell me right away. I love that you can have a story on your feed so that anyone that has you as a friend can see what you want them to see, and I also love the new feature where you can see who exactly views your story. The one major downfall to snapchat is the fact that you can take a screenshot of someone’s picture. They at least tell you when someone takes a screenshot, but it doesn’t combat that the picture was taken. Obviously, I really don’t have an issue with that, but for some people it’s a major deal.
Thing #18- Calendars
Built-In IOS.
I don’t use this function of my phone all too often, however it is useful and relatively simple to use. The only time I use it is when I am scheduling my haircut and need to see a date and then I enter it into the calendar so I don’t forget. I like the feature where you can see the calendar in many different ways, as the month, year, or years. The reminder function for the events you create are also very nice. I also like that it is just built in because then I do not have to worry about the space it takes up on my phone.
Thing #17- File Sharing and Cloud Storage
GoogleDrive.
GoogleDrive is a life safer...pretty much literally! My computer’s hard drive was crashing and I didn’t have the money to go and buy an external hard drive to transfer all of the most important files. Luckily for me, there was GoogleDrive. I created a few different google accounts since you are only given a small amount of storage for free, but it works great and I can access all of the documents, pictures, and videos anywhere. It is super easy to upload as well.
