My Favorite Photo Apps

**This post is NOT a sponsored post in any way. Just sharing some technology that I am loving currently** 

I love technology. I also love that we have the ability to share our feelings instantaneously through social media, texting, email. The words are always at the tip of our tongues and are just waiting to escape through the tips of our fingers. But why say it with just words when you can say it with a picture complete with fun graphics, stickers, fancy fonts, and bright colors?

I’m not a designer. I can’t draw or even doodle, really. So I rely on fun iPhone apps to help me. I use them here on the blog, over on the Facebook page, Instagram, and even within fun and funny texts to friends and family.

Here are three of my faves:

1. Rhonda Designs: $1.99  iTunes, Instagram

I use this for Facebook graphics and adding inspirational text and messages to photos. The app has some basic photo editing features: adding filters, frames, fine-tuning photos. What I love most are the designs. Rhonna has a lovely, chic style and she provides uplifting word graphics-all customizable within the app. I follow her on Instagram and Periscope and she just seems like a sweet, lovely, down-to-earth lady. This app is for purchase and includes in-app purchases along with what is offered.

2. Rhonnna Collage: $1.99 iTunes,  Instagram

From the same creator of Rhonna Designs, this app is the second in a trio of design apps in this suite from Rhonna Farrer. Formerly the Bubble Frame App, this app is different from a lot of other collage apps I’ve come across. Rhonna Collage has frames in “bubbles” that are customizable and the canvas frame can be filled with patterns or other photos, too.

For example: This collage consists of 9 bubbles atop a black and white polka dot canvas. Each bubble can be added separately or one can choose from a multitude of layout options. The apps in the Rhonna Farrer Suite can be used together, meaning I can start this in Collage, open it in Rhonna Designs, add text and graphics, and then save. How cool is that? (The third app in this suite is Rhonna Magic. While I did buy it, I hardly ever use it-yet)

3. Fuzel: Free  iTunes, Instagram

Again, another collage option that includes frames, stickers, and plenty of collage layouts. This app has quirky layouts (like this one here) and in-app purchases. Fuzel also offers challenges to earn credits to buy sticker and frame packs.

Bonus: Collect Photo App:  $1.99  iTunes, Instagram

The Collect Photo App is my go-to for documenting our day-to-day life. I can store one or more photos a day, flip it over and add a little blurb about it/them, and at the end of the month I have a pretty good snapshot of what my month looked like.

At the end of each month I save the collage in the same design, open it in Rhonna Designs, and add text and graphics in the same manner as digital scrapbooking. It’s quick and easy. The app also makes finding a photo for a certain day easy by pulling up photos from the library that were taken on that day.
