While I am a self-confessed technophile I resisted owning a mobile phone for a long time.

The Android UI is just as pleasing and the phone was half the price of the iPhone 4. Even with my deep love of all things Apple, I am not missing the iOS user interface one bit. It now gets charged and used on long journeys mainly having been replaced by a HTC Wildfire – my ‘productivity centre’. Having blogged twice about the apps I have installed on the iPod (during the early days of this blog), I felt it was time to confess to the fact that the iPod has been relegated to the status of ‘portable entertainment centre’.

I currently own a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro (my second one) and an iPod touch. Some of you will know that I am quite the Apple fanboy.

As such I want them positioned where I can access them quickly when holding the phone in one hand. Apps towards the bottom of the home screen are the ones that I use most often. In terms of arranging the apps, my choices are based on frequency and tactility. It offers a wide range of features, from basic editing features such as cropping and rotating to more stylistic effects such as manipulating depth of field. Snapseed – Nearly everyone who replied to my initial tweet recommended this app, and I have already had loads of fun playing with it. I chose to begin with the following two apps:Ĭamera+ – I decided to get this app as it offered some interesting improvements on the built in camera app: Improved zoom capabilities and a stabiliser (perfect for a novice photographer) I looked to my PLN on Twitter to help me get started and they didn’t disappoint. With the iPhone 4S’ 8MP camera, I am planning to take this as an opportunity to capture images on a more regular basis. I think this is due to the poor quality of cameras I have encountered in previous phones. Taking photographs with a mobile phone is an activity I have never really been interested in.

This means I will be forced to decide if what I noted down is really valuable or not. This adds what I would call ‘useful friction’ in that when I decide to act on the information I have captured in Pop I will have to make an effort to move each piece around. The only other options are: select, select all, copy all and paste. That is exactly what Pop offers: a piece of paper on to which you can write stuff down and return to later. Pop – I’m a huge believer in ubiquitous capture and even with Notesy installed, sometimes all you need is a piece of paper.

Agenda, is clean and minimal, utilising sound principals of typographic design. This makes for a far richer listening experience.Īgenda – The built in iPhone calendar has a very poor UI.

What this app offers over the built in music app is the ability to stream shows, download on the fly and access show notes within the app itself. As an avid listener to podcasts, I am very pleased with my experience so far. It has been well reviewed, with the consensus being that there is no better app for the job. Instacast – Like Tweetbot, this is an app I have wanted to use for some time. What’s more the quality of the display on the 4S is crystal clear. On first look, as I have found with other cross platform apps, both the iPhone’s UI and UX are vastly superior. I use the desktop app almost every day and have been making regular use of the Android version. Since my previous post I have added a few more apps and settled on an arrangement for my home screen.Īlongside Tweetbot, Instapaper, Reeder, Kindle and Notesy which I added almost immediately, I have now added the following apps:Įvernote – I have been using Evernote to manage and organise my M.Ed studies.
