Summer is fast approaching, so we wanted to brighten things up a bit around here. With Spring cleaning done, it’s time to head outside and start doing what we wait all year to do in the warm weather. Be it hiking, swimming, bike riding, going to the beach; whatever it is, we have you covered with a look that will get your phone ready for the fun as well!
This look is inspired by the 1980’s; particularly John Hughes type movies about the summer, the beach, and growing up. There’s nothing wrong with a little nostalgia, so hopefully this new look on your phone can stir some up for you!
Why pay for some of these apps?
You might put in a few bucks to get things rolling but you’ll be glad you did in the long run. The sheer level of configuration and customization behind a few of these titles means endless designs. If you’ve been doing the custom home screen stuff for a while, you may have already purchased some of these apps already.
