So many people simply drop into bed at night and fall into a deep sleep. Not me! First of all, I stay up way too late, thinking, working, writing. When I finally force myself to turn off the light, it's usually past midnight (meaning I get a whopping 6 hours sleep nightly)! But the real problem is that by the time lights are out, my brain is whirring too fast to sleep. I need to wind down somehow. Enter 300 Sleep Relax Sounds : Melodies : Brainwaves. This app improves your sleeping habits and has several training features to correct things about your resting and memory issues. Here are a some of the many features of this iPhone sleep and relaxation app:

Image Blender

2013-05-17T19:36:00.000-04:00

Developer Quote: "Image Blender is a simple and clean iPhone and iPad app with a single purpose, blending together images. You can use multiple blending modes (like Multiply, Overlay, Screen and many more), move, rotate, resize and mask the top image."

- COST: 99 cents - APP STORE STARS: 4-1/2
- Categories: Photo, Photo Effects, Photo and Video, Universal

Always on the look out for a photo editor to improve on my photographic skills (or lack thereof), I came across Image Blender. Rather than producing gaudy, over-processed pics, this app will help achieve a simple yet clever effect to photos. It's not hard at all to use either. Just select two photos, then use the slider to determine the correct amount of each pic that you want mixed (or blended) together, and there you have the perfect composition! Take a look at some of the functions and effects of this iPhone, iPad photo effects and manipulation app:

- 18 modes for blending images
- Add a selection of the top layer by marking in/out what you want
- Move around, resize and rotate your top image
- JPEG/PNG/GIF/TIFF support
- No resolution limits
- PhotoAppLink support
- Pasteboard support
- Fast real-time preview
- Camera+ support
- Pogo Connect support
- GIF frame picker

When you play around with Image Blender, remember that tapping is not the only action to produce results, but you may also tap and hold to obtain various effects. You'll begin your creation in Blend mode, and enjoy an uncomplicated screen in which to work. Choose your two images and the method of blending you prefer, then use the slider bar to move your photos into the work area. Tap anywhere on the image so that an edit menu will appear to change the background/foreground, overlay, lighting and more. Also use Arrange and Mask mode to finalize your work. You'll be amazed at how your photos acquire a whole new meaning!

COOL CONCLUSION: Use Image Blender when you intend to produce a unique, yet elegant mixed blend of two of your favorite photos using simple yet effective techniques.

Amazon Cloud Drive Photos

2013-05-16T20:56:00.002-04:00

Developer Quote: "Protect and store all of your photos in one place with Amazon Cloud Drive Photos."

- COST: FREE - APP STORE STARS: 3 1/2
- Categories: Photos, Photo and Video, Storage

If you store all your precious photos and videos on your phone, you may be living a bit too dangerously. The loss of your device, by whatever means, theft, misplacing it, breakage, etc., can mean the loss of all of your treasured memories. That's a disaster just waiting for an opportunity to happen.

Not only that, but storing everything locally on your device takes up a lot of storage space, which you may not have to throw around. How many of us find that we can't even do an update of iOS when they come around because there's not enough room on our phones? (Ashamed to say, but guilty as charged!)

The smart thing to do is to have your photos all backed up and stored in the cloud, and Amazon Cloud Drive Photos makes that so easy.

Check out some of the features of this iPhone cloud storage app:

• Store and secure thousands of photos in your Amazon Cloud Drive

• Protect your memories – photos from your iPhone or iPod touch are automatically saved to Cloud Drive whenever the app is running

• Have access to your entire photo collection in the Amazon Cloud, even those that aren’t in your Camera Roll

• View your photo albums in stunning layouts from your iPhone or iPod touch

• Share your Cloud Drive photos on Facebook, Twitter, and through e-mail

COOL CONCLUSION: Don't tempt fate by storing all your too-valuable-to-survive-the-loss-of photos and videos. Act now to keep them safe by getting Amazon Cloud Drive Photos.

Learn Spanish - Brainscape

2013-05-09T09:45:00.001-04:00

Developer Quote: "Did you know that you may be wasting a huge portion of your time learning Spanish due to inefficient learning methods? Let me tell you how you can learn FASTER with Learn Spanish - Brainscape."

- COST: Free - APP STORE STARS: 5
- Categories: Education, Languages, Lifestyle, Travel

Speaking one or more foreign languages is a necessity. The world has been opened to us with travel, and so people of other nationalities live in our own native countries. Additionally, we also travel for business or pleasure overseas. If you plan on travel to a Spanish speaking country for any reason, then take the time now to grab Learn Spanish - Brainscape while it is free.

