Kawaii Picture Apps

So I'm a complete sucker for photo apps on my iPhone... but normally I suck at creating anything worth sharing. I've been getting a little better and I thought I would share my latest creation.. (if you've seen my twitter profile, then you've already seen the finished product!)

hahaha... crazy right??

Apps Used :: RAKUGA-cute, Camera+, PicFrame & Instagram

KDrama App :: SBS Hidden Catch

I love my kdramas when I found this I just had to share!

SBS Hidden Catch

This app is pretty simple. All you have to do is find the differences between the two kdrama (and even variety show) scenes given.Before you start a game it lets you select which level you want [Easy, Normal, Hard] and even on the easy level I thought it was kinda hard >_< You can zoom in & out but must find all the differences before time runs out.

While this app really isn't anything new or innovative, I really like the fact that you have to find the difference between kdrama scenes. lol. If you get tired of the free version, you can always buy different drama "packs" (there's a City Hunter Pack, Athena Pack, Protect Boss, etc).. anyways I though this was a neat app. Had to share!

 

oPop!gasa

Here is a quick app that I wanted to share!

So thanks to American K-Pop Fans I have discovered a pretty cool iPhone app called Pop!gasa. Pop!gasa is an app that has your the lyrics to your favorite K-Pop song in English.

While their selection isn't the biggest, its got potential. A lot of current songs are listed and I am sure more will be added and since its a free app you really can't complain.

Cool right? [click here to go to iTunes to download]

Where I Watch Kdramas

When it comes to watching kdrama there are only two sites that I go to Viki.com or DramaFever.  I used to watch dramas only on Viki.com because it was simply the only place I knew I could find a big selection of kdramas subtitled in English [though they have kdramas subtitled in a TON of languages on Viki.com, not just English] but I have since discovered another site, Dramafever.

 Another bonus of Viki.com is that you can choose to have commentary subtitles on while you watch the drama. (you can turn this feature off if you want)

While initially this might seem like an overwhelming amount of text, its actually rather nice since it gives you the feeling that you're watching the drama with a friend who is saying the very things your thinking!

Whats more is that Viki has an app where you can watch some of your favorite kdramas on the go! [click here to see it in the App Store]

Lately though Viki has been freezing up quite a bit and the commercials that they run can be as long as 1 min 30 seconds [it might not seem long but when something juicy is happening it can seem like a lifetime!] This is why I have been migrating over to Dramafever.

Just like with Viki, the have an amazing selection and even an option to upgrade your membership (basic membership is free) to premium in order to watch your favorite kdramas commercial free! While the basic membership still requires you to watch commercials, its much less frustrating because they only last 30 seconds and you know when one is coming up.

While Dramafever doesn't yet have an app out yet it looks like they are in the process of getting one out but they do have a widget! I just posted it on my blog, feel free to check it out!

**Revision 12/9/11**

I totally forgot to the mention two other places you can watch Kdramas! Netflix & Hulu!! Netflix doesn't really have a huge selection but they do have some [BOF, City Hunter, Lie to Me etc.] Hulu, also streams Kdramas yet they get their videos from Dramafever so its kinda the same thing as watching on Dramafever. 

So hopefully there won't come a day when you find yourself at a loss for finding a site to watch good kdramas =] Happy watching!

Hottest Apps from Around the World

Have you ever wondered what the top selling/hottest apps are in another country other than your own? You could always change you country in the App Store but that can be somewhat frustrating and hard to navigate if you don't know the language...not to worry! I have found a solution for you!

App Annie

I just recently discovered AppAnnie and I can't get enough! Once you're at their homepage simply click on the "Store Stats" button on the menu bar, which will then lead you a grid of the top paying, top free, and top grossing apps.

 

Everything on the grid is pretty easy to read. It gives the app's rank, whether or not its a paid app or not (denoted by the $) and whether or not the app has risen or fallen in ranking.  Now the fun part....picking a country!

Don't see the country you're looking for? Just click "more stores!"

If there's an App store... AppAnnie has it

Using this site I have found some pretty cool photo apps from South Korea.. So go explore what's hot from all over the world! I found this site helpful and hopefully you can too.
