Favorite App
Snapchat
Snapchat has been my favorite game since it came out on the app store. Snapchat is an app that let’s you send messages and pictures to your friends that have the app. Snapchat is my favorite app because it let’s me send messages to my friends that do not have a phone. This is my favorite app because of the way that they update it and the nice ways you can use it. You have ten seconds to screenshot the picture they send you, or if you don’t want to screenshot you can just look at that picture for ten seconds or go out of it. You can also take videos on this app, but it can only be for ten seconds or less. I am always looking up to snapchat when i want to talk to my friends when I am at my house and at theirs.
