I’ve recently been made aware of a brand new app called mySurface. You know how I LOVE my iPhone. Apps are the best part about it. I thought it would be fun to make a list of my favorite DIY apps. Plus I have an awesome giveaway for you too! So, here are some fun free DIY apps in no particular order.
mySurface
Thinking of remodeling or in the middle of one? Then this app is for you. It’s so cool, I’m seriously thinking about remodeling after playing with this! mySurface has a huge amount of Corian and Zodiaq surface colors and textures you can browse by color. Just scroll through the color choices, save your favorites and call for samples in a few easy steps. So much easier than spending hours at the store. There is also a nice photo gallery for getting ideas. The hardest part will be deciding which surface to choose!
Milog Lite
Milog Lite is a great app for tracking car mileage for work. I am so much better at using this than writing my miles on paper.
BigOven
BigOven has tons of recipes and photos! Great for getting dinner ideas and handy for the grocery store when you forget what ingredients you need for something.
FilterFX for Free
Want to make your photo sepia toned before you share it on Twitter or Facebook? FilterFX has all kinds of fun photo editing filters. Like this, then you’ll love Crop for Free, another great photo app!
i Make Ups
i Make Ups is a totally fun app that has quick DIY hair and make-up video tips. I love the hair videos since I never know what to do with mine!
iHandy Level
iHandy Level is a great tool for when you need to hang frames!

I don’t have an iPhone or an iPod touch, but I would LOVE one! I would love any kind of app that made keeping track of my appointments easier, one to entertain the kiddos, and one to edit my mobile photos when I’m out and about.
Thanks for a fabulous giveaway!
I have a touch already but since I rarely let my hubby use it (sorry babe, lol), it would be great to win one for him! He would love any handyman apps such as the level. Oh and I am a subscriber on google reader
Oh, I follow your blog, too.
Yikes – this is cool. I’d love to win this for my husband. I would constantly use an application that would take the thinking out of color-matching. For instance, I want to paint the walls of my bathroom, but the tiles are Mary Kay pink and black (EWWWW! So not my idea – it came that way!) so all I can think is green, but what shade, I wonder. So, I’d love a computer that could think for me
I follow you’re FABULOUS blog!

I tweeted!

I have the “road trip” app for my iphone and it’s great for tracking my MPG. But my favorite apps are the ones that keep my daughter occupied in the car (KidArt, and some new ones that are helping her with her letters).
I was thinking about getting her an iTouch for Christmas, thinking I could get one for under $100 maybe refurbished, but didn’t realize they were $200! I love my 3-yr old, but not that much

WOW! What an amazing giveaway!!! I don’t have an iTouch or an iPhone (YET!) but I’ve heard there are some bangin’ knitting apps – I might need something to keep track of my fabric stash, too….

I don’t have an iTouch anything, but the app I want would sweep up dog hair from my two big dogs. Oh, wait….
I would love an ipod touch almost as much as my kids have enjoyed your freee lunchbox notes, and
your Mon-Fri hanger tags!!
I’m already a follower and I love your blog!
I don’t have an itouch, but I love the app for the leveler.
I’d love to use crop for free, and I’d be thrilled to win an ipod touch. seriously, a touch? wow.
