Top 5 Apps For Girls

Want to know what the top 5 apps are that every woman should have?  Whether you are a  a disorganised mess or simply want to keep all your appointments and dates in one place, here are the top five apps that all women should have.

Women have a lot of things they have to sort out. From business appointments and childcare to yoga sessions and drinks with friends, there are a lot of things to balance out. But fear not, help is at hand and yes, there is an app for that.

Find My iPhone
Always misplacing your iPhone? Well now there is an app to help you find it.  Losing your phone is probably something that has happened to you more than once, and hopefully by now you have taken out mobile phone insurance to soften the blow, but finding it can be easy.  Find My iPhone uses GPS co-ordinates to help you get reunited with your phone once again.

Textalyzer
Is your exes phone number still on your phone? Do you find that after one too many cocktails you think its a good idea to text him? Well, not with Textalyzer.  This sneaky little app means that you can create a ‘Don’t text’ list which stops you from sending a text to anyone on that list.  If you try to send a text you will have to complete a series of quizzes and puzzles first.  If you fail, which you probably will, then the app will save your text message for 12 hours.  That way you can press send if it still seems like a good idea the next morning.

Notonthehighstreet.com
Ever wondered what to buy your boyfriend’s mum for her birthday?  Or your boss?  Well, the www.notonthehighstreet.com gift finder app makes finding and purchasing presents easier than ever.  You can even add special events to the app.  Chances are you will probably find something so lovely that you will want to keep it for yourself.

cab4me
Finding a cab at stupid-o’clock can be a chore you can do without.  But cab4me will use your GPS location to find the nearest cab to you. Be street wise and always call a cab.

Evernote
The notepad that is already on your phone is probably not quite good enough for the modern woman.  Which is why Evernote was invented.  This handy little app means that you can add text, voice and photo notes to your handset. Making life so much easier.

Circle of 6
This is a really great app for women as it is there to help keep you safe.  It allows you to choose six people that you can add to your circle, hence the name.  If you find yourself in a dangerous situation then you don’t need to call round and let everyone know or shout for help. When time is of the essence you can simply alert your six friends or family as well as the emergency services.  It will send them all a message as well as give them your GPS location. Be safe, not sorry.

When Fitness And Technology Collide 5 Great Apps That Will Help You Get Fit

Once we get to a certain age we stop doing any exercise and that has to change. If you don't do something about it now you will only suffer in years to come. Trying to get fit isn't easy, but maybe you will be more eager to get started if you know about some amazing apps that will make the process a lot more fun. Take a look at some of the best ones we've picked out today because you might want to download them.

FitnessBuilder

If you don't know anything about lifting weights it's pretty pointless picking any up because it's unlikely you will see the results you want. Not only do you need to know what exercises to do, but you need to follow a specific routine. This app has you covered on both counts because it's filled with hundreds of workouts and thousands of individual exercises. Strength training is important and this app will help you master it.

Endomondo

When you're running you don't want to run around the same boring track every single day. If you end up getting bored it can stop you from finding the motivation to train. Edomondo is cool because when you go out for a run it will track how far you go by using the GPS on your phone. You will be able to run in any direction and you will still cover the same ground every day. Reaching a set distance is important if you want to progress, so I wouldn't go running without the app.

Everest

It's hard to do something unless you have a specific goal in mind and I'm sure you've experienced that before. It's especially hard to see any results in the gym because without a goal you probably won't even bother going most of the time. Anyone who struggles to motivate themselves would find the Everest app useful. You can set little reminders for each goal you set and it will keep pushing you to move forwards instead of giving up. For example, if you are recovering from hip joint pain and starting to walk or run, setting time and distance based goals will allow you to know of your progress.

Thryve

Everyone is talking about how you need to count calories these days if you want to lose weight. It's not really true and the real reason people are overweight is because they don't even try to eat under a certain amount of calories each day. Thryve is different because instead of tracking the calories you eat you can track how each meal makes you feel. It lets you break it down into individual ingredients and you will be able to see what food makes you feel like crap.

Zombies, Run!

Nearly every running app on the market is useful in its own special way, but I don't think any of them compare to this app if you're looking to have some fun. Do you think you would run a lot faster if you knew there were zombies chasing you? Wear some headphones when you're running and the app will let you know when you're being chased. It will give you the motivation to break personal records just because you don't want to be eaten.

Allow IOS Apps To Spread Some Designer Love Around Your Home!

Have you ever looked at those perfect homes that are showcased on the designer websites and then shuddered as you remember your last foray into the world of home improvement projects? We’ve all made a mess of the painting or flooring renovation at one time or another and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. But, if you’ve finally had enough of averting your eyes from that dreadful decking or woeful water feature, why not look for some expert help? iOS apps have an astonishing array of home improvement apps that have already transformed the efforts of millions of people just like you and me. This article will outline a few of the better ones that are just waiting for you to hit that download button right now!




Home Design 3D – For iPhone by Anuman - $3 https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/home-design-3d-for-iphone/id426123718?mt=8
This app will run on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and it requires iOS 6.0 or later for smooth running. Well our first offering is something that will be welcomed by thousands of frustrated DIY’ers worldwide! You simply draw up a replica of your target room and this incredible app transforms it into a 3D version. The best way to employ Home Design 3 D is to build up your room in 2 D format and when you are done you can convert it up to three dimensional visibility. This will allow you to gain a clearer perspective of how the finished upgrades will look. You have so many options for add-ons and you’ll always be able to find that perfect window design, exact floor covering or wood / faux wood blinds that you are hankering after.  You can alter the dimensions as you continue and there is no excuse for a shoddy end product. The only downside of the app is that you will need to spend a little time getting use to the usability before you can start getting the desired results. But overall this is a very cool piece of kit that will offer some stunning results.

My Pantone by Pantone - $10 https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/mypantone/id329515634?mt=8
This app will run on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and it requires iOS 5.0 or later for smooth running. If you’re a bit artistic and are fed up of the same old boring paint colours on offer at your local home improvement depot, well, this app is for you! Those clever colour-tastic chappies over at Pantone have developed this killer app to allow intrepid home improvement fans the ability to experiment with their beautiful tones.  The Palette feature allows you to mix and match color schemes and with over 13,000 to choose from you’ll have no end of possibilities. These palettes can be exported to your social media sites for further discussion with your ‘expert’ buddies! If you see a colour on the net and you’re not sure of the exact name, why not import it to this app for a quick match up? You can also print these lovely tones via your hard copy device and use them to try against the wall or ceiling in question. This is a groovy app that will certainly get the artistic juices flowing like a river!

iOS At Your Command!

These apps are both just what the home improvement doctor ordered, why not get them before that next project starts?
