23 Mobile Things Go # 23: Wow this has been very informative. I learned so much. I can continue to explore the apps that I downloaded. Completed the survey. Thanks to all involved. Great learning experience.
23 Mobile Things # 22: I have apps gone free and I think I will download more apps since I have an interest in apps after completing this training.
23 Mobile Things # 21: I have apps gone free and get daily alerts. My most recent download was the YouTube App.
23 Mobile Things: Games
When I searched for Draw Quest it did not come up. That would be a game I would actually play. Who has time to play these games? I did try Temple Run and it was okay.
23 Mobile Things: Hobbies
My older iphone could not support the MyGarden App - too bad since gardening is one of my hobbies. I downloaded Road Ninja it will be useful for summer travels.
23 Mobile Things # 18 Education: I tried to download ArtCircles and it did not download. I really like the Wikipedia App and think patron's would benefit from this App.

23 Mobile Things: # 17 Connecting to Community - This is wonderful. I have downloaded the MN Museums, ExploreMN and 511 MN. I will use all of the Apps this summer while traveling. This number has really got me curious about all the Apps I can apply to my daily life!
23 Mobile Things # 16: Audio - Downloaded SoundCloud and look forward to using this app in the future. This would be a great app to show patron's interested in music. I work at a very busy library and get very little time to play around with the App's. I usually explore them on my own time. This is one I would not use work time to explore.

23 Mobile Things 15: Infographics. I downloaded Infographics App and tried to navigate and explore the App. After a bit I deleted the App, not interested in this App. Not pertinent to my job.

23 Mobile Things: # 14 - Vine App: Tried using this on my older iPhone. Dont' think I will use this much in my professional life. May give it a try when I have something I would like to video.

Mobile Thing # 13: Reviewed Deck Slideshow. I can see how this App could be useful in creating presentations for library use. I am not sure how much I would personally use this App.
Mobile Thing # 12 : Downloaded App iStoryBooks. Found it very easy to use. No password to set up. Just download and go. This App is great for parents and caregivers.

Mobile Thing # 11: Have been using the Hennepin County Library App for a year and find it very helpful and user friendly. Recently downloaded the Carver County App and found it to be useful as well.
Mobile Things # 10: I downloaded Instagram App. It will be more useful than Snap Chat. Maybe I will be inspired to post some spring photos.

Thing # 9: Taking and Editing Photos

I downloaded Line Camera and Color Splurge. My phone was not able to install Photo Editor. I found Line Camera easy to use, I will keep this App. It could be useful. I will delete Color Splurge.

Thing # 8: I have a Facebook account which I rarely use or check. I am hoping this app will encourage me to become social on Facebook. Will spend more time on this app.
Thing # 7: Looked into Pinterest. Had heard a lot about this app. Wow - so much information. I have teacher friends who really like this sight for sharing lesson plans and ideas. Would defiantly  recommend this app to patrons or students looking for ideas.

Mobile Thing # 6: My I phone is too old to download the apps offered. I did take a fellow bloggers advice and downloaded the Goodreads app. I love this app. It pertains to my job and I will talk to patron's about Goodreads benefits. On to # 7.
