Geekyfantastic Apps (inspired by @WilloToons)

gravesy says: I put a call out to friends on recommendations of new apps (coincidentally, so did @JessicaDally :)). Leave it to Willo to answer the call! Here's a sampling of her picks.
Note: The apps are from her list, the commentary is from me. And Geekyfantastic is her awesome word (that is also available in t-shirt form). :)
CameraPlus. Agree with Willo, quickly becoming my favorite photo app. I personally love the quadrants to help guide your picture area and ton of features that help improve lighting and colors. Lots of fun special effects, cropping, and a stabilizer.
Big Words For ordering drinks at a loud bar and other fun random uses. Willo has also cleverly used Big Words to type her contact info and made it her Lock Screen (via screen capture). Read, people know who contact if they find her phone. (And I have been with her on one such occasion.) Brilliant!
Boxcar Boxcar sends you push notifications, alerting you to mentions on Twitter and Facebook. Especially useful at events.
Evernote I'm becoming more and more of a fan! Great and free way to capture, organize, and track notes, websites, pictures, etc.
Thanks, Kristy! Just one note, however, is that the link above is for the wrong CameraPlus. The one I have is Camplus made my TapTapTap - http://campl.us - but it was just pulled out of the App store for having an (awesome) easter egg that enabled users to snap a photo with the volume button. (I was able to unlock it & it's so rad :) But I'm sure it'll be back in there soon.
