iOS.7 opinions Do you Like the new look and feel

What do you think about the new iOS.7?

I went to bed last night and downloaded the new operating system to my iPhone 4s. I have to admit I didn't care for it much at first and I'm not the type to be afraid of change. I welcome it with open arms as long as it's going to benefit the people it affects. Something about the new keyboard and text messages that I didn't like. Here is a shot of the new look.

it has a faded look to it and I think the fonts are a little to small but maybe I'm just getting old and should be wearing glasses, I'll never admit it! The new operating system does have a complete new look to it as well as the way it feels in operation. I'm sure there are plenty more features that I will discover along the way. That is one of the fun things about an iPhone. You can learn something new everyday for a whole year before you know it all. Then they will come out with an update that changes some things and you have to learn them all again :) 

I wrote a similar post on my website this morning but I'm guessing not everyone had downloaded the new iOS.7 just yet. There are a lot of people that will wait to read some reviews from the ones that couldn't wait to try the new iOS. Then if the reviews are good those skeptics will download the new system. 

Some of the features that I didn't like were the color schemes used by Apple Inc. on this version. They remind me a lot of what Google has done to Gmail and Google Plus. Here is a sneak peek at the home screen with some of the apps that have changed their icons as well. As you can see here they changed the Camera, Photo's, Calendar, Settings, Notes,Maps, Safari, reminders and messages. Now that I think of it they probably changed the look of all the stock apps lol Also added a FaceTime App. If your a business owner I suggest you take a look at this Mobile Apps for Business

 As far as functionality goes I can say i'm enjoying the new version. There are a lot of features to learn and figure out but for the ones I had to use throughout the day I was impressed. For instance the camera app, now you can add a mosaic feature to your photo's before you snap the picture. It shows up live on screen so you can see what it will look like. I love the feature but I do wish they added a few more than the ones they have. Also when you slide up from the bottom of the phone while in the lock screen you get a nice selection of quick fire apps to use such as on the bottom there is a flashlight button a timer/stopwatch a calculator and the camera app. Then you have your music player in the middle and another row of apps on the top, This row displays the airplane mode, wifi, blue tooth, do not disturb and a portrait orientation lock button. The in phone search feature where you could swipe from the first page of apps to the right, that feature has changed to a pull down from any page of apps. 

If you are a business owner and are looking for ways to get more customers have a look at my website www.flipit4u.com

I could go on and on and give a tutorial but that's not what this post is about. I just want to know if you bothered to download the new iOS and what you think of it ? I'd love to hear from you and your opinion.

Mobile Apps for business

Does your business need an app?

This is a question that crosses the minds of a lot of business  owners and soon all of them will have to consider this as an option. Not every business needs an app but it won't be long before every business has one. The key to having an app for your business is this, you want to make your customers experience better than it is. Making it easier for any customer to find, locate, select products or services, purchase and share via your mobile app. If you have an app just because it looks good and there is no real customer value, you may as well just donate the money you spend on it because it will serve no purpose for your customers.

I wrote a blog post on it on my website How to choose a mobile app I will say though that just about every business can benefit from a mobile app. Making it easier to do business with your brand or business. If you can solve a problem customers have and present the solution via your business app you are on the right path to having a successful app for your business.

I don't want to re-blog what I've already written about so please click the link above to see the post. You don't have to spend 10's of thousands of dollars for an app anymore. We make it affordable for any business to compete in todays world and having an app could be the edge your business needs.

Looking for Video Marketing Software?  I would recommend a product by two of the leading marketing people on the net. It's called Video Genesis. Video Marketing is the most powerful tool you can have to build your brand or business. Most people would rather watch a quick video that will get to the point and give you the information you are looking for in what ever market you are in. Before they would read an article.  

Thanks for checking out this post and I suggest you go to my official blog and have a look at all the marketing material I share that will help you and your business get more customers, leads and sales just by learning from others and doing what works. www.flipit4u.com

Do you Hate when marketers say it's free and it's NOT

I can't stand it when I go through my emails, and I have way too many to begin with. You see a subject line of interest and it says bla bla bla and click here to get it Free. So you click the link and here are a couple of things I hate.
1. When you land on a page that you got from this person sending it to you and then they want your name and email address "AGAIN" Why do I have to give them my email when the only way I could have got there is if they sent me an email with a link to that page.
2. So your interested still and want to find the what ever it is that is free so you fill it out and click send. Now you get this page that is longer than the Boston Marathon. So now you start reading all about how wonderful this product is and it just smells like a sales pitch and sure enough you scroll down to the middle or end of it and find that buy now button.
   This is my biggest pet peeve and time stealer and I hate that.. let me know what your thoughts are, what you think about this and what we can do about it?
