In every issue of iPhone Life magazine, we feature the iPhone Home screens of people from different walks of life, so our readers can see how they use iPhone apps to meet a variety of needs. In our Spring 2020 issue, we featured photographer and blogger Amber Faust, who uses her iPhone for social media, photo editing, games, weather, and more. If you have a story and apps you'd like to suggest, email Tamlin Day, and we may feature you in an upcoming issue of the magazine!

Word Swag - Cool Fonts (Free)
I love posting quotes and silly memes on Instagram. Word Swag turns your boring text into a fancy graphic using pretty fonts and colors. Story Swag is similar, but it works on video.
Takumi (Free)
This app is amazing for Instagram influencers as well as casual users. Takumi is like Tinder, but for brands instead of people. You can connect with trusted brands and get paid for affiliate content.
Preview - Planner for Instagram (Free)
My Instagram is very curated. My real life is up in the Instagram stories, but I love a well-planned beautiful colorful Instagram feed. This app helps me decide what to post next before I actually post it.
A Color Story (Free)
The colored filters for this app are bright and poppy. Matt Crumps Candy Minimal is so good for a bright, oversaturated, fun photo!
Canon Camera Connect (Free)
I shoot with a Canon camera, and I love the Canon app. I can use my phone as a remote trigger and see what my camera sees before I click the shutter.
Jiobit (Free)
My toddler got lost in a park a few weeks ago. Luckily, we had a happy ending. This app links to a little device that hooks on my toddler’s shoes. I can track him anywhere.
Amazon Cloud Cam (Free)
My boys are trouble and need a lot of supervision. This app comes with the Amazon Cloud Cam camera so that I can keep an eye on things during my busy day.
NOAA Weather Radar (Free)
We live by the beach with hurricanes and riptides. NOAA is the best weather app for us. The radar is reliable, and the app gives me push notifications when there’s a weather alert nearby.
