Now There's a Tip Junkie App for That!

Holy Smokes Ladies ~  Tip Junkie is now Mobile!!  If you have a smart phone {iPhone, iPad, Andriod} then you’ll have an insiders look to the New Tip Junkie App.  And of course, it’s FREE.

There are several cool features to the New Tip Junkie App but my favorite is that you can “heart” your favorite creative tutorials right on your phone. {squeal}  Yep, that means you’ll be able to bookmark your favorite ideas so you can easily find them again later, even when you’re on the go!

How Do I Use the New Tip Junkie App?

There are so many cool ways to use Tip Junkie on the go with the new Tip Junkie iPhone App:

• Just think how easy it will be to plan a party. You can “heart” all the tutorials you are going to use for your party and then when you’re at the store – you can bring the tutorial back up on your phone to make sure you’ve purchased all your supplies.
• When you’re at PTA meeting you can show a picture of what trying to explain to a friend or committee chairperson.
• When you’re in carpool, you can “heart” all of your favorite tutorials so that you can quickly find them later without having to wait for your browser to load.
• When you’re at a play date or chatting with a friend you can bond over all the crafty ideas you’re dying to make together.
• The possibilities are endless!

How Do I Make A Profile?

My only complaint with this new fab app is that it doesn’t have a “create a profile” icon.  That seems like a no-briainer to me, but until we get that fixed, it’s really easy to create a free profile.  Here’s how:

• From any page on the app, take your finger touch the bottom of the screen and “flip up” the page to bring up the “activity” page.  {This may take a few tries}
• It will take you to a black “activity” page and click on the person icon to upload a photo and edit your screen name.
• The heart icon is all of your bookmarked tutorials.

I am really excited about this new way to view and interact with Tip Junkie.  There’s still more to come but in the meantime, I hope this helps make things a little easier for you in your busy, busy life.  {hugs}
