App review: Frametastic

Posted by Nafisa on Jan 4, 2012 in apple, iPad, iPhone

I downloaded Frametastic a few weeks ago and it is listed (currently) as “free for a limited time” in its description on iTunes. If you are reading this and own any compatible device – iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad (running iOS 4.0 or later), I suggest you download it – you won’t regret it.

What I like about the app is that you can share lots of photos in a single frame. If you use other apps like Instagram or Path, it’s just easier to share a collage than to upload 5 individual photos. Read more…

iOS 5: wireless update

Posted by Nafisa on Nov 11, 2011 in apple, cellular, iPhone, mobile

I got to try one of iOS 5′s new features earlier today – wireless software update, because I left my cable at home. It was very simple, all I had to do was go into Settings > General > Software Update and begin! 

Wireless software updates only work when you’re connected to a WiFi network; not via 3G. You will get a message suggesting you connect to a power source, but that isn’t necessary as it only used 3% of my battery. The update is 44,6MB and shouldn’t take too long to download. Read more…

My iPad portrait

Posted by Nafisa on Aug 2, 2011 in apple, iPad, video

Last month I attended an Apple event at the Eastgate iStore. It was a showcase of what various apps can do – cooking, beauty (make-up and skin), educational and games, to name a few. The one that caught my eye was getting your portrait painted on an iPad. I submitted a photo but didn’t know a video was going to be made! Here is the result:

iHave an iPad

Posted by Nafisa on Apr 30, 2011 in apple, tablet

I received an iPad (64GB WiFi+3G) from my husband yesterday. You know, the day people queued at stores as early as 6am (according to Dion Wired Woodmead) when the iPad 2 went on sale. They had marked down first-gen iPads at crazy prices.

I will use the device for recreation, I honestly can’t see myself working from it. Maybe I’m old school but I prefer taking notes by writing in my Moleskine journal (I know, right?). Read more…

Top 10 iPhone apps

Posted by Nafisa on Mar 8, 2011 in apple, iPhone, mobile

This post was written in response to a post on My Digital Life on what my top iPhone apps were. I’ve not included obvious apps like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. In no order, they are:

1. Dropbox – free

Dropbox lets you sync files between your phone, laptop or PC. It is very handy when I don’t have my cable, I just stick files into Dropbox and it syncs to my Mac immediately. It supports Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android, mobile web. Not sure about BlackBerry. It has a password feature for your phone which is cool. Read more…
