Photography apps

I wanted to share my favourite photography apps with you and here they are. 
1. Repix
This is an amazing photo editing app and I absolutely love it. You can download it for free and try out the free brushes that come with it, but I bought all the brushes and effects because I love photography and editing. It wasn't all that expensive, really.
You can jazz up ordinary photos with a couple brushes:

You can use the brushes and effects to antique photos:

And you can even make something completely uninteresting, like a plastic bag in a parking lot, look fascinating and even perhaps beautiful.

2. ToonCamera
This app is free and childishly easy. You pick a cartoonish effect and take a picture, or edit a picture you have already taken.


3. Pogoplug
Pogoplug is a great app for uploading your excess photos. It organises them into months and years so you have them all in a helpful timeline. 
You can set it to automatically upload new photos. 

All pictures were edited with the assistance of Repix.

Must-Have Apps

Here is a list of must-have apps for those just starting out with an iPad or a Mini.

1. Apps Gone Free (Best Daily Top App Deals)
            I feel that this is an exceptionally good app for anyone, as it is free and it alerts you to apps that are
            free that day so it is recommended to check it daily. It is possible to 'bump' apps, which is like
            recommending the app to others, saying it is worth the price, and if an app gets enough 'bumps', it
            will go free!
2. Atomic Toy
           This app costs about two dollars, but I got it for free with Apps Gone Free. It is a particle field that
           you can use to draw. You touch the screen to attract the particles, and you can change the affects on
           the particles. It is fun to pass long hours on a flight or in the car, and it shows off how well the retina
           display on your iPad works. I would not have spent the two bucks on it, but I am broke and not
           willing to spend money where I don't have to, so I am glad it went free. Pictures below.



3. Big Lens
          This is a free camera app. You can take a photo directly in the app or download from your camera
           roll and edit it. You can select parts of the photo that you wish to blur or sharpen and you can apply
          different effects and even change the shape of the lens flares.
4. CSR Racing
          This is a high tech racing game. It is fantastic for those who enjoy racing games, and even if you don't
          enjoy them so much, it is highly pleasurable to see your device put through its paces.
5. Emoji
          Okay, so this isn't a game or anything, but if you want to send emotes in iMessage or emails, you need
          to download this app. After you download it, you go into
          settings>general>keyboard>keyboards>add new keyboard and add the Emoji keyboard. To switch
          to that keyboard, simply press the button with the shape that looks like a globe on it and voila!
6. Glow Hockey 2
          This is a glowing air hockey game. It is highly enjoyable, and is one of few games you can play with a
          friend by your side.
7. Injustice: Gods Among Us
          Superheroes vs supervillains. You select three super-'s and fight the bad ones off.
8. Instatube
          This app is amazing. You can view videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion, and cache them
          on the app to view later offline.
9. WATCH Disney Channel
          If you, like me, love Disney, you can view episodes from the latest Disney shows with this app. It is
          free, and new episodes are available for viewing every Friday. Only a few episodes are available
          without a TV service provider, but if you have a provider that has given the app permission, you can
          sign on to your provider's account on the app and watch even more!

Fashion and Games

Everything is about a mission statement. My mission is to explore fashion into the furthermost reaches and discovers why colours that shouldn't go together are so appealing, like orange and purple! they shouldn't go together, but they look so great together! and how to pull them off. I also wish to share insider tips on games.  I love Miniclip, it is a great place to play a bunch of fun games for free. I also will share what little I know about Minecraft, and other games I have on my iPad, like Plants vs Zombies (which I rock at), Roads of Rome II & III, The Tribez, and Injustice. Probably many of you know more than I, but I am willing to share what little I do know with those who don't. I also am more than willing to offer opinions on makeup and clothing if asked, and suggest apps and games for specific individuals of certain tastes.
