# 9 Taking and Editing Photos

I would love to try all the suggested apps, they all sound pretty cool! But I will download 1 for now, and give it a try. I downloaded LINE camera. I edited a photo that was already on my device, cropped it, put a frame around it, and tried to share on my Blog, well that did not work....By the end of my 23 Mobile Things you should be able to see it on my blog! (I'm hoping). I was not thrilled with the app, so I will also download the "Photo Editor" app and see if I like that one better, as I love enhancing my photos, especially the ones of my grandchildren!!

# 8 Social Media Management Tools

Social Media sites that I have an account with are: Facebook, (which usually I look at daily), Google +, (which I just started using and discovering more of its options) and LinkedIn, (which I seldom sign in to, as I need to learn more about this app.
I planned on downloading the "Cloze" app, but after looking at some of the reviews, I chose not to venture with this app, sounds like it may have some problems.  I did download "HootSuite", created and account and connected my Facebook account to it. Could be something that I may use on a daily base, but need to play around with it to figure out all it's features!!

# 7 Content Saving & Sharing

I was pretty excited when I saw what was under Content Saving and Sharing..I thought, this is one project that I actually know something about.  Pinterest...I have 39 Boards, 644 pins, 30 followers,and 74 following. I follow friends, Libraries, Magazines...I love this app and have found many, many projects that may take me years to complete! My favorite is the recipes!!!

# 6 Creating & Editing Docs

I chose to discover "CloudOn" for my app.
I downloaded the app, and set up an account. I did not have a "Dropbox" account so went ahead and set one up...then I realized that I must have a "GoogleDrive" account, so also set that up. I did have a couple documents in my Google Drive that appeared in my "CloudOn" app. Interesting...this should be great as I do not log on to my home computer as much now, since I have my Nexus. This should be a great app,being able to bring up documents that I type on my home computer...I am learning so much!!!

# 5 Notetaking

My choice for this task was "Springpad"
What a good choice...Couldn't ask for a better scrapbook-style task managing checklist - making app. This app can do just about anything. I just added some titles that I want to read in the future to "My Books"  Now I will not forget the titles, like I normally do...great app!! I will give it 5 stars!

Love This....


# 4 Keeping up..

I downloaded "ZITE" the Smart Personal Magazine.
This app was definitely easy to set up.
Loved the choice of topics to pick from...since I am into fitness, healthy foods, decorating, crafts and of course books, the topics I chose were: Healthy Living, movies, fitness, books, home decorating, crafts and movie reviews. Wow, the information on the topics I selected was great, and amazed as how fast the info was there for me to read. Now I can spend hours reading up on what interests me. This is definitely one App that I will keep on my Nexus.  A big "Thumbs Up"!

# 3...Utilities

I love the Google Search app, I use it all the time on my Nexus 7. I have just discovered the Google+, and am currently uploading my pictures.  Since I am familiar with the Google app, I chose to do some research on the "Google Goggles" app. I downloaded the app, but have no front - facing camera, so it is kinda hard to take pictures. I played around with it taking pictures of barcodes etc. It seems to be a very interesting app, and will definitely play around with this one...So much we do not know!!!!
