Fresh Crop App

When it comes to standing out on Instagram; everyone who is anyone knows you have to bring the freshest, livest and most original content to the table! Gone are the days of the same old, same old; only the cutting-edge visionaries shall survive this digital natural selection. Enter actor and model, Quincy; whose new tech release the Fresh Crop App, is bringing photo taking, stitching and cropping to brand new heights!

Fresh Crop App- Quincy Takes Photos Next Level

Fresh Crop App

Uhm… sorry… RIP picstitch. Back in the Insta day circa 2012-2013 you couldn’t tell a SOUL that their picstitch wasn’t hot. However, as photos went to new “magazine editorial” levels; this form of post easily became obsolete.

Till this day, to bring in the likes your pic has to be BETTER than your post before it. Additionally, if you run a company looking for new fascinating methods to keep eyeballs on; as well as flocking to your page is becoming more and more important in this social media age.

Therefore, Fresh Crop comes into the picture (excuse the pun lol ) at just the right moment. It gives users the ability to create a multi-photo “slide” without having to actually perform some weird crop; that actually takes AWAY from the integrity of your masterpiece.

For instance, ever had a wide angle shot that you wanted to post but Instagram’s picture parameters didn’t allow it? Most likely, you had to unfortunately “Crop” or resize the original photograph just to be able to post it. This dilemma could lead to having a friend or two cropped or cut-out of the picture completely. Or deciding which part of the picture or its scenery you liked most and just showing that part.

Well, our fellow picture takers, those days are long gone! And you don’t even need to know photoshop to fix it. All you need is cousin Quincy’s new Fresh Crop App and your problems are solved! Let us tell you how easy it is to use it.

How to Use Fresh Crop

Just a few steps and you are finished. Fresh Crop is available for both iOS and Android devices. Simply go to your device’s App Store and download it. We found that Fresh App pops up quite easily; so then you shouldn’t have too hard of a time searching for it. In both stores it was never lower than the 2nd-4th option.

Once downloaded you will have to give a few permissions in order to utilize the app. Nothing out the norm. The usual. The app requires access to your photo library as well as camera.

Depending on what you feel comfortable with, you can select which option Fresh App will be allowed to use. In order to get the full experience and usability of the app; access will have to be allowed to your camera and library.

How to Use It -Continued

Fresh Crop App

Once you’re done opening the gateways to your library and camera the fun can begin! You are now ready to create some magic. Select the combination and size you are after.

For example, how big or small do you want your cropped pic to be? Do you want it square size (smaller); or photo size (larger)?

After you have made that decision then select how many slides you would like your photograph to be spread across. One, two or even three slides. Once selected grab a pic from your library; or take one with your camera then size it up in the rectangular box.

Got it how you want it? Perfect! Then hit the arrow in the upper left corner and let the Photo Fresh app work it’s skills!

Now It’s Time to Shine!

In just a few seconds you will have a cool “cropped” photo to post. If you like it, all you have to do next is click save. Nevertheless, if you’re not feeling your creation; just hold the photo down with your finger and drag to the little trash can icon. Once you start dragging you will see the “cartoon” trash can pop up.

However, once a photo is posted; to see the whole thing, all people have to do is slide the photo over like they are flipping to the next photo in an album. The difference is there will be no breaks. It will only look like one big, continuous photo. Sick!

Now if you have been seeing people posting these types of photos for months (we know we certainly have); now you can get in on all the fun and action too. With Quincy’s amazing app the process is easy, quick and for the less techy (Thank G lol) painless.

Fresh Crop and The Beautiful of Tech

Quincy’s move into the tech realm is an exciting one. Since the industry is still mainly composed of people not of color. Furthermore, we are not saying that any one who is not black needs to be pushed aside; but that there is definitely room in the market for black innovators to let their light shine as well!

All races have so much to offer this world. And it is always SO wonderful to see a plethora of people from all backgrounds making tech and other industries more efficient.

Therefore, to the Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Ray J’s and Quincy’s still left to be discovered out there. DO NOT GIVE UP! You can do it, you can make it, and succeed! We are all rooting for your genius and can’t wait to use your product of tomorrow. Congratulations Quincy!

Facebook Stories- Yet Another Update Proving Snapchat’s Epicness

Facebook Stories

Snapchat really should sue. Yesterday, many Facebook users who’s apps are set to automatically update were met with quite a surprise. Facebook is now equipped with Facebook Stories. The look and feel is very similar to Instagram, which makes sense because Mr. Zuckerberg owns both social platforms. Nevertheless, the memes and tweets over the change are already pouring in and they basically sum up how we’re all feeling.

