23 mobile things 10

 In my last blog I said I couldn't find the Instagram app. I decided to try another app apparently related to Instagram. In order to register for it I had to go through Instagram, which I was then given access to.  Roundabout, I know, but success. But I don't know if it's the same on ipad as in mobile. Not immediately impressed. But will post a picture to try it out.

The Aviary app did not initially impress me. I was looking for the Instagram app for ipad which is suppose to edit photos, but could not identify the Instagram app to use on my ipad. So I went with Instacollage. Easy to use. Created a collage of our puppy, who just ran off while I was absorbed in this. Yes, a photo app could be used to create library posters! Very fun!

FriendCaster appears to be the same as Facebook but in a different format. There are features I like about it such as photos appearing on the right side of my wall for easy access. Our library system has a Facebook page which is fun to view. I am friends with other librarians and it is nice to see what they are up to outside of work. I could create a Facebook page for our branch library as a tool for patrons.

I like Pinterest. I use it often to look up ideas for library crafts and library displays. The app makes Pinterest easy to use. I did not understand how to use it very well before I got the app. I made a personal folder classily called "stuff I like." I collected many ideas I will consider for our 2014 summer reading program.

I selected the CloudOn document app. I copied a small article on gardening and copied and pasted it to my email. Slick! I didn't think I would ever be able to create a document on my ipad so this is a great new discovery. Another great work tool!

I chose the Dragon app. I can not get it to record my voice. I'm quite sure the mic works because I use FaceTime quite often. I will continue to try. Stay tuned. This app would be a time saver at work, if it could quickly create a letter or document or jot down a quick note or idea.
