I've been playing WordCollapse for two hours and my eyes are blurry!! These games can be an addiction!

App MyGarden and Knitting by Craftsy speak to my interests. You have to pay for most of the knitting patterns, but there are a few freebies. I will probably use this app to look for patterns.  I'm an avid gardener, but not sure I will use the MyGarden app. Not sure I like the format.

Bill NYE the science guy was my app choice. Our summer reading program theme is science related so I thought this might be a useful site. Yes, there were 6 simple science experiments that we could use in a program! Endless number of apps! Overwhelming! I use Wikipedia a lot so will use that app, too. When I have a question, there lies the answer.

Of the apps listed I have only used the Mn 511 for road conditions. I added the MPR app because I listen to it on the radio frequently. I like the alarm feature.

I was glad that the mic worked. I could not get a recording in dragon dictation. I'm not sure what I would use this for. Perhaps an audio message on a library webpage? Still need to listen to some tunes and figure out how it all works. Seems to be a popular site with good reviews.

Info.graphics got poor reviews. It wouldn't open for me so I went with Infographics Hub. Looks like it would be a good site to get ideas for layout and design of posters for library events or bulletin boards.

Magisto was fun and creative. I made a video of my puppy. Funny! Yes, this app could be used as a reading reference tool by doing book reviews. It could be used to promote an upcoming event. Videos have not been used much, or at all, in our region on our web pages, or in our libraries. They would add a little spark!

Haiku deck was fun! I created a slide show of an event coming up at our library. I posted it to Facebook privately to view. In actuality it was an advertisement for the app and the text did not appear with the slide. Too slow in appearing, maybe? Has some drawbacks but has potential.

I could not find the YALSA app, but found the Wattpadd app. Looks interesting. I don't see any "popular" authors so assume these are books submitted by authors wanting to make a name for themselves or just wanting to share a good story. Maybe I'll find time to read one? I thought the teen book site would have been a good reference tool in the library.

Our GRRL library system does not have apps, but does provide service to most of the databases listed, including ELM. The library I work in answers AskMN questions one evening per week. One app the library did suggest was BookMyne which is basically our catalog and our accounts. I don't use it very often. I use the catalog off our website. I was surprised to see how many systems do have apps.
