Dear Forever,
Remember when people would speak about apps and they meant stuff like salmon canapés?
But now people speak about apps and they mean the application software available for their various technology.
Bossy doesn’t have many applications on her iPhone, which is one reason Bossy refers to it as her iPhobe. But Bossy does want to tell you about her new favorite app, Camera+.
And Bossy knows what you’re thinking. You’re thinking Enough with the photos that are manipulated to look as though they came from Bossy’s grandfather’s cigar box!
Bossy loves her other camera apps, such as Hipstamatic — but Camera+ allows you to take the photo first and then apply tricks and changes in the editing process, including cropping, lighting adjustments, and various framing options.
Bossy can sum up her favorite apps in this way: Maps, weather, and that’s about it. Four words for sale.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you help broaden Bossy’s horizons by telling her about your favorite apps?
And be sure to check back later today for the best app suggestions on the web.

7 Words has provided hours of fun for my family !
IMHO Camera+ is the best camera app – and I’ve tried a lot of them. I use Camera+ and then post with Instagram. I also use Things for both my phone and laptop to stay organized … more costly than some productivity apps, but worth every penny because it keeps my life together for me. Yelp is awesome (used it in San Diego to find Thai food.) Twitter/FB/G+ Was this supposed to only be 10 words? I think I need an app for that …..! (xo miss you!)
Dont own a smartphone, so I know nothing of apps. 🙁
(i’m assuming the sad face doesn’t count as a word)
HUGS….
Sorry but I only have BlackBerry apps on my phone.
Angry Birds: smashing pigs feels good. Whole family (-dad) agrees!
Fandango for movie tix; Starbucks you can pay from phone which is fun; opentable for dinner reservations; yelp for whe on road and need to find businesses; epicurious for food porn. Sorry exceeded 10 word limit but this was important.
I’m still on board with the canapes as a fave app.
–>Instagram. Echophone. Facebook. WordsWithFriends – I’m debthaxton for each.
No SmartPhone, but Bossy can borrow my 1952 Kodak Brownie.
Click.
Words with Friends. Words and Friends are sadly not included.
Total Baby to track of Sam’s feedings and diaper changes. Bookworm is my favorite addictive game. Foodgawker for recipes. I’m still searching for the perfect grocery list app – haven’t found it. Starbucks app, of course. Sorry I never follow the “ten words or less” rule!
Tripit.
DropBox.
Barcode Reader.

PS: I love Starbucks lemon cake wayyy too much, as evidenced by my big ol’ lemon-yellow ass.
Qrank on my iTouch, because I love, love, love me some trivia. I wish they made it for Android.
And on my Android… I’m embarrassed to say that I love Yahtzee (and have invented THREE Yahtzee variations, just to keep things interesting) and Shortz (crossword puzzles from a bunch of sources) and OverDrive, through which I can download library books FOR FREEEEEEE yay. This makes me very happy when I travel, and even more, when I stumble to the bathroom in the middle of the night, using my phone as a flashlight, and find myself in the loo for, er, a bit longer than expected.
@Lauren Have you tried Shop Shop for grocery lists? It’s really simple but I like it. And it’s free.
No iphone – no apps. I know not of what you speak.

Also like Data Vault Password Manager – no more tiny scraps of paper with indecipherable scribbles.
And Springpad. I love lists, I love Springpad – syncs with desktop and is muy awesome for keeping track what size underwear my husband needs.
PS – am absolutely NOT checking out the undiagnosed symptoms discussion. Gah. Gives me the shivers just imagining it.
I think apps is a four letter word. Outside my vocabulary.
no smart phone no apps but I’d love some rumaki
Only person in world without cell phone = no apps
And I love being unavailable
Star Chart unveils the night sky to Ridgecrest desert dwellers.
Completely app-less. Not as sad as it might sound, mostly.
Pandora and radio apps (helps me virtually escape the Midwest!)
@Ami ShopShop is not on the Mac (desktop/laptop) app store – only for iPhone and iPad (through iTunes or the App Store on your device). I just checked to make sure it’s there, and it is.
Don’t have an iphone, apps are too cool for me.

Apps are for people with too much time on their hands. Pass the canapes, please.
(Will you be doing another “tour” this year? We really enjoyed meeting you in Houston during the “No Book”.)
