48 Apps for Autistics and ADHD’ers (Part 2)

Every needs to know of this lovely app:

It's called Finch and it helps you get tasks done by nurturing this bird! The more tasks you do, the more it grows! You can make currency through doing tasks and completing journeys (you go on a journey every day!). You can use that currency to buy clothes and decorations for the room they stay in! As you grow your lil birdie, more and more stuff unlocks that you can do!

Now it's a free app and you can do a lot with it, even with the free version! If you want extra stuff, though, you can get a subscription (you can either pay for a full year up-front or you can do a monthly subscription, which is what I have! My subscription costs me $9.99 a month). However, that's completely optional.

It's really fun and I know that my new ADHD meds are helping, but this app has just intensified them and it really helps. It gives you options for tasks to do, different "journeys" you can do that you can group an amount of tasks together and once you do them for a so many days you get a prize. It doesn't punish you for not getting things done; it actually gives you the option to reflect on why you didn't get it done and get you thinking about what's bothering you.

It has multiple prompts that ask you about how your feelings about things, gives you exercises to do whenever you're in distress or sad or anxious (breathing exercises, grounding exercises, prompts to reflect or rant about upsetting things, etc.), and also keeps track of your mood throughout the day!

It's just such a sweet app and, while I've only had it for about 7 days now, I'm loving it more and more everyday!

A little tip for all artists (or anyone who just wants to create a whumpee character).

There's this app called 'Magic Poser' where you can put one or more figures into any pose you like.

You can also give them different hair styles, clothes, furnitures or weapon (You have to pay for those. There are also different models. The basic models and a few hair styles are free though.)

This can be really helpful for drawing poses.

So, go crazy if you want. Show me some of your whumpy poses.😉

University Apps

Hi guys, so I’m starting university next week and I’m in full-on prep mode for that (and I’m kinda low key excited to start my first year).

However, I was wondering if any of you have any apps (phone or computer) that you can recommend (preferably free ones, but I’m willing to pay a one time fee if it’s worth it :D).

For those of you stuck in the same boat as me, I figured I’d make a list of some good ones I’ve used for high school and found for uni:

Lost on Campus: this might just be for Australian’s, but it basically has maps of multiple unis and shows room, food, lecture hall, etc. locations - super helpful

Forest (or a free version I found called Flora): super good to help you stop using your phone while studying or to just keep track of how much study you’ve done. Bonus: you get points, allowing you to grow a real tree in a developing country - I used this all throughout high school, it’s amazing

A soft murmur: it’s practically a whitenoise machine, however, you can do rain, thunder, etc. I don’t particularly find that this helps me concentrate, but it helps me feel calm when doing mindless homework tasks

Student discount apps: (some of these might be Australian exclusive) Studentbeans, Student edge, and UNiDAYS

MyHomework: Allows you to store your timetable and keep track of homework and assessments. I used to use this app in the early days of high school (before my high school created a website for students that had our timetables on it). It’s a little more difficult to use for uni, though, because all classes you input occur in the exact same location for each day and time

Alternately to myHomework, I’m now trying out two different apps - Pocket Schedule Planner and My Study Life

Ooh, this one is a bonus (I actually didn’t even think about it), it’s called The Podcast App - Podcasts: it contains a bunch of different free podcasts, ranging from true crime to fitness to cars, it’s my favourite app

Helpful apps I use almost everyday!

I am not the type of person who likes to bombard her phone with different applications. Aside from the fact that my phone is only 32 GB which makes me space-conscious, I am also the type of person who uses what is useful so when I install a certain application, I always make sure that it helps me or I use it.

Since I love trying out different things and styles, I often make an effort when I post my Instagram Stories! I even received a lot of messages on my curious-cat account asking what applications I use in my  Stories, some ask my best friend to ask me what I use! (I know, I know! it’s crazy!) thus I decided to make a blog about the applications I use on my phone, not just in the field of photo editing but also in the field of education, entertainment, and etcetera!

E D U C A T I O N A L 

1. Meriam Webster Dictionary 

I guess everyone has this app. I like this one more than Oxford because it has educational games which help me during my leisure time or when I just want to kill time.

2. Class Up

This app helps students manage classes, track their tasks/assignments, jot down notes. They can also communicate with their classmates. You can make and organize your class schedule here, customize it with your desired color and apply your favorite wall-paper and screenshot it and make it as your home or lock screen

3. MS Word

A portable Microsoft Word Office. This app helps me a lot mostly in school. MS Word in the phone works just like the MS Word on the computer! Plus, you can send your document to Facebook Messenger directly! 

4. Reminders, Notes

These are note-taking applications that are already installed on smartphones. I used these to keep me on track of the things that should be done. I also jot down my plans on Notes.

5. 365 Gratitude

This is an e-journal where you take note of what happened in your day. It’s essential especially to people like me who love to write about her day and read it in the future. 

6. Tiny Decisions

This is an app that makes making decisions fun and easy. It's like a wheel of fortune where instead of prizes, what is written are your choices! Just input your choices, spin the wheel and you get a random result. 

P H O T O S  A N D  V I D E O S

7. RNI Films

Familiar with Afterlight’s dusty effect? It’s also on RNI Films, you can choose over 5 (or more?) types of dust effect. It also has some vintage and retro filters.

8. Adobe Lightroom

If you are new to Lightroom, you may find it complicated or hard to adjust your photo thus I recommend using presets. There are a lot of free presets on Google and Pinterest. I can also give you some if you want! Just message me.

9. Unfold

This is useful for creating Instagram stories. I use this a lot because it is subtle and minimal, with no loud fonts, just right to my taste.

10. PicsArt

A photo editing app where I usually edit (Instagram Stories, Collage, etc). Familiar with Afterlight’s polaroid frames and flares? you can do it on PicsArt too, plus it’s free, unlike Afterlight. 

11. VSCO

Everyone knows about this. I personally love VSCO Cam and I prefer this more than Afterlight because it’s easy to access, edit and user-friendly. Its filters are calm, unlike other filters from editing apps.

12. VCUS

If you are into montage making for your vlogs or you just want to make a montage for your Instagram and facebook stories, I recommend this app. It has cool transitions and it automatically edits your videos.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T, E T C.

13. WeSing

I love singing so much to the point that it made me download WeSing! I love this app because aside from the fact that it allows me to do mini karaoke, it allows me also to interact and have a duet with my Facebook friends.

14. Pinterest

If artists drink coffee to fuel their energy, then I have Pinterest to fuel my creative juices. 

15. Shopback

If you are into online shopping- Lazada, Shopee, Zalora or you use Food Panda or any delivery application, I encourage you to install Shopback. It gives you rebates from your online shopping. 

Note:  Some applications are not available in Android but I believe there are a lot of alternatives in the Google Play Store.
