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!
Yippee! Now I’m excited to give you the chance to win an iPod touch, courtesy of DuPont. Valued at $199!

I love the iHandy Level. I use it all the time around the house. So much easier than trying to find an actual level when I need one!
No Ipod/Iphone touch here…Um, that IHandy level…so incredibly cool and ‘Crop for Free’ … I could be in trouble with this thing….!!

i don’t have an ipod touch, but would really love to own one!
i want an app that can recommend the best restaurants within miles
I would love this. I don’t have one, so I haven’t had an opportunity to play with any applications, but the Big Oven one sounds great. Oh, and the level–I can never find mine!

Well I don’t have an iPhone or iTouch but I know if I did it would be filled with photography apps. I also love the level app, I would whip that out on my father the first chance I got. He is crazy about having things level.
I don’t have anything {i} but I would love, love, love to! My sister has an Iphone and she is always showing me some cool new app she has — I would love anything that has to do with photography.
Thanks!
I subscribe to Living Locurto.
I tweeted…hopefully I did it write (still figuring it out!). Found your blog a while back and really like it…I’m off to look around some more.
I have to admit I like evernote for and taking pictures with my phone best for home improvement stuff. Then I can remember where and what I want to do.
I don’t have an iPhone, but I want one! The apps look so fun! I’ve never seen the iHandy Level….that is so cool! The app I would definitely get is Urban Spoon. I’m a foodie!
Following you on twitter (I just got a twitter account, it’s way COOL).
I don’t have an itouch but it sounds and looks SO cool! I would love the photo editing stuff, the recipes, and the leveler (I could use that now, as I am trying to hang pictures & they mostly have all been crooked so far).
Blessings.
I just subscribed to your blog! Can’t wait to see your tips and read what you have to blog about! I especially LOVE the iHandy Level. I have used this at some really odd times. It’s been extremely handy!! (ha-ha)
I am now a follower!
I love the leveler app! I don’t have an iphone or itouch but am dying to get one. Is there already a “tape measure” app? How convienent would it be to have a little tape measure in your purse? Thanks for the entry!
