SketchBook Express Review - Creative Thinking Thursday 2

SketchBook Express is FREE in the app store for Mac and iPad

This app is a great app for simple doodles or sketches. It is a lot better than MS paint. SketchBook Express is the free version of SketchBook Pro which is $79.99 in the app store. The only difference in SketchBook Express is that you are limited to 6 layers and must save the layers flattened. 

Smack Talk! Review - Wacky Wednesdays 1

Smack Talk! is available on the app store for the iPhone and iPad but I’m not actually sure if it’s free! Sorry LOL

Smack Talk is an app that repeats what you say in a funny voice. Either a creepy slow voice or high pitched voice. Sure it’s juvenile but it sure is entertaining!

Aweditorium Review - Tune in Tuesdays 1

Aweditorium is free in the App Store for iPad only

This app is a simple music discovery app which instead of utilizing genre like Pandora, it is completely random. You begin with a screen full of thumbnails once you select one the music starts. You can either plug your iPad into speakers and just listen to the music, tap the screen for lyrics, or tap again for a pop up video like thing which gives you factoids about the band and song. You can swipe for a new song.

Wunderlist! Let’s get Down to Business Mondays! 1

Wunderlist is Free in the iPhone & iPad app store and the Mac OSX App Store

Wunderlist is easy to learn because they utilize their own lists as a tutorial.

It syncs across all devices (as long as you sign up with and email and password) and you can share your lists across multi platforms including Windows and Android which allows you to delegate tasks.

You can star, add notes to lists, and delete them with ease!

You can receive push notification or email notifications when a list is due but no alarm or repeating tasks.

You can change the background from a set of preloaded designs with ease.

Tip: Sign up but don’t sign up for the newsletter. It is pretty useless and annoying.

Snap Seed Review! Creative Thinking Thursdays Episode 1!

This is my review of SnapSeed which is available in the App Store for the iPhone and iPad for $4.99 and you only have to buy it once for both the iPad and iPhone optimized copy.

In this video I show you have to change the contrast and brightness of the overall picture as well as changing the brightness in specific areas of your photo. 

I also show you how to crop and rotate the picture. 

I show you how to utilize the center focus function to focus your photos after the fact.

I explore the many filters this app has to offer even though it seems to only have a few you can alter them by touching the  ☆ —> ★  and/or the texture editor (which looks like a checker board) then swiping right and left to change the saturation.

There are frames… which I am unimpressed by.
