Hello wonderful readers! It’s time for another massive giveaway brought to you by Angie from My So-Called Chaos, myself, and a few other fabulous bloggers who’ve joined us this month. For the prize this month, she’s chosen to give one lucky winner an iPad Mini and a Kate Spade Cedar Street Keyboard Folio. Before we get down to the prize, the prize sponsors have been asked to share what their favorite app is on their mobile device, and why. I love this question because it gives us an idea of what apps or social networks to pay attention to, as well as recommendations we should try for ourselves!
What is Your Favorite Mobile App?
Answer: A Social Media App

“I love Twitter. I can keep up with friends and the news all in one easy place.” – Jen from Injenious Life
Snapchat

“Snapchat! I love that I can be a little more goofy and interact one on one with followers. Life isn’t a perfectly edited photo and with snapchat you get to see the real side.” – January from The Bouncy Ponytail

“Instagram because a picture is worth a thousand words.” – Linda from Brunch ‘N Bites

“My Facebook App because it keeps me easily connected to friends and groups.” – Jessica from Two Married Geeks
“I have to admit it is Facebook, I am such a nosey so and so, I love being able to keep up with everyone’s goings on while I am on the move.” – Sarah of Life in a Breakdown

Photo Editing

“VSCO– best photo editor app!” – Sylvie from Sylvie in the Sky

“Mextures. I love using it to edit and add some creativity to my photos.” – Brianne of Everyday Runaway
“PicTapGo – it makes editing photos easy! I especially love the preview it gives of each filter, so I can identify what I want the picture to look like even if I can’t describe it.”
Answer: Other Apps
“Besides the usual social media apps, I find myself clicking on this app called Neko Atsume at least a couple of times a day. How to describe it… hmm. Well, it’s a ridiculous little cat game where you set out food and toys in hopes of attracting cats to your yard. They show up, eat food, play with the toys, and they have cute little butt holes. That’s reason enough, right? I swear, I’m not crazy…” – Kimi from Kimi Who
“I’ve been HUGELY addicted to the Covet Fashion app for some reason. It’s kind of embarrassing, but I can’t stop creating outfits. I even spent a couple bucks on it.” – Anna from Anna in Wonderland
“My favorite app is my Kindle app. I love being able to carry a million books right on my phone!” – Alicia of Snowstorm
“MLB app or Disneyland app. I am obsessed with Disneyland and the St Cardinals.” – Dianna of Whatever Dee-Dee Wants

I would love to win because I don't have an iPad or any other type of portable device like it. Wait, does a Kindle count? My husband and I share one that was my Mama's before she passed away.
