App Rating

This app can keep you busy for hours. Planning weddings, vacations, your dream house, outfits for every occassion you can think of. It is seriously enjoyable. (0 more)

People often pin things that do not belong to them so your favorite recipe may vanish. (0 more)

Addiction, thy name is Pinterest!!

Love this app. You literally can disappear forever if you aren't careful. Thousands of pins, from cute animals to how sew in a zipper. One of my Besties and I have been know to do joint "shopping" trips on Pinterest. We get on the app, and IM back and forth. We have said that life would be easier if the App makers would add their own chat program. Kind of like AOLs chat rooms but private. You could talk and share a rainy day away! We have sent recipes, baby ideas, etc. back and forth. Last year we planned my niece's wedding by creating a private board where all of us could pin and write our thought about how or what would work and why. It was great, because we are all spread out across the country, and this wsy we all felt included. So yes, I am very pro Pinterest. The only thing I do not like is people stealing others(Micheal Kors, Home decorators, etc) intellectual property and either not giving credit or claiming it for themselves.

Perhaps we should think a little bit out of the box for this. So, as well as the usual apps, games, books etc, there could be suggestions on particular apps etc for each category

Individuals: Depends on age really. If people have issues such as depression, addiction they could be guided towards national or regional websites. If anyone feels lonely during self isolating there’s regional and national friendship and support groups on Facebook and elsewhere.

I think for all categories you could have Netflix/BBCiPlayer/etc box set recommendations and there’s a lot of shows on YouTube.

Perhaps for teens you could recommend games that wouldn’t normally play. Again, they may be afraid of current events and need support so you could recommend groups/websites for people their age to discuss their feeling.

Young families could have ideas for entertaining small children, supporting parents Recommendations for children/baby reading books. Recipe book recommendations since people who want to cook will have more time to do so or may need to cook using limited ingredients.

Couples and older families could have book recommendations. Could advise on hobby apps or websites.

I just think as well as the normal Facebook/Twitter options we could suggest items and options that people may either not have heard of or considered

I just think because we are living in extraordinary times we should be able to guide people to more practical help and services so that they are as comfortable physically and mentally as they are stimulated with media such as books, games and films etc to make life easier all round
