Dear Christine,
If you didn’t already know, A Beautiful Mess recently released an iPhone app.
I’m possibly, maybe alittlebitobsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with an app since Instagram launched. The features remind me of those awesome instant photobooths in Japan with tons of stamps and features. Wish they would bring those stateside!
Have you tried the app? It’s only $.99 in the App Store, but I do confess to purchasing some of the in-app expansions. There’s plenty to do with the $.99, though– my top left ESB photo was done exclusively with features in the original download. However, that super cute moon and stars border is part of a paid in-app set.
The only major downside seems to be the lack of stability. The app’s crashed on me three times… right in the middle of editing a masterpiece. Sigh.
What do you think? Worth the $4-5 I’ve probably spent so far?

Everyone is raving about this app… I need to find a version for Droid I can use
That app looks so fun! My goal is to take more photos this summer, so I might get the app too! Love your new blog design.
I wondered how people were doing that with their Instagram photos. Downloading! Thanks lady!
saw your posts on instagram
so intrigued

It makes graphic design a lot easier for me. I really love all the fun fonts, too!
Umm…this seems amazing! I’ll have to download it today and mess around.
It’s almost been taking up as much time as Pinterest! I might need an intervention!
I love their blog and this app is a great extension of them. Love your pictures also! :)
Love the new blog look! and I have not tried this app, but I’m glad you’ve been enjoying it, it’s fun to play around with your photos.
Oh man, I totally broke my blog at one point on Friday night… luckily I was able to fix it! But yeah… a reminder that I have a long way to go with development.
The app is super fun– I really like it!
You did it- your new blog design! It looks great :) How long did it take you?
I love the ABM app- it’s so much fun!
It took about two hours… three if you count the hour I had to spend fixing it because I did something dumb and then decided to finally update my WordPress version. Not bad at all!
I downloaded this last night and I think it’s a really cute app. It makes for really cute pictures esp in yours (loving 1, 2, and 5). But I agree paying for the add-ons is a little much. I def. paid for some add-ons and as I was doing it asked myself “Why am I doing this?” And continued to do so. Such a sucker for cute things. I hope they will add on “extras” that are free. I understand that they need to make money but they don’t need to charge for everything.

Yeah I definitely would have rather paid 2.99 or 4.99 initially and not had to buy all the different crap. But I’m having fun with it so I can’t complain too much! Maybe they’ll release some new freebies when (if?) there’s an update? That would be nice.
