What's on my phone? | Collab with Kate
17:00
It feel like I haven't done a collab in ages(it was last month oops!) and since I have met so many amazing bloggers through the TTATB chat (read here for more info) I have quite a few coming up! Today's post is a collab with Kate. We have both decided to do a What is on my phone post so click here for her post and blog.
I have decided to just write about the apps that I have downloaded because I think everyone knows about the apps that already come with the phone. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini that I got for Christmas. I really love it and the camera quality is really good. I have divided my apps up into categories and I have a feeling this is going to be a long post so lets go!
Social
First up on my downloaded apps is Spotify. I don't use Spotify that often anymore but I still have it just in case I need it! In case you didn't know, Spotify is an app that lets you listen to any music without having to download it. However, to listen offline you have to pay a monthly subscription.
The next three social apps are , Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. I use these to communicate with my friends and fellow bloggers and to promote my blog posts.
Tools
The first app in the "tools" category is Google Calendar which I use to plan my life basically. All my blog posts are on there as well as reminders and the usual things. I now have an editorial calendar inspired by the lovely Nicole so go read her post on it here.
I didn't actually install Photos, it automatically downloaded when I updated my phone. I don't really use this as it is the same as gallery except the google version.
Forest is a productivity app. When you want to be off your phone, you can set a timer on it and if you go on your phone in the time limit, you kill the tree that has been growing. The aim is to have a forest growing every day, although I never get that!
Hootsuite is the app I use to schedule my tweets. I have tried Buffer but I didn't like that as much and I prefer the layout to Hootsuite. I always forget to tweet so this helps me remember, even though I am still awful!
Games
Infinity Loop, Cut the rope and Lep's world are all games that I sometimes play. Infinity loop is where you have lots of lines that you rotate to make them connect together. In cut the rope, you have to get the Candy to Omnom and Lep's World is a app version of Mario!
Photos
My last category is photos and the first app is VSCO Cam. I know this is so popular and I can see why! It is so easy to use and it has loads of tools. Also it is free which is even better! I use this all the time to edit my photos and I love that you can copy edits which I find really helpful.
Next up is Picsart which I also rarely use even though it is a really good app. I mainly use it to make collages because it has so many options.
Last but not least is Cheerz , which is kind of similar to Lalalab where you can order photos to be printed in loads of different ways.
Sorry this post is so long but make sure you go read Kate's post!
What is your favourite app?
