Instagram - Update

It's been a little while since we've seen an update but today adds some great new features: 

Photo's on a map: geocoded images will now show up on a map, with your permission of course. This can be found on the redesigned profile screen. 

Another big feature is you now have infinite scrolling on your photo feeds! 

I was hoping to see a couple new filters added but unfortunately not this time around. 

If you've updated, leave me a comment on what you think.

Carousel - $1.99

Carousel is a stand alone Mac app for all you Instagram lovers out there. Upon launching the app you instantly get an elegant twitter-esque feel with it's scrolling timeline. Complete with built in shortcuts you can view the images larger, comment and of course heart them right there in the timeline. Sorry, there isn't an upload option, but then again it's supposed to be a mobile app anyway, right? In addition you can also view other users who liked the image as well as seamlessly view their timeline. I can already hear you, do I really need another IG viewer, and why would I want to pay for a viewer when there are websites out there that let me view for free?
Remember how I told you Carousel has a scrolling timeline, well it also has notifications letting you know when new images have arrived in your feed. Let me take that one step further. Let's say you haven't opened Instagram in awhile and you're trying to get caught up on all the goodness in your timeline only to find out IG won't let you load anymore images. As long as you have Carousel open in the background it's continually updating all your new posts while still sitting on the last post you viewed, all you have to do is scroll up. 
Carousel is a great minimal app for your mac that gets the job done.
Here is a free 15 day trial: www.carousel.mobileux.com

Buy Me a Pie - $2.99

Notepads, sticky notes, sticky pads, and post its (which i should point out i did not invent) everywhere with scribbled reminders to get ziplock baggies and coffee creamer, gahh!

I wanted an app that would sync with several devices and even more important I wanted to get that satisfaction of crossing something off my list.

Then I found it, it's called Buy Me a Pie.

Create lists on my iDevice AND online, CHECK!

Sync with multiple devices, CHECK!

Pre-populated items for faster typing, CHECK!

But wait, what about crossing things off the list? wait for it.. HECK YES!

I should also mention that you can even add amounts to your ingredients if you're doing specific or light shopping. Want another perk? Think about all those trees you're saving!

Permissions - Free!

Security security security!
I like to try a lot of different apps to see how they perform and along with trying these apps they usually ask for permission to access my personal information. If I don't think the app is worthy, it gets deleted and I move on. Unfortunately just deleting an app will not remove the permission you granted it.
Luckily for us, there is a new free app called Permissions.
After installing, if you give it permission it will scan all the big dogs such as facebook, instagram, twitter, google, flickr and several more. I was a little surprised to see the long list of authorized applications I had given the thumbs up to use my info. Permissions being the awesome app it is also has the revoke access button, allowing you to immediately revoke the app in question's access immediately.
This app also has internet access at mypermissions.com, which is subscription based.
