Confession 33 - SquareHub App Social Networking for your family

Today I'm pre-confessing (is that even a word) about an app that was just released today, SquareHub.  Ironically, there is nothing "square" about this app and it seems to me to be one of the coolest, most awesome apps that I have seen released in a long time.  I mean, I think the last time I was this over the moon, was when I stumbled on Orchestra, I remember my giddy feeling, all happy and blissful! Well, this morning when I found out about SquareHub, I felt the same exact way.

So what is it? It's a new app that basically lets you have a private network with your family.  So let me paint the picture. We have close family friends that have 5 children, 1 away at college, 1 soon to be and 3 still at home. At any given time, both parents are on their phones texting away to their children, talking about what's for dinner, who can pick  up who, who will be home to feed the dog, etc. Group texts can get hairy and rather cumbersome to respond to, so most of the time, the parents and the kids are sending individual texts. See the issue? See the huge "black whole of time"? What if there was a way to have private communication for your whole family to see?

Introducing SquareHub, a private social network for your family that allows you to communicate in real time with your whole family, taking away the cumbersome, clunky way texting, calling and emailing are. Take a look at the screen shots below... Literally I'm {swooning} and so AppHappy!

You can check in to places just like on Facebook, so parents will know when your kid reached the movie theater or Suzy's house. You can also share pictures, that can be adorned with stickers, filters and star rewards. The app is also equipped with emoticons for when you are too busy to respond with a "I like that", or "bummer", you can just hit the face icon! Genius right?

The app is cleverly equipped with a To Do List feature where you can assign tasks to any family memeber and any or all family members can have visibility.  No more from your teenager "mom never told me to do that", oh yay buddy, that's not what the To do List says! Genius! (I know think of a new word Creative Junkie)

So go and check out this app and download it, it's FREE and get some time freed up to do some things that matter, instead of sending texts and emails!  I'm sorry to say that this app is only available for iPhones at the moment, an Android version is currently in development.

Confession 28 - Back in the Saddle and Fundawear? YIKES!

Well, I'm back from my 3 week hiatus! I was out for pleasure to Nashville, TN for 2 weeks and then in Orlando for business... phew, that was a lot of traveling! More to come about my Nashville trip. I did get out to do some photo shooting so I will be eager to share those.

Today, I'm just confessing about a new technology I read about. Why you ask, because it's so tantalizing! Check out this article I found on Mashable about this new technology..


After you have checked it out, leave me a comment on your thoughts.   Post "50 Shades" and Christian Gray, this seems very interesting.... !  And, once again, I'm proving to you that I stay up and up on the most creative technological products out there, LOL!

Confession 22 - Ringya App - A way to organize phone lists

Today I'm confessing about one of my favorite phone list organizing apps... Ringya {{squeal}}. It is one of my favorite "sanity" apps and I've only been using it for about 3 months! What is it? Well it allows you to take a photo of any phone list spreadsheet (yes you heard that right, you just take a photo) and then send it off within your Ringya app to the gurus there, some minutes later (usually about 30 for me) you get an alert on your phone through the app that your new phone list is ready! It takes all the information and creates an individual contact for each person on the spreadsheet. It will even categorize the list for you, by heading. So the class list for my daughter's class is broken down by student, mom, and dad.  I have at my finger tips, phone numbers, addresses and names! It's just genius! Don't believe me? Check the video out below:
 A new feature just released is group text and email. So if I need to rapidly send out a message to all the neighbors on my block, I hit group message and bam, same message to all neighbors in one action!  How cool is that?

So if you are tired of constantly looking for a spreadsheet on your messy desk or searching for hours through emails up on emails, download this app. You will not be disappointed! If not for anything, just to see the beauty in the conversion of a spreadsheet into contacts... it's absolutely beautiful!

Now...  an app needs to be created that automatically puts my daughter's softball game schedule into my google calendar from a spreadsheet, now that would make me do the "Happy Dance" like a million times!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked my latest confession!

Confession Nine - Photo Booth in your Pocket

I can't believe I'm on confession nine... Yay for me for keeping this up. It's a chore some days, just finding time to write and then trying to figure out the best topic for the amount of time I have.
Today, I'm confessing about one of the many photo apps I use on my iPhone, IncrediBooth. {{swooning}} Have you been keeping up with the PhotoBooth trend? It's everywhere, from parties, to graduations to weddings. OMG, it's so silly and fun and retro, what's not to like? It's super easy to use and gives you the flexibility of saving just one picture (like here) or in a classic photo strip format (like below). I love getting my creative fix using this app. And I'm totally ON TREND!

Check it out, at 99 Cents... you can't even get a coffee for that price!
You can shoot in all different types of filters and buy more filters right through the app.

Go have fun with this swanky app this weekend!

Yes, you see that right, Baby Bella can touch her tongue to her nose... EWE, pure talent!