Facebook Stories- Yet Another Update Proving Snapchat’s Epicness

Please…someone make it all stop! Snapchat changed the game with social thanks to their infamous Snapchat Stories. So fun to make, easy to send and don’t get us started on their one-of-a-kind filters. However, we should have known that in time there would come to be copycats.

Actually, naw we shouldn’t have been surprised one bit. Instagram basically emptied the clip into Vine right at the gate. Changing the platform from just a photo sharing app to one also capable of handling video. Vine hung in there for as long as possible but ultimately waved the white flag leaving all of us to say, “Rest in peace.”

Facebook Stories

We don’t know if the murdering of Vine is what emboldened IG to try the same divide and conquer tactic with its latest foe, Snapchat. However, it doesn’t seem to be working or having the same success. You see, Instagram pulled the copycat on Vine right when Vine was still gaining traction. When Instagram tried to go for the jugular with SC, Snapchat was already established as a platform to be reckoned with and feared.

Moreover, users were already used to having two separate apps for their social sharing needs. Obviously, the Instagram and Facebook family has been feeling the heat of competition thus continuing to clutter up both platforms in order to stay relevant.

Facebook Stories

Yes, we used the word “clutter.” Facebook and Instagram officially have too much going on and they can’t seem to hit the brakes. We are literally watching a car wreck that is easily avoidable. What’s happening now is Facebook and sister platform Instagram is going to lose touch with their users. Cue Brad Pitt meme photo.

Facebook Stories

A mass exodus had already occurred when Facebook had questionable privacy issues. Moreover, remember when Instagram attempted to pull the same card saying that no one would really own their own content and it could be “sold?” Well, everyone including celebrities spoke up on that one and threatened to leave and guess what? Instagram changed their tune and even said that was never what they intended. Right.

Now we have Facebook Stories. As the saying goes, “Imitation is the biggest form of flattery.” FB Stories work the same as Snapchat Stories. Videos, photos, filters that can be shared with those on your friend’s list or publicly. The layout is a carbon copy of Instagram’s look. Literally, not a single thing is different, even the colored ring around the profile picture made the cut.

However, the layout just seems overworked, overwhelming and plainly overdone. It just feels out of place. Facebook Live was a complete flop so we really can’t see Facebook Stories as faring much better. Especially, since it looks like the people are speaking out… again.

Facebook Stories

Facebook Stories – Keeping It One Hundred

The consumer is always right. Any company would be the first to chant that fact. Nevertheless, so far the opinion of the latest FB update isn’t favorable. Here’s what’s being said:

“Facebook has Stories now… I’m out.”

“LMAO this outta control Facebook has Stories now pls Twitter no Stories pls.”

“Facebook starts Snapchat type feature on its app… If you can’t buy it build it.”

“Why in every world are there Facebook Stories now?! Like come on.”

“Facebook Stories look like an ill-fitting mask.”

“Just when you think you can’t hate Facebook anymore they add a “Stories” component.”

“Facebook has Stories like I really care what the kid who dropped out in 8th grade is doing on a daily basis.”

“Why Facebook got this bootleg Snapchat?”

“Facebook Stories sounds so new and innovative I can’t wait to hear what original idea they come up with next.”

“Can we leave stories to Snapchat? Instagram kinda hate that you do it too but sorta accepting it at this point.”

“Facebook looking desperate with the Stories.”

“Facebook now has Stories. Shoutout to Tumblr for being superior and not conforming.”

“Snapchat Stories: Great idea!

Instagram Stories: Cool I guess

Facebook Stories: Too damn much y’all.”

“Facebook Stories is the new best thing since Instagram Stories. Instagram stories are the best thing since snap stories. Wait…”

“From Worst to Best

6) WhatsApp stories 

5) Messenger Stories 

4) Facebook Stories 

3) Instagram stories 

2) Snapchat Stories 

1) Bedtime stories.”

Facebook Stories- In Conclusion

All in all it’s just a really bad idea. No one likes it and we wish it would just go away. Moreover, what makes it worse is that we all know FB wanted to buy out Snapchat. On several occasions, but SC stuck to their guns and morals eventually taking the crown. This is a major “L” that even has Meek Mill shaking his head.

