There's an App for That!

10/2/2012

0 Comments

 
   I became so bored the other day that I actually stared just reading through the applications available for my new iPhone. I know people kept telling me I needed one, and since I had a malfunctioning button on my last phone I hadn't seen what apps were available. To me it's just a cell phone, and I use the notepads, etc, but I've never worried much about extras. That is certainly startint to change!

    I'm sure you have ideas of games and pictures dancing in your heads now, but I've found a way to keepmost of them to useful and life related. I even found some that will allow me to take pictures of the bar codes on my food to build a grocery list (finding one that works in Canada is proving a little more difficult...) I found one that shows me all the coupons, flyers, and sales in my area, and will even track my coupons and notify me when I get to the store that I have them. (ShopWise from Yellowpages) I of course have the weather network, and I'm very happy with the new integrations for FaceBook, it's one of the reasons I'm getting along so well with my phone now, plus I have FaceBook Pages to control my fan pages from anywhere! (currently needing 2 new fans on my page to reach 100 *wink*wink*  I also added Weebly so I can blog from anywhere (my daughters preschool seems as good a place as any) and my horoscope just for fun. I found Lemon Wallet which allows me to add in all my customer cards and some receipts, making my actual walllet lighter, Cineplex for girls nights :) and a new app that allows me to get important health carnumbers as wella s hospital addresses, maps, and wait times at the emergency room. I love having poison control's number at the touch of my screen, and when you have allergies or seizures in the family it's good to know which hospital is closest and which has a shorter wait time. I've added an app for my library card that allows me to hold, renew, order, check out, and locate books, and even borrow e-books from my local library. Also, I have Vlingo, that allows me to control my phone by voice command, including sending and replying to text messages and emails, or update social networks. I have one game for my daughter, and just for me, just because I want it, I added 10 songs to my phone for when my iPod battery dies on a run, which is clearly the only time that battery ever runs out, like it knows...

      In a world that revolves around mobility and accessability, I am jumping on the band wagon and taking my life with me as I go! As a mom who also has other things to do, this is a wonderful development.
