The Day I Was Born
Just in time for Valentine’s Day I thought I’d do a review of Flowers, Just2Me $0.99. There is a free version of the app which is the same other than it includes ads and limits you to three downloads and one email per day. When you launch the app you are taken to the first picture which then rotates every few seconds. At anytime you can double tap to pause so you can look at the current picture longer and double tap again to proceed. All pictures can be pinched to zoom. Tapping once brings up the control panel where you can set the photo refresh interval. As seen here on the right, the single tap also gives you three green buttons on the bottom with the options to “thumbs up” a photo, download to your camera roll or email. When you tap the email button a pop-up appears where you can type your name and a message. FlowersNow, I think this is great for friends and maybe relatives, but I’m not sure your wife or girlfriend will appreciate eFlowers as opposed to the real thing. At least not on Valentine’s Day. So you’ve been warned. I like to live dangerously so I’m sending my wife these with the line, “Real flowers die in a week, but like my love 4 you, digital ones last forever!” This can be seen as romantic, cheesy or my wife will probably interpert it as my typical B.S. Anyway, after you tap send you exit the app and the Mail app launches. It sends the email with a link that when the recepient opens shows the picture and message in full monitor size. It looks even better there.So if you forget to do something Sunday or some other special day like maybe her birthday, download this app and maybe just maybe get yourself out of the doghouse and into the garage – it’s cold and snowy out there lately.
