Updated Apps Review

Have you had random App updates lately?
Instagram now has hashtags come up when typing,
giving suggestions and showing the number of 
times that hashtag has been used on IG. 

Also Pinterest now has trending when you 
search for something. 
And they have colors for how popular it is, 
deeper the color = more people looking that up. 

Snapchat removed their tap and hold 
and now it is just tap. 
Which is kind of strange, it changes a lot. 

Snapchat also added some new filters, 
Along with the color changing edits, 
they now have location banners, 
holiday banners, and a strange battery. 
Not sure about the battery one but I like the others. 

Tumblr is very proud to have "added Chinese translations
and reduced the number of crashes."
You can now get a  notification
 when your favorite blog posts. 
There is a little human on their page you tap to follow. 

Speaking of notifications, 
Netflix has joined the game, 
when a new season has been added to a show in 
your list a push notification (if they are enabled) 
will pop up, If not, a small bell on the top bar in the app 
will have a little number show up. 

Twitter did a little redesign recently, 
changing the way to switch between accounts, 
they have also been working 
on the discover and search areas. 

Pandora says they now have a feature where 
you can hum a tune using SoundHound. 
Which now changes the game for Shazam and 
siri, who recently was able to "name that tune"

Facebook Messenger, 
which in my opinion is useless, 
can now be used without a Facebook, 
but with only a phone number to sign up. 

What do you think?
How do you feel bout updates?
Favorite improvements?

Best Wishes

My favorite apps.

I Looooovvvveee my phone! 
Let's back it up a bit. 
When I started babysitting on a regular basis I was allowed to get a phone. 
I think I was 15. I had to pay for the phone and they plan. 
My first phone was the iPhone 4s which I smashed the back of 1yr after I got it. 
I discover it was smashed when I was typing and heard crushing glass noises :/ 
whoops. 
Anyway it was in rough condition. Someone knocked of a bench into a cup of water.....
And it still worked! 
I dropped it probably once a day for 2 yrs 
And it still worked! 
I dropped it in a creek in NC and didn't realize it for a few minutes
And it still worked!!! 
The home button wore out but it kept trucking along. 
In fact 
It still works! 
Any way a few months ago I bit the bullet and got the 5s. 
I love it so much! 
I'm someone who uses my phone for everything. My laptop was broken so I was sharing one,
So most of my fun Internet stuff had to be on my phone. 
I have had a lot of apps but here are some of my favorite! 
Instagram. 
Love it! If you have one follow me! @By_j.blogger
Twitter. 
It's an easy way to stay up to date with 
weather, news and celebrities!  
Phonto.
It's a picture app and I love it! 
Dots. 
This game is my jams!
Snapchat. 
Short conversations with my beast friend! 
Befunky.
I just got this photo app and it's awesome! 
Netflix. 
It's netflix enough said! 
Mathway. 
If you are a student you need this math app. 
Pandora.
I love music and I'm seriously considering 
paying for no commercials. 
Dropbox. 
5gb of storage that automatically downloads your pictures
to your computer or tablet! 
These are some of my favorites!
