Flipboard Review

22 Dec

Another app I’ve been really impressed with is Flipboard. With its magazine layout and usability, this is a must have. Honestly at first I thought this was going to be another beautiful, yet wasteful app. Boy was I wrong! I could never have imagined what I was missing…

What it does : Compiles popular articles in to an easily navigable interface. You can add Twitter, magazines, newspapers, Facebook and probably more. It seamlessly multitasks between a Tweet and an in program browser with simple sharing. I’m currently using it with Instapaper to save my favorite articles.

Happy holidays! Merry Christmas! I’ve been lucky enough to begin a program using iPads in the library. As part of that program, I’m going to review my first app here. So, today’s app? Skitch!

What it is: a photoeditting app
Why use it: to markup screenshots, to markup photos
When not to use it: to do more detailed editing (like contrast, layering, brightness, etc) Leave that for Adobe Express!

Here’s a sample of some crafty work that is not educational at all…
