Summer time is here is finally here, and it's time for you to take a break from life and enjoy yourself. To help you enjoy your vacation a little more, here are a couple of apps you can grab beforehand!


Instagram


Turn your average, everyday photos into works of art with Instagram. This app will turn your phone into a powerful photo-processing machine. You'll be able to apply many different filters to each of your photos; make give your photo a retro and antique feel, overlay it with sepia tones, or add a subtle blur effect to it all. You can quickly and easily upload your photos to many different social media sites including: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and more. Whether you plan on taking a vacation to see family or to spend time in the great outdoors, make sure you keep your memories looking good with Instagram.


Postagram


Want to personalize your photos for your family and friends? Get a hold of Postagram. This nifty little app takes the classic postcard into the 21st century. You'll be able to transform any photo on your phone into a beautiful postcard. You can even add a personalized message to let your loved ones know how much fun they're missing out on. So, when you're out on vacation, do yourself a favor and dodge those cheesy gas station postcards (call me rude, but I send mine directly to the trashcan). Create a quality and personalized postcard with Postagram.


Hotel Tonight


So, you were really excited about your trip, but forgot the most important thing: where are you going to stay once you get there? Now that you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, let Hotel Tonight come to your rescue. This app will help you find and book a room at the very last minute. On top of that, it'll help you find the best deal so you can save some of that cash for more important things. So, if you're an absent-minded person or just a heavy procrastinator, Hotel Tonight can help you save your vacation.


Alarm.com


Whenever I used to take extended trips away from home, I'd always have a tiny bit of worry and paranoia in the back of my head. "Did I leave anything on at home? Did I lock all the doors? Oh my gosh, what if someone is breaking in RIGHT NOW?" However, now, thanks to technology, I no longer have to stress myself out during my vacation time. With the Alarm.com app, I can control every aspect of my Sherman home security system from anywhere in the world. I can perform quick check-ups on my home to make sure I didn't leave anything on.


If I do, it's no problem at all! I can simply shut it off using my phone. I can even arm my home security systems and lock the doors remotely. It's amazing how far home security and home automation have come. My Alarm.com app helps me relax and fully enjoy my time away from home.
