Installing  Bluestacks        

•  On  a  PC  you  can  download  it  straight  from  www.bluestacks.com.    

•  However,  on  a  Mac  your  best  bet  is  to  download  it  from:  hAp://bluestacks-­‐app-­‐player-­‐mac.en.soEonic.com/mac.  

•  Once  you  have  Bluestacks  you  can  use  it  to  download  apps  the  same  way  you  would  on  a  mobile  device.

InstaWisdom  

Uses  of  InstaWisdom  

Pros:  •  Database  of  pre-­‐sourced  

quotes  •  Large  selecLon  of  

backdrops  and  fonts/colors  •  Auto  sharing  to  Instagram  

Cons:  •  Large  watermark  on  unpaid  

version  renders  images  virtually  un-­‐useable  

•  Text  size/placement  isn’t  very  customize-­‐able  (some  text  does  not  fit  properly  in  image)  

•  Small  selecLon  of  backdrops  if  you  are  not  using  the  paid  version  

•  No  auto  share  to  other  social  media  plaVorms  

TextGram    

Uses  of  TextGram

Overall  Thoughts    

•  Overall,  we’d  say  that  TextGram  is  a  real  winner  for  creaLng  simple  quotes,  and  will  make  a  great  addiLon  to  your  photo  arsenal.    

•  If  you  want  the  convenience  of  a  pre-­‐loaded  quote  library,  it  might  be  worth  paying  for  the  premium  InstaWisdom  app.    

•  For  anything  more  than  quotes,  you’ll  probably  want  to  sLck  with  Can  or  PicMonkey.
