Skipped last week, but back on board with The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick’s fun link up! This week’s topic:
Smart Phone Apps I Can’t Live Without!
This is actually a bit tricky for me as A: I haven’t had a smartphone for all THAT long, and B: I don’t do a ton on my phone. Therefore, most of my most used/fave apps are pretty run-of-the-mill boring. Hopefully I’ll find new ones from other people’s posts!
1. Instagram. Not too shocking. It’s about 50% of the reason I GOT a smartphone (you can judge, it’s okay π ). I love scrolling through pics, and I love sharing pics. Also, my little loves to scroll through the #catsofinstagram tag. Not even four, and already a cat lady.
2. Afterlight. One of the few apps I’ve paid for (I’m cheap about apps!). I love to take and share photos, even though my phone camera isn’t the best. Since I’m used to using the latest version of Adobe Lightroom to edit my regular pics, Instagram’s editing options just weren’t cutting it for me. I tried this app after reading about it on a post from My Life As A Teacup and it’s great. Definitely recommend if you want a phone photo editor.
3. Pinterest. I use Pinterest on my phone more than on my computer. It’s such a great time waster, but also can be really helpful!
4. Meow Meow Star Acres. I’m still hopelessly addicted to this game. Yup.
5. IMDB. Is that a weird one?? Well, I use it a lot! My friends and I like to discuss movies at length, especially after watching something we’ve never seen before, and I am always whipping up IMDB to look up one thing or another. Most recent use? Finding out who voices Shining Armor on MLP – he sounded so familiar yet I couldn’t put a face to him. Turns out he was on an ep of Supernatural, which is probably why I know his voice.
I think instagram is on everyone’s favorite app list lol it’s such a fun app to have π
I hear good things about afterlight but I don’t want to pay for it. I found some free photo editing apps that are fine for now π

Since it was only .99 and the only app I’ve bought so far, I decided to go for it! π
I LOVE Afterlight and I don’t usually pay for apps either! LOL Anytime we cannot think of an actor/movie/tv show our go to phrase is “IMDB it!!!” LOL
If there is one thing that my family argues about the most, it’s the “What else has that guy been in” argument when we’re watching movies or TV together. Because of that, I love, love, LOVE IMDB. π
Yes! So good for settling those debates.
There is actually a documentary on Netflix called I Know that Guy (I think) that talks to/about the supporting actors you see over and over in the movies.
I love it! I’m gonna have to check that out!
I am addicted to imdb. In fact I need to add it to my post. I love reading the message boards and looking at reviews. I think I spend more time on imdb than watching the actual movie!
I’ve been seeing Instagram as a lot of peoples favorites. It’s even one of mine. π I need to check out Afterlight as I’ve seen it recommended a few times as well. 99cents isn’t that much.
I had no idea IMDb had an app! I’m constantly just googling things and using safari on my phone! Definitely going to have to look in to that!

Oooh! Afterlight sounds like something I need to look into! Great list!
Thanks! I really like Afterlight – completely worth it for only $.99!
