Review: Are you ever in the constant look out for new apps? If your low on money and don’t have enough time to research then get the App Sniper. It’s amazing. My buddy just showed me this beauty today and I love it. It will look for Apps that have been discounted or have become free. Not only does it show you that but it will show you the percentage it dropped from. Amazing!

Review: This App is outstanding. Finally a great way to view my google analytics on my iPhone or iPod Touch. I’m able to do almost everything I can do on the Google Analytics website but in the palm of my hands. It’s a super fast way to see how my blog is doing and can keep up to date with what I need to adjust. I’m sure there are free solutions out there for this but no where near as good. It’s definitely worth the 6 dollars if your serious about your site.

Review: Ok so your a digital photographer right? Well this is the next best thing to creating realistic film like photos. I am obsessed with this program. Pretty much how it works is it’s installed in Photoshop as a plugin. You open your photo of choice and choose either a black and white or color film stock. The stocks are REALISTIC too. Kodak etc. Enjoy the demo then purchase it like I did :)

Review: Although I’m a little behind on the Twitter fad I’m finally catching on. TwitterFon seems to be the only good free solution. Some of the specs for the current version are geo-tagging, photo attachment, and the ability to chat with your friends whom are currently on TwitterFon. The transaction time for sending a new message is super quick. Even when I posted my first image it took no more then a few seconds to post.

Review: Possibly the best note taking app out there. Evernote uses a variety of different technologies to get your notes in the right place. The devices that uses Evernote are as follows. Iphone, Ipod Touch, Internet, and/or Computer. Basically how it works is if you’ve created an account on your computer and downloaded the Evernote app (mac or pc) you can save your notes. They can be audio, picture, etc. My favorite function of this app is having it on my iPhone. I can take a picture from wherever I’m at and it will be geotagged and sent to my Evernote server that I’ve signed up for. Now Evernote is free but if you want the capability to upload unlimited notes you do have to pay a specific amount monthly. If your a power user then I recommend that service for you. I’m currently a free subscriber and happy. The speed of it is actually amazing. I’ve tested recording a voice memo and the moment I sent it out and sat on my computer it was there. Super cool. Check it out!!

Mint

Price: Free

Review: This app is absolutely breathe taking. Using Mint I’m able to focus on my finances like never before. I’m aware that many people use their Quicken to watch themselves financially but to me this is the best thing. Your able to input your different financial institutions (ex: Wellsfargo, Bank of America, AMEX, etc). So how it works is you input your accounts after you sign up for a free account on Mint.com. The beauty of it all is having all your accounts in one place and being able to see your buying trends. I love to know that I’ve spent more on entertainment then on paying back my debt. This really puts you in check and makes you more aware of your financial woes. They will even give you tips and tricks on how to fix your current situation. I definitely recommend this app for anyone. If your financially stable and secure or just trying to learn how to get your life back on track this is for you. 

 

The last thing I would like to point out is how accessible this all if from your iPhone or iPod touch. You can download the app and see the information all from your hand held. Don’t feel discouraged if you don’t have either one of these. Mint can still work for you even if you have neither. All you have to do is create an account like I mentioned above and use it all online. Yes you do miss out on having it straight to your phone but at least you can still budget all online.
