Lesson 2 - Apps and Apps development

In today's lesson we got asked to research our favourite/most popular apps and write a description about each app.

These are the 5 I have chosen to speak about:

  • Snapchat
  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • Candy Crush Saga
  • Netflix
Snapchat is a good way to contact friends and family and have video or photo chats with them. Using this application, people can take photos, record videos, text and also send drawings to a controlled list of recipients. The photos and videos can only be seen for a certain amount of time before then going off and not be seen again (unless you re-watch it, which you can only do once). Snap chat is a good way to keep in touch with friends and family that live in different countries. There are new effects on snap chat that allows the app to become more fun and enjoyable!


Instagram is a good way to post images and videos for people around the world to see and share good comments, it is a good way to see what people do around the world and how differently people do things. People can like your photos and videos and also leave comments on them, they can also follow you which would mean that your posts will appear on their Instagram. You can also follow other people so that you can see what they are posting daily and can check out all there images and videos!

Facebook is an online social networking site which allows you to also upload images, videos and also personal statues for your friends to see, it also allows you to see to upload what they are doing and for friends to see, comment and maybe even share pictures and videos for different family and friends can see! The difference with Facebook is you have to 'add as a friend' to see their personal images, videos and status. Facebook also allows you to get into 'groups' with different people around the world and share information and your hobbies with other people that are not added as friends, this way it helps people gain information and knowledge.
Candy crush saga is a really popular game that you can download via phone (android and iPhone) and also connect it to Facebook for your friends to see how well you are doing and to help you get lives, gifts and different gadgets. Candy crush is basically a puzzle game where you have to match up three colours for them to disappear. There are thousands of levels for you to complete. It is great fun and you don't need internet to play this game, so you can play it any time, any where for free!
Netflix is basically an app that you can watch movies with friends and family! Although there is a small charge for using this app, you get thousands of films to sit back and enjoy! Netflix is really popular! You can get Netflix on your tv, laptops and also your phones for when you are out and about! This app saves you buying different dvds, you can just hop straight onto Netflix and watch any film that you fancy on the day without the stress of making sure you have the money to buy!
