We have been writing this blog for a few years now and there are some posts that despite being published years ago, still remain among the most popular Appboy articles of all time. My initial review of Instagram is one such post.
While Jobs might not be the biggest fan of Adobe products on iOS devices, Adobe has been pushing the envelope lately on innovation and their latest, Adobe Carousel is no different.
Yes yes, we have all heard the numbers and they are ridiculous. The only thing 450,000 iOS apps give me as a consumer is a whole lot of confusion, especially in light of the fact that no company has really cracked the app discovery challenge. There are so many iOS apps out there, a new iPhone user literally does not know where to start.
I take a lot of photos with my iPhone 4. According the latest numbers from the popular photo sharing site Flickr, I am not alone either. The iPhone 4 is on the verge of becoming the most used camera for pics taken and shared on Flickr and lets be honest, that is pretty cool. Not only does the iPhone 4 take some very nice pictures with it’s built in HDR filter but there are literally thousands of camera apps to help take your pics to the next level. Some of these apps are designed for a professional looking touch and others, well, they’re just for fun. Today we are going to check out one of these fun apps, Tap ‘n Cap for iPhone. For anyone looking to add a simple caption to a photo in a creative and fun way Tap ‘n Cap may just be the app for you, at only 99 cents.
Working in the mobile space, I am exposed to some of the biggest challenges that the industry faces. When it comes to developers, I work closely on helping them generate revenue from their free apps (you’d be surprised to hear that free apps make more than paid ones), but the biggest issue developers face today, is definitely traffic. Call it discovery, call it buzz, call it PR, the bottom line is, without a lot of help, most mobile developers struggle with reaching mass audiences.
One of the biggest trends in the iPhone app development world is the creation of photo manipulating apps. These days you can add frames, distort colors, or make your picture look like it was taken with a polaroid camera. The problem with most of these apps is they all do just about the same thing and few do it very well. Luckily for us, 3D Photo For iPhone is not one of those apps and the effects it applies are cool and very creative, and it’s only 99 cents!
Let me start off this review by simply saying WOW! Very rarely does an app do something so cool, that even if I don’t necessarily care about what it does, I have to have it. Meal Snap is one of those apps. What is Meal Snap? Meal Snap allows you to simply take a picture of what you are about to eat and boom, the app gives you an estimated calorie count. Can you say awesome? Meal Snap is brought to you by the number one fitness brand in the App Store, Daily Burn, so you already it’s a superb app, at $2.99 it’s truly magical. You have to try it to believe it.
Sometimes the best things in life are free. Sometimes they are simple, yet fun. Sometimes both of these worlds collide in the form of a free iPhone app and that is always a good thing, for the consumers at least. Recently, the iPhone became the number one camera used to take pics posted to the popular photo sharing site Flickr, and with the amount of people choosing to leave their point and shoot cameras at home in exchange for their smart phones, there is always room for creative ways to spice up those photos. Label Box for iPhone does just that, for the superb price of free!
Different can be scary. This seems especially true in the world of iOS Apps. We have tons of Twitter, news and weather apps released on what seems like a daily basis. The quantity of iPhone Apps has multiplied over the years. Now, there’s pretty much an app for everything, so its hard to come across something truly new. If you want to get a little outside the box though, the Charles Santoso iPhone App may be just the thing for you. Charles Santoso is a Australian illustrator and concept artist who makes some really cool art that is perfect for your iPhone’s homescreen, for $2.99.
Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to come across some pretty awesome apps before they were released to the public. Right now, I am testing out anywhere between ten and twenty apps that will be released over the next few weeks. However, there is always that one app that stands out. I am referring to apps like Flipboard, Word Lens, Instagram, and others.
