This shouldn't be a surprise, but half of these are photo apps...
1 // Manual - $2.99 // If I am using my iPhone for taking pictures I only use this app. The quality of the pictures are so much better than the standard iPhone camera pictures. Plus, you have some control over the ISO, focus, exposure, shutter speed, white balance and flash.
2 // Afterlight - $.99 // This is usually the first app I open when editing my photos. I use Afterlight for the brightness and clarifying tools.
3 // VSCO - free, with in-app purchases // I can't tell you how many times I have downloaded and then deleted this app. At first I hated this app. But every time I read a review on apps this one was always at the top of everyone's list. I couldn't figure out why. Until now. I love it and use it daily. For two reasons - 1.) I like to add my photos into VSCO in the order that they appear on my Instagram. Then when I want to post a new photo I can load it to VSCO and see how it looks with the rest of my feed and then decide if it's a good fit or not. And 2.) the C3 and Q1 filters. Those are the only two I ever use.
4 // Facetune - $3.99 // I use this one mostly for the whitening tool. I like my photos bright and the whitening helps achieve that. I also like the details tool for sharping certain parts of your photo.
5 // She Reads Truth - free, with in-app purchases // my go-to Bible and Devotional app.
6 // Cartwheel // For discounts at the best place on earth, Target.
7 // ESPN - free // I'm a sports girl and like to keep up with my teams!
8 // Bible for Kids - free // Mason and I both love this app. It's interactive and makes learning about the Bible fun for kids.
9 // Glow - free // great for keeping up with 'girl' stuff and helpful for those that are TTC.
10 // Color Story - free, with in-app purchases // this one I am still working with. I like the concept of it, but haven't exactly figured out how to make it work with my photos. I love all of the photos I see edited with this app, though! Do you use it? Any suggestions?
What are your favorite iPhone apps? Any that I must download now?
I'm the same way with a lot of those photo and editing apps (deleting and adding them back). I download them and say I'm going to use it, and then revert back to my regulars because I don't give them a chance and want to use what I'm comfortable with. Maybe I'll have to give them another chance!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, good list!! I have to check a few of these out!! And I love that you're a sports girl, too!! :)
ReplyDeleteI use Afterlight and like how I can brighten my photos with a tap of a button. I'm not really into taking amazing photos with my phone but maybe I should be because you have some AWESOME photos on IG and on your blog. Are they all iPhone photos?
ReplyDeleteI need to check out some of those photo apps! I don't think I have any of them!!
ReplyDeleteI love VSCO, and I only use the A6 filter. It's one of the most natural looking to me. FaceTune is also amazing, but I go to filters then lighting then lighter to brighten them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I need to check out of few of these. I also love Vsco, afterlight, facetune and of course cartwheel! Happy Tuesdays! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI keep deleting VSCO too. It frustrates me for some reason!
ReplyDeleteI had VSCO too and got to overwhelmed

I'll have to check out She Reads Truth. I haven't heard of that one. Actually I haven't heard of a few of the photography apps either. I'm fairly new to the iPhone world. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI need to check out the Kids Bible one, thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteYay! Noted. I have so much to learn. Some of my blog friends had a whole thread going on about how amazing color story is, but I haven't tried it yet
ReplyDeleteWhat a great round up. I need to check out manual! Love Cartwheel!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I have most of those photo apps but I am embarrassed to say that I don't ever use them since I don't know how. Your next post should be a how to on how to use all of these :) SO HELPFUL!
ReplyDeleteI love your top 10 apps, and I have a lot of them actually on my samsung as well! Those apps are life-saving with time/editing photos.
ReplyDeleteI also wrote about my top 10 today if you wanted to head over to my blog to read more

Thanks!:)
These are all good ones! Great minds think alike - I'm blogging about Afterlight and touching on VSCO and Color Story on Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of photo apps but I never use them. They are all free though! Hmm..
ReplyDeleteLove your list! I need to download a few of those picture apps. Thanks lady!
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny, I literally just deleted VSCO and ColorStory from my phone!!! Could you do a tutorial on how to use VSCO?! Im completely lost.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing what apps people love and use the most. There's so many and there's nothing better than hearing a personal experience. Thanks for these suggestions!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across your blog & love this post! Not sure if you're familiar with Adobe lightroom but I just found out yesterday they have an app that can sync with your lightroom on your computer & I am in love with it! You don't get all the perks of using it on your computer but I'm already loving the simple editing & filters it has while still keeping your pictures high quality!
