Let's talk about apps, baby...

My Scrap like a SugarBabe is up in the tutorial section and I'm talking about some of my favorite memory keeping apps... what apps do you use to help remember the details until you scrapbook?

Great article! I only use the Notes App to jot down stories I want to tell.

I play Township... does that count? No seriously... when you said favorite apps... I got really excited!

In all seriousness though, awesome article Rebecca! I'm a huge fan of Aviary for photos and I adore Evernote for storing clips and notes on just about everything. I planned our entire trip to Europe last year using it and it ended up being a catch all for all sorts of things regarding the trip!

I am using the Journey app (ANDROID FRIENDLY! AND FREE!) for my Countdown to Christmas album this year in hopes that I will then be in the habit so I can use it for PL in 2017.

You can have it send you a daily reminder to journal and then attach locations, the weather, multiple photos, etc. to that entry.

You can also use it with Chrome:

I use some of the ones you mentioned, like Instaweather and screenshots of things I want to include in my albums. If I had an iPhone, there are a few more you mentioned that I'd start using!

My memory stinks--one of the main reasons I started scrapping was because I knew I wouldn't remember months or years later what was happening in a given photo, what cute thing someone said or did, etc. So my favorite go-to app is Diaro. It's just a journaling app that I'm in the habit of using, so almost all of the information I journal on my pages comes straight from my Diaro entries.

I commented on the blog post, but I don't think it ever showed up. Just wanted to say I LOVED that post, Rebecca! I am obsessed with finding fun, new apps, and while I'm already using several of the ones you mentioned (InstaWeather, InstaPlace, Collect, etc), there were a few that really caught my eye. I'm most interested in Photmyne since most of the photos I have from when Logan was a baby need to be scanned, and let's be honest. Ain't nobody got time for that. I did some research, and apparently there's a similar app called PhotoScan that's currently free. I'm planning to download that one and give it a try. Thanks so much for all the awesome recommendations!
