Examples of Apps We Like
www.getyardsale (.com)
Download their free app to get an idea of what we like. What we like about this app is the simplicity it is to take the photos. We also like the notifications that pops up after you take a picture that offers directions like what kind of pics to take. We DON'T want to have the same old-fashioned design and look. We only want you to check out the picture taking mechanism and the notifications
