Apps: Lifestyle
Greetings fellow iTravelers and iAdveturers! Welcome back to my special Summer Travel series, in which I take a look at great apps and awesome accessories that can make our summertime adventures more convenient and more enjoyable.
There's never a shortage of Apple-related headlines these days! Here's a brief look at a few stories that have caught my attention and which I wanted to share with all of you! Don't let the water stop you!
Finding a men's magazine these days that isn't jammed with male enhancement ads, mostly naked people or similar junk is not exactly an easy thing. Rebel is different from other men's magazines--a decidedly encouraging thing. If you are more about doing something positive in the world, rather than sitting on your couch staring at well, junk, then Rebel might be for you. The mag's app is a well-executed mashup of interesting imagery, cleverly presented articles and linked content. For a peek at how a nicely executed magazine could look on your iPad, check out the rest of the review (or grab Rebel here).
Have you guys gotten into using store apps at all yet? How great are they? I think it’s really reinventing the shopping experience, and eventually, we’ll be able to order everything from our phones. Think of how much time we’ll save!
I think I’ve probably mentioned to you iPhone Life-ers that I have two little dogs. Well, they’re not really my dogs, per se. They’re my wife’s dogs, so by virtue of their proximity (and their sleeping on my bed), they’re also mine. That's a picture of little Dolce looking swanky in her jacket right there. Poor Bella is terribly camera shy, so just imagine Dolce with more hair and that's what she looks like. They amuse me, so I like to help out with taking care of them. Also, there’s tons of cool apps I get to experiment with! Pet owners are crazy about apps!
Keeping up with everything that has to do with your car can be difficult. The more things that you have to worry about, the more stressful it can get. This application is really great for being more organized and not stressing about the ins and outs of owning a vehicle.
Last week, as I was walking through my local Safeway, a louder-than-usual announcement came over the internal sound system, informing shoppers of the new Safeway app. I downloaded it immediately using the store’s WiFi, but didn’t know which e-mail address was tied to my phone number. So I had to wait until I got home to explore. Sign-up for the service required the web (unless you are new to the Safeway rewards program, and then you can sign-up on the app). I linked a new e-mail address to my phone, registered on the web and started browsing.
So, its time to get real here. How many blogs do you follow? Sometimes, following blogs can get extremely overwhelming! Although it may be fun, its not always easy to keep all of your RSS feeds together and you might, in the end, worry about missing something! News feeds and weather reports? Easy to manage with this application! Always on the go? Try Feeds Wire.
