Recommend a smartphone app!

My app recommendation is an app called Eyeem

Eyeem is a platform for people to share photographs with the main audience being photographers.

You are able to share your photos and like and comment on the photos like you can on other social media platforms and you can also follow each other.

The app also has an in built photo editor that you can use before you submit your photos.

Once you have uploaded, edited and tagged your photos you have the opportunity to submit any photos for review to be placed on the Eyeem marketplace for sale to potentially earn money. Then the Eyeem team will review your picture and if it's accepted it goes on the marketplace.

The app is also a good place to be able to connect with other photographers and be able to look at each others work which could help improve your own work.

They also to photography competitions at times.

Eyeem also has a partnership with Getty images so there's a chance that the photos will be selected for that as well.

I have been enjoying using this app and I even had a few photos selected for the marketplace and as a fairly new person in the photography world it gave me a great sense of achievement, I would recommend this app to anyone that has a interest in photography.

I’d recommend everyone gets and uses DreamLab, it’s an app that you use when you are charging your phone and it uses you phones number crunching power along with many other users to create a sort of hive mind super computer to help find cures and treatments for cancer and covid. Cannot recommend this enough to people and I have been using it for years now and put it on every night when my phone is charging so I’m doing some good whilst I sleep! ❤️ if anyone has had cancer impact their family or friends they will know we need to find a cure asap which is why I use this on my phone whenever I can, it’s just part of my daily habit now. You should too 💪

Personal Safety - Apps on Google Play

Quickly connect to help in an emergency.

I always install a personal safety app on my phone. While there are many alternatives, they all serve the same essential purpose: protecting you. Statistics show that 1 in 3 women experience harassment or stalking, and every 5th woman could be a victim of rape or assault.

These types of apps allow you to quickly or even automatically alert emergency services or trusted contacts when you need help. Sometimes, just revealing that an alert with a photo and coordinates has already been sent can potentially prevent any further harmful actions.

So whenever I get a new phone, the first app I download is called Wifi Analyzer, due to my work and of course content creation, I often use my phone on both when either on site or simply recording videos of IRL stuff, so the strength of my signal and where I am, whether it is secure or not, is very important to me.

This app gives me all the know-how and details I need to know before I go ahead and access certain information, servers etc.

Below are screenshots of the app's ability to read the info I need.

As you can see, I can gain a tremendous amount of information about security, location, connection, all of it, plus speed tests and much, much more.

You can find the app here!

Flightradar24

A must-have app for travellers and airplane enthusiasts., with plenty of free features. This is my main app to track my flight when going somewhere, as often airport information screens or even the airline apps are not reliable, especially when something is delayed. With this app you will see the aircraft registration number as well so you can follow where it has been and where it's going after your flight. This is very helpful when your flight is delayed due to waiting for an inbound flight, or if a replacement aircraft is being sent, you can easily track its route with this app.

One paid function is an identify the plane feature. You point your camera up to the sky, and the app will identify the airplane you spotted. The other interesting paid feature will also give you weather reports so you can check your flight route to see if you can expect any turbulences or rough landings
