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.

Still More Kawaii IPhone Apps

Its about that time again! Here are a few of my recent downloads that I wanted to share! You can see my other posts about Kawaii IPhone apps by clicking here and here...

First up

Happy Crap

$.99

Okay so I didn't download this app but if this isn't kawaii I don't know what is.  They managed to take something totally gross and make it kinda cute. Lol. Anyways I thought I would still share it.

Julius Hearts Cupcakes!

$1.99

 

So cute right? Basically all you have to do is decorate cupcakes. You can post your creations to Facebook or Twitter and for each on you do you earn points which unlock more cute ingredients...

TextPics

$.99

I actually use this app a lot. Whether posting on Facebook for someone's birthday or sending a text to my husband I like this app. It can make a simple text message that much girlie and cute.  The best part is most people wouldn't even think that you got these cute pictures from an IPhone app!

That's it for now... till next time!

More Kawaii IPhone Apps

Awhile back I did a post on my favorite Kawaii IPhone applications... so when I was looking through my IPhone the other day I thought I would share some more of my favorites which I'm sure you'll love too!! 

Megu

Megu is actually really fun... Usually I get annoyed at games which require a lot of attention over a long amount of time but this one is so fun! Though you don't really do much other than feed and walk your Megu but you can't help but like this game because that little creature is so dang cute! Its funny because he gets angry at you or if you ignore him for long time he'll get little flies above his head which means you need to bath him... anyways its FREE so I would check it out..

Japan Ai: A Talls Girl's Adventures in Japan

this app is really more of a comic... if your interested in Japan and don't know too much about Japan then this is the app for you! Written by Aimee Steinberger this comic makes her adventures in Japan not only entertaining but actually educational in a way... I really enjoyed it and there is quite a bit of content to make it worth the $1.99 price tag..

Japanese Gal Hairstyling Camera

This app is just kind of silly but still sort of fun to have... basically you pick the hairstyle you like and then can take a picture with that hairstyle... Sometime its a bit hard to frame your face in the hairstyle but since this app is free you really can't complain..

Anyways those are my current favorites! feel free to check them out and let me know what you think or let me know what your favorites are!...

kawaii iphone apps

okay, so i might be the only weirdo who does this but i love looking for and finding cute, kawaii, japanese iphone apps…whether they be fashion, music, games, or basically anything kawaii, i always get so excited when i find a new one… so here are a few of my favorites

***********

mm park [[this app is actually made by a company based in hong kong so its not japanese =( but still very kawaii]]

    awwee so cute!

basically this game is super simple… just find three or more of the same character in a row & you get so many points toward the next level.!. you do have a timer though so you have to make your matches fast…however, depending on how many matches you have already made, you can ask for a hint if you are stuck!

this game is super cute, super fun & super addictive [[the music however is only cute for like the first five minutes, after that, its just annoying]]

*****

Tokyo Kawaii Magazine

this app is another good one if you away from other resources, computer & magazines, but still want to be “plugged” in…

Tokyo Kawaii Magazine is a magazine app that comes in both a free “lite” edition, and a paid “full” edition.. it features fashion, anime, cosplay, bento and almost anything that is cute… one of my favorite things about this app is that it has a lot of pictures! and i love pictures….

*****

i will end this post with my two favorite camera tweaks…

Shibuya Camera

  a few camera tweak app that allows you to add borders, stars, glitter, etc

the reason this one is a fav for the fact that its free and you don’t feel cheated getting by getting a “lite” edition

also it has decent content for being a freebie

 

 

PriPri Marron

   

this is an app i just downloaded not too long ago… i downloaded the full version because it seemed, based on reviews, to be worth it and IT IS!  this app has soooo many backgrounds and tweaks!

 

 

 

so there are a few of my favorite kawaii apps currently on my iphone.. let me know what your favorites are! =)
