Apps I Swear By

My Top 8 Free Apps

1. Calorie Counter 
by FatSecret

I just downloaded this app and I'm beyond impressed. This app comes with a food diary, an exercise diary, a weight tracker along with a barcode to scan food and a bazillion healthy recipes and meal ideas, its very involved yet easy to manage. You can set up an account and it saves all your information. Its very useful, very insightful and quite the tool to have when trying to lose weight.
My Rating: 5/5


2. Fooducate-  Healthy Food Diet
I like this app because if you dont know the trick to reading food labels (trust me, it takes skill) this app is for you. Food labels have a tendency of tricking people into thinking what were eating is better for our health than what it really is. Scan the bar code and it tells you the truth about what your really eating! 
My rating 4.5/5 

3. Chase 
Obviously if you don't have an account with Chase, this app is not for you. But if you do this app lets you take a picture of any check with your smart phone and deposit it, you can pay bills, check your statements and transfer money. So handy, just make sure it is the real chase app and not a scam because unfortunately people will try to steal your money through false apps.
My Rating: 4.5/5
 
4. Instagram
Such a kick ass app, a picture sharing template that allows you to slightly customize pictures and post them to your page. You can add hash tags, comment on pictures and "<3" pictures too. So if you enjoy taking and sharing pictures without all the facebook drama, this app is for you
My Rating: 4.5/5 

5. Sticky
by Sanzui 
Sticky notes are convenient if you need to jot something down, you can customize the size and color of the font along with color and texture and opacity of the background, you can sync it to your Google and Twitter! It's widgetable of course, because i just love my widgets .
My Rating: 4/5

6. Business Calender Free
by Appgenix Software Free-
I'm an organizer and I love this calender because it is very customizable, easy to manage and synchronizes with your Google account, as any app should. It makes an attractive and efficient widget so all I have to do is slide over to my second screen and see all the events I have scheduled on a monthly calender, or weekly if your a bit busier.
My Rating: 4.5/5 

7. Pandora
Anyone who loves music, or works out, or is human at all enjoys listening to music to pass the time or get pumped up, I wouldn't be able to work out without my pitbull station. Most people are familiar with Pandora but just in case your not, this app is nice because you can pick a genre or type in an artist and Pandora will play music from that artist and other music similar to. There are occasional adds and sometimes takes a few minutes to load between songs, but i recommend it. 
My Rating 3.5/5

8. Pinterest
I will forever be thankful to the creators of Pinterest, I don't think there's a actual pinterest app, but i needed to add this. How brilliant of an idea, pinning recipes, vacation locations, makeup tricks, hair tricks, home decorations, home made remedies and pretty much anything else you can think of, and sharing it with the world! Found an awesome stain lifter online? pin it and share it with the world. You can add comments, follow others pins and "like" posts. I highly suggest it
