Fun App for iPhones

Thanks to a post by Kayla Lameroux over at DigiScrap101, I have a new, fun photography app for my iPhone. It's called Notica. As you can see above, you can write notes onto the photo card. Plus it's date/time stamped. It can also be location stamped. In the upper left corner is the group this card is in. Basically, you can have stacks of cards on different topics.

You can save either the card or just the photo to the camera roll, and hence they appear on your Photo Stream. You can also upload directly to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, but not Flickr, unfortunately.

Here's one caveat - the photos aren't large, so it isn't a place to take all your photos. But it's a great place for, say, a digital Inspiration File! As you can see by what's in the photo above, I'm taking the class TWELVE over at Big Picture Classes with Stacy Julian, who is one of the best teachers for scrapbooking anywhere on the planet in my opinion. She has a gift for getting organized in a fun way so you can really enjoy scrapping and not be overwhelmed.

Anyway, back to the app. The cards, when I open them in PSE9, are about 1.5 x 3 in. at 300ppi. When you save just the photo, it is about 3x3 at 300ppi.

However, you can also import a photo from your camera roll and turn it into a card. That way you can have the card, and still keep the larger, higher quality photo. I plan on doing a lot of this on my almost-here trip. This is going to be a great way to note the name of the restaurant, for instance, or who is in the picture. I plan on taking the photos with my iPhone camera, then making notes every evening, if not sooner. Fun! I'll post some on Twitter and maybe a few on Facebook while I'm gone. That is, if there's any time available. I took a good look at the schedule yesterday, and it's crazy busy!
