44 Apps for Creative Minds

These Fun Apps Let You Practice Your Artistic Abilities

— August 23, 2013 — Tech
Designed for the creative mind, these fun apps require you to practice your artistic abilities. If you've got an eye for aesthetics, you'll definitely want to check out these apps to keep your creative juices flowing.

All smartphones nowadays have high-quality cameras, which opens doors for many photography-focused apps. Apps don't just let you take photos with filters, but most have built-in editing features. Many photo editing apps let you experiment with colored texts, shaped crops, frames and even free-hand drawings. Photography or video apps can be rewarding for creative people, especially when they are linked with social network platforms. These apps bring together creative people who want to quickly and conveniently express and share their personal taste.
