SigNote Review - Creative Thinking Thursdays

SigNote is $0.99 in the iOS App Store for iPhone Only

SigNote is an app that lets you personalize your photos. All you need is a pen, paper, and your iPhone of course! 

First you take a picture with your iPhone and make that your base photo. Then you either draw, write something, or sign your piece of paper. Once you are satisfied with your drawings you can choose your foreground image and place it on your picture. You can resize the FG picture and change the color of it. You can add multiple FG images to one BG photo.

Check it out! It’s fun! 

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. 

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.

Gelato Mania - Sunday Funday 1

Gelato Mania is free in the App Store for iPhone only.

Though the game is free there are a few paid upgrades which include…

• $0.99-$4.99 buys you 5 - 50 “recipes” which are walk throughs
• $9.99 unlocks all levels (Which you can do for free by beating the levels)
• $0.99 removes ads which is AWESOME

How To Play:

It’s a simple puzzle game where you have to match up the gelato to the one in the example picture. You use tools and colors in the right order to make your gelato perfect. The faster you do it and the less moves you use will get you more points!

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.
