Boy do I love apps. And if I see I have an update available for one of my downloaded apps? I may or may not do a little giddy dance. I admit that I find myself relying on apps quite a bit each day but hey that's kind of what they were invented for! This week I am favoring three apps that were very handy (I currently have a 32G iPhone 5s). AfterLight app: I love this app whenever I need to brighten or sharpen a photo. Whether it be for Instagram or my blog, it allows me to save to my camera roll or immediately post to my Twitter or Instagram. They do have some pretty awesome filters as well. My favorites are Ash, Captain, Crown, Atlas, Breeze, Dallas, and Wicker. I use Captain the most because it can really turn a dark picture into a beautifully lit one. You can also play around with the contrast, saturation, and tint even after you have applied the filter. Instasize app: This app is a godsend. When Instagram no longer allowed you to post entire horizontal or landscape photos, this app came to the rescue. Now I can fit the entirety of my photo into my Instagram post! I pretty much use it for every post. FlightTrack app: Since I am constantly traveling, I swear by this app. I also happened to use it this week since I traveled back home to visit family for the weekend. It tells me in advance if my flight is still on schedule, delayed, or cancelled and what gates I will be departing and arriving at for each airport. How cool is that? FlightTrack also helps me when I need to pick someone up at the airport. I can easily stalk - er, track - their flight so I know when they will be landing and when I should pick them up.