Facebook has literally shown that they can’t compete and have zero new ideas coming to the table. This update solidifies it. As a result, we’re all standing with Vine giving the slow clap as they prepare to pass the flag.

Instagram Adds Zoom in Their Newest Update! Help!

Instagram Adds Zoom in Their Newest Update! Help!

Instagram has done it yet again, adding a brand new feature in their latest update. What could be the worst nightmare of any girl on the Gram? How about the ability for people to power zoom into all your photos? The horror has begun, Instagram adds zoom capabilities in their most recent update.

Instagram Adds Zoom in Their Newest Update

As we sit checking out this new feature and sipping our cafe mochas we can’t help but think that stalking is about to go to a whole other level. Let’s face it everyone does it. We all have ended up on someone’s friend of a cousin second removed ex-boyfriend slash niece profile. Yet such researching has never allowed anyone to get a close range scope of a photo.

Now every zit, imperfection, fashion malfunction and over-edit will proudly be on display. Plus, we are sure the thirst will be at an all time high as users zoom in to get a better view of any lady bits. Also, shall we forget those who may wish to zoom in to see who all made up the squad, even the person all the way in the back.

Nevertheless, if you thought the addition of DMing was bad this feature should be a real riot. Just wait till some dude is up at 4 a.m. dissecting your lip shape. God speed dolls, god speed.

Instagram Adds Zoom -Why?

The fact that Instagram adds zoom to their app highlights a few things. One, they really know their consumer. They know there are those who are all over people’s pages and want to see every last detail. Also, IG recognizes they need to innovate to keep up with the big boys.

With Snapchat gaining more and more popularity Instagram has obviously felt the sting of competition. Moreover, that pinch is probably what led up to their kinda sad imitation of SC stories. Instagram Stories was met with buzz but many simply aren’t using it. Instagram started as a photo sharing app and it will die that way.

Jeez, that was morbid. Anyway, the point is IG wants to keep users guessing and on their toes. Its like when soda companies try out a new flavor. Its all done to keep consumers buying into their product and their products alone.

Instagram really does not need to worry about a single thing. We all love the freaking app. It’s fun, creative, a good way to market and a nice shot of confidence every now and then. All the additions and extras are not really necessary. How many times after there is an update you hear someone say, “Man, I miss the old Instagram!”

When it comes to the Gram we are all simple creatures. Apply makeup, select bomb outfit, set lighting, snap photo, filter and photoshop self till slightly still recognizable then post to stunt on all the Hoes (LOL). Well, maybe not all of that but you get the point. Happy zooming everyone.

Snapchat Updates App Loses Best Friends Feature

Snapchat Updates App Loses Best Friends Feature

Scrolling through twitter has been an hilarious hour of amazing comedic filled tweets. Snapchatters welcomed a new update this week to help them “Discover” editorial pieces as well as no longer have the ability to stalk friends and loved ones. Snapchat’s blog in regards to the Discover feature mentioned,

“Snapchat Discover is a new way to explore Stories from different editorial teams. It’s the result of collaboration with world-class leaders in media to build a storytelling format that puts the narrative first. This is not social media.” So then, it looks like Snapchat has figured out a way to commercialize the app without being overbearing. If you want to see extra media driven content there is a special button that you can hit. If you rather not see additional stories from outside sources can just ignore the button and snap away like normal.

Now back to the stalking (LOL). Users used to be able to see who others were snapping with the most due to Snapchat’s Best Friends feature. However, this newest update seems to have completely deleted this aspect from the app. Thousands took to Twitter with tweets ranging from girlfriends freaking out about their guys possibly cheating to guys celebrating their new found freedom to snap any and all females without consequences.

Videos, memes and photoshopped greatness captured the social media frenzy. A couple of our favorite tweets included:

“so mad that they have got rid of bestfriends of snapchat.. when im talking to a hot boy i want my friends to know.”

“DON’T UPDATE SNAPCHAT ITS A TRAP”

“Plot twist: snap chat will show everyone’s best friends again in a week, giving everyone enough time to screw themselves over”

Yikes on that last one, but have no fear Snapchatters this fun component will soon make its way back onto the app. Evan Spiegel also took to twitter and said,”

“We’ll bring back BFs soon. A few higher-profile friends wanted to keep their usernames private – we’ll come up with a better way to do that.”

So then, have fun with your snaps because now you are completely private and anonymous to the world. Best Friends will back before we all know it, no doubt just in time to catch some interesting revelations on our friend’s list (HaHa).
