Its 2017, and as much as we hate to admit it we are all addicted to our phones and rely on them for almost everything. Wether it's editing your photos, booking a taxi within seconds or learning a new language we use our phones for EVERYTHING! I do believe in having some down time where you should switch your phone off have night, get away from all social media and choose to read instead but I also believe we are incredibly lucky to have the technology we have to day and should really make the most of it.
I thought it would be a great idea to share some apps I find incredibly helpful, some well known, others might be new to you that you will love:
1. PINTREST
This is a pretty popular app which many people use however I don't think people use it to the best of its ability. This app allows you to pin photos onto different boards from all different genres/categories for you to look back on. If you are a little OCD like me when it comes to mood boards you will adore this app. For me this app has been exceptionally helpful when I was volunteering in Africa and while doing my degree right now when I have had to come up with activity ideas, the educational sector of the app is full of inspiration to help you bring a little fun to the classroom.
I also use this app for discovering hidden treasures while travelling which you won't find as easy through google or trip advisor ect. I pin the places I want to visit in each city so when I come to booking my trip I have a bucket list ready to tick off.
Lastly I love to use this app to pick up inspiration for my home, the app if full of interesting DIY ideas easy for everyone to do. The images of other peoples homes really inspired me to get my act together and make the most of my tiny, little flat. Here is a link to my Pinterest if you would like to gain some inspo from my boards! https://uk.pinterest.com/ForeverJessMay/
2. FREEPRINTS
This app has been a life saver for me and is possibly my favourite app from them all! This app basically lets your order 40 photos a month for free which you can pick straight form your phone photos or social media, the photos are then posted to your address and all you have to pay is for the postage which is really really cheap. Capturing memories and keeping ahold of them is so important to me, I love to print out all my photos and keep them in photo albums to look back on and show to family and friends. This used to cost me so much more as its very expensive to print out photos from shops so this app has probably saved me hundreds of pounds, I couldn't thank it enough. You also can redeem rewards through using the app and sharing it with others, when placing your order used my invite code to earn 5 bonus free prints per month : jnichol4
3. BEEN
This app is fairly new to me but I have fell in love with it and can't wait to have the chance to use it more. This app basically lets you highlight on a word map where you have been, for travel lovers like me this is perfect to see what parts of the world you have seen a lot of and what parts you really need to see. The app also tell you what percentage of the world you have seen and what percentage of each continent you have seen. To my surprise I have only seen 10% of Europe and 3% of the world which is crazy, this app has made me determined to plan some more travelling trips and get that percentage as high as i possibly can!
Hopefully this post has been useful for you and will help you make the most of the thousands of apps out there just waiting for us to discover!
