My Favorite App is.....

...CamScanner. I've talked about this app before, but because it is so helpful and versatile, I wanted to update my post. CamScanner is available in a free version for Mac, Android, and Windows. If you prefer an ad-free version, CamScanner Pro will also allow more cloud storage. At $4.99, it is worth this small fee. Here are the links for the pro versions: Mac, Android. (currently only $1.99!) I was unable to locate a pro version for Windows phones. iPad users can also download the free or pro app.

So, allow me to explain why this is such an awesome app. Do you need to share several pages with someone and they need them right away? You're not near a scanner or copier. (Some copiers can scan to email) What's a person to do?  Here are some of the things that CamScanner can offer you, as per camscanner.com. (My additions are in BLUE.)

• Access, edit and manage documents anytime and anywhere as you need. 
• CamScanner enables quick search in seconds.
• Add notes to any documents
• Add tag to any document for easy search
• Multiple viewing modes: list view and thumbnail view
• Copy and move documents to other locations
• Easily search for any document by OCR tech- OCR stands for optical character recognition.
• Merge documents content- you can send it as a pdf or jpeg file
• Set passwords for important documents
• Backup and restore documents to/from SD card
• Easily share document scans in PDF or JPG to collaborators via email. Or you can save them in the cloud, fax and print out those documents. Your 5-page document is now 1 pdf!

• Upload files to cloud storages

Have You Heard of Summly? A Teen Just Sold it to Yahoo!

Until today, I had never heard of Summly, yet it was one of the best iPhone apps for 2012.  The app streams information you are interested in with a simple interface in no more than 400 characters. Created by Nick D’Aloisio when he was only 15, it was acquired today by Yahoo! in what is being described as a multi million dollar deal. With so much information out there, it's nice to be able to receive your own personalized edition, right? Take a look at what Summly has to offer and within the next year let's see what Yahoo! does with it.

Yes, There's Now an App For This Blog!

If you have an iPhone, you can download the app for my blog: http://itunes.apple.com/my/app/bloapp/id436962200?mt=8 and by snapping the QR code on the upper right column of this blog you can add this blog to the app.
This was made possible by Bloapp, which allowed me to create my own app! With my Photoshop knowledge, I was able to create my own header and logo which were the exact dimensions needed. Very cool, wouldn't you say?