What is the theory behind Brainscape's app, using Intelligent Cumulative Exposure (ICE:)

- The system of introducing concepts incrementally, at gradually increasing difficulty in the context of REAL sentences
- Repeating the tough concepts in the right intervals of time based on YOUR confidence levels
- Explaining grammatical nuances in PLAIN ENGLISH rather than hoping to simply “figure them out” through immersion.
- Building your actual sentence-forming skills from the ground up
- A program tailored by learning scientists from Columbia and Yale Universities who have spent the past TWO YEARS developing a complete, scientifically optimized Spanish curriculum

With Learn Spanish - Brainscape find the following educational and helpful language learning features on iPhone:

· A carefully tailored curriculum that builds on previous concepts and guides you from beginner to conversational at your own pace
· The equivalent of TWO YEARS' WORTH of high school Spanish classes
· Over 6,000 AUDIO flashcards for the most common Spanish words, phrases, and sentence constructions, including a BONUS section on Business Spanish
· Simple explanations for key grammatical concepts and the most common verb conjugations
· Convenient “browse” and “search” functions that allow you to easily find cards you want
· Ongoing feedback, statistics, and visualization tools to help you track your progress
· A network of thousands of other learners who support each other’s learning every day

This language app utilizes the ICE method which means Intelligent Cumulative Exposure. Use this technique to work on your sentence skills so that you can communicate effectively when you travel because a word here or there won't really help you at all! Speak your thoughts and ideas in entirety after using Learn Spanish, or the efficiency and power of your words will be lost.

COOL CONCLUSION: Use Learn Spanish - Brainscape to more efficiently infuse a foreign language into your list of accomplishments.

--Date/Version: Updated 11/28/12 - Version 2.20121121

Clickberry Tagger

2013-05-08T08:16:00.000-04:00

Developer Quote: "Clickberry Tagger is The ONLY app for tagging and sharing objects and people on video!"

- COST: Free - APP STORE STARS: Not Yet Rated
- Categories: Entertainment, Photo & Video, Social Networking, Videos

We’re probably all pretty familiar with the fun of tagging our friends in photos because of often using this feature in Facebook. You know what I'm talking about? You upload a photo, click on a friend’s face, then add his or her name, which links to that same friend's profile. Your friend is instantly notified that they have been tagged in a photo. Let me ask you this though. Have you ever tagged a friend in a video? I didn’t even know that was possible! Now you can do that and a lot more with ClickBerry Tagger! Yes, you heard right - you can tag videos! So what could be more personal and interactive than that?

ClickBerry Tagger is a truly unique and innovative iOS app that makes it not only possible, but so easy, to add tags within videos themselves. You can tag your friends in videos. While you're at it, don't forget to tag yourself! Tag meaningful objects or special moments. But wait there's more... You can also insert text notes and "Likes". And this is all inside the video! Let's get down to basics to see just what features this clever and one-of-a-kind iPhone interactive video tagging app can do:

- Tag friends and objects inside the video
Tap your screen to tag: memorable moments, objects, yourself or Facebook friends
Add text to a friend's profile

- Leave notes and profile links in the video
Tap to keep tabs, place Likes and comments on your friends' tags

- Share the best moments of your videos
Created tags are easily shared on Facebook or Twitter
Tag to show only what you think is the best part of the video

- Comment and place likes in the video
Comments left on Facebook and Likes to tags go right to Tagger

- Keep treasured memories
Leave tags on a video like bookmarks in order to find that special moment

How does it work? It’s incredibly simple, but also amazingly fun. You’ll be adding tags to all your videos in minutes and won’t be able to stop. You open the app on your phone, then either shoot some video right away or choose an existing video from your phone’s gallery. While you play the video back, just tap anywhere in the frame and you’ll see a pop-up giving you the choice of tagging a friend from your contacts or adding a text tag. Once you’ve added your friend or text, you can share the tag to Facebook or Twitter. What could be easier?

So as an example, let's talk about making a prom night video because some of you may have kids interested in capturing that night's special moments. Thousands of beautiful girls and handsome beaus are dolling it up for that big, social night. It's a great time for guys and gals to ogle their friends and see just how attractive they look all cleaned up! Shoot the video, tag Facebook friends at the prom, add text next to a specific person (perhaps commenting on their outfits), remark on the DJ or appetizers, then share your video to Facebook. Did you capture a special moment when the prom king or queen was crowned? Tag it to leave a type of bookmark to quickly access that highlight. Quite frankly, that one video will say in perhaps 12 seconds everything important about that night! Just watch your friends' comments come pouring in! When was the last time you had so much fun creating a video?

Let's highlight some cool features. When your friends or Twitter followers watch the video, they’ll see your tags and be able to Like or comment on them. All of their Likes and comments are added to the Tagger video! An added bonus of the app is the ability to use your tags like bookmarks. You won’t have to tell your friends, “That’s me on the left because the tags will take them right to the spot!

This is definitely one of those, “Why didn’t I think of that?” ingenious apps that you’ll use constantly, not only when you tag your own videos, but when you get to enjoy tags, likes and comments from your friends’ videos as well!

COOL CONCLUSION: ClickBerry Tagger lets you interact in a totally unique way with your videos to create a buzz on Facebook or Twitter, letting you add text and tag friends to keep the fun and comments rolling!

--Date/Version: Updated 5/3/13 - Version 1.5
