10 iPhone Apps You Must Get (Part 2)

Here's the list continued.

7. Dropbox – www.dropbox.com

Dropbox is simply an online storage solution. You can use it to share files between your iphone, ipad, and computer. I utilize dropbox quite a bit at work for sharing files between computers or sharing with coworkers. You can find out more about this tool at www.dropbox.com

6. Instagram – www.instagram.com

Instagram is another social networking app, but what makes this one a little different is that it is strictly for sharing photos. You can follow your friends, celebrities, and pretty much anyone else you want. For all the photos you share, you have the choice of adding a variety (about 19) of filters to edit your photo before you share. You can also connect to other social networks like twitter and facebook and automatically share your photos on there as well. You can find me at www.instagram.com/loveloud or @loveloud.

5. Flow - http://www.getflow.com

Flow is  a to-do app that allows you to create tasks and split them up into categories (for example, work, personal, grocery…), set due dates, and check them off once they are completed. There are many great to-do lists apps out there but I prefer to use Flow because there is also an app for macs and I can update/add tasks from my computer too.

4. Fancy - http://www.thefancy.com

Fancy is just an app that has all kinds of cool things on them. From furniture to technology accessories to just about anything you could imagine, you just might see on fancy. As they put it, “Discover amazing stuff, collect the things you love, buy it all in one place.”

10 iPhone Apps You Must Get (Part 1)

I’ve been asked many times by friends and family who are new iPhone/iPad owners what are some must-have apps to download for their new devices. So below are some of my must-have apps that I find very useful.

10. Flipboard

Flipboard is an application that takes blog post from your favorite blog and puts it in a magazine style format. Cosmetically it looks best on the iPad but the iPhone app still allows you to see a picture from the post, the title, and a short summary of the article.

9. Yelp

With yelp you can restaurants, stores, gas stations, and pretty much whatever you are looking for. You can search a certain area you are looking to go to or simply press “nearby” and find everything that’s near your location. Most searches also, provide hours, reviews, contact information, and directions.

8. Amazon

When it comes to online shopping, Amazon is tough to beat. They have just about everything and the prices are very competitive. The app makes it easy to find the product you are looking for and purchase it quickly and conveniently. 

Here's 3 of my top 10, what are your must-haves?

Money Can't Buy Creativity

With the passing of the Super Bowl, it is a reminder that money cannot buy creativity. Millions of people watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. And while millions are spent on those commercials, some were very entertaining and some seemed very out of place. Out of place meaning they did not live up to my expectations and were worth not worth the money it took to produce and air and they were not very creative at all. But that is a reminder that money can’t buy creativity. Money can definitely help produce great finished products, but it can’t buy creativity.
