Thing #19--Hobbies

For Thing 19 I was to explore apps that go with hobbies.  The one I selected from the list provided is called Spotify.  Spotify is a free online music app similar to Pandora or Google Play radio.  With it you can search for various songs, artists or genres of music.  It was fun searching through some of the provided playlists.  Two lists I searched through were the "Decades" and "Kids" lists.  Having grown up through the 80's made this music playlist especially entertaining for me as it brought back memories of bad hair bands and the angry grind of electric guitars.  And there were so many 80's lists to choose from!  I also listened to some from the 90's.  We listened to some strange music when I was in high school.  In the kids list I chose a Disney song list.  Fun.  Except it mainly played songs from The Lion King and The Little Mermaid.  Good movies, but I can only listened to those songs so much.  The radio feature is nice.  It will give a "station" based on the music you've searched for and listened to.

Even so, I'm not quite sold on this app. I already use Pandora and I find it easier to use than Spotify. Still, it's worth checking out if you don't already use an online music player.






Another app that I've tried out that could fall under this category is the app for All Recipes.  I love to cook and I love to read recipes.  This app features enough recipes to keep me occupied for a long time.  I like their mix and match option.  You can pick and choose ingredients and it'll give you recipe options based on that.  How cool is that?



Now I just need to find an app that covers crochet patterns.  I'll never have to buy another magazine again!
