Rhonna Designs app: Getting Started free video tutorial workshops

Wow...THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for the amazing support & LOVE for our new Rhonna Designs photo editing app! We are #1 in Photo & Video category on the charts...in the 'new & noteworthy' & have been so thrilled with all of you sharing the love! We love your feedback & will do our best to continue making it the best photo editing app EVER with each update! 

So, as promised, we've got a spot on our site that will be where we offer our free video tutorial workshops! 

While most of you are saying it's intuitive, we have a few of you feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the choices & want a little more 'walking through' each tool.  In these videos, I'll be taking you through each of the tools in the app so it's not so overwhelming! *grin*

Remember, when I created this app- with the help of the most amazing app devoloper (Devin Pitcher)

I really wanted the user to feel empowered- creatively! I wanted YOU to feel like you are the artist, & have these creative tools right at your fingertips. So, with ANY creative process, it's all about enjoying the process & just PLAYING!  These videos are designed for you to pause, stop, & learn at your own pace. So, have fun creating!

Also...a HUGE shout out to my amazing Creative Team member, Nancy! I've put

Nancy's link to her fab you tube channel also on here.   I LOVE her iPad tutorials & we can all learn from her...she's quite the app master! *wink* 

Ok...keep those hashtags coming so everyone can SEE your creations!

Be sure to check out the hashtags:

#rhonnadesigns_app #rhonnadesigns #heyrhonna  The opening 'waterfall page' of the app will pull YOUR instagram photos when tagged like that! and it scrolls through like above, cool-huh?

Of course, we have tons of questions about the app, so here are the FAQs:

Q: How much is the app?

A: $1.99 US dollars

Q: What does the app include?

A: All 27 of my Insta Fonts (w/ 26 designs in each) are included in the Design Packs. 

29 fab fonts for text

8 photo filters

36 exclusive frames

9 exclusive backgrounds

PLUS all the fun photo editing creativity you can handle! *wink*

Q: What if I already have your Insta Fonts?

A: Then, that's AWESOME! The difference between the app & the actual Insta Font kits on my site are resolution & ability.  See, the app is the only place you can use the fonts or 'Design Packs' as they are called. BUT, with the Insta Font kits you get high resolution .ABR brushes/stamps, black PNG files AND the .TTF (True Type) font that is in a vector format which allows you to enlarge w/o losing resolution. And **my personal fave** you can use on your Silhouette Cameo cutting system w/ their Designer pack. I mean...really? cutting out the designs in vinyl, paper, etc? YES, pLease! So, don't dispair...both are fab! 

Q: Will an Android version be available?

A: I'm HOPING to be able to offer it in a droid version, but...I'm learning a LOT about app development! See, there are some BIG differences in developing an app for droids because:

- with so many different devices, each with different screen sizes, aspect ratios, and screen properties it can be difficult to develop/build in a way that works well on all devices. 

- the development tools for Android are very different to what Apple provides.

- you usually need a wide assortment of devices to test on since there are just so many varieties of devices

So, you see...lots of things to consider & go through...but, we LOVE our droid fans, too & so we shall see! *wink*

**The Insta Fonts available on my site CAN still be used in apps like Phonto, so you CAN still play with Rhonna Designs on your phone & upload to Instagram! I taught a local Insta Class here in Utah & some of my fave Droid users blew me away w/ their creativity! Check out Sherry Mendoza !!

**ETA: it's come to our attention that a FAKE app is on google play...NO, it's not ours. it's spam...don't install! We are taking care of it, but just wanted you to know!

Q: Will there be any update or add-ons?

A: YES! I designed the app with the 'whole enchilada' in mind.  I wanted you to be able to have frames, filters, masks, designs and text fonts to use in ONE app! and I wanted to offer enough that you could create for years! *wink* But...with that said: my cReative mind is always going 100 miles a minute & I will be offering 'add-on' design packs that you can purchase in-app every once in a while for .99. What a steal! *grin* Obviously, you don't have to purchase more if you don't want to...because there will be PLENTY of fun in the initial app!  P.S. I already have NEW designs & 'colorful stickers' to add into the app! But, we didn't want to keep delaying. SO this will be part of the new update! fun, huh?

Q: Will the app be available worldwide?

A: YES! We love our fans all over the world and wherever there's an iTunes store, there will be the Rhonna Designs app!

Q: What is the resolution & can I print?
A: YES! We love printing our photos all 'dolled up' w/ Rhonna Designs App! Now, while this app is not meant to be blown up to 12x12 (high rez designs will always be available on Rhonna Designs) you CAN print out w/ our very fave printers: Persnickety Prints! In fact, they look fab in 4x4 or even printed in their Instagram Polaroids for Project Lifers! 

Q: Is there a step by step to help me learn how to use the app?

A: YES! HERE is the page w/ all of the links to the tutorials.  No purchase neccessary.  My fab cReative Team member, Nancy, created videos for the iPad as well. Check out the link at the bottom.



Q: I want to learn all the ways to get more our of the Rhonna Designs App, will you teach me?
A: YES! We have received so many requests for advanced tutorials on how to get the most out of the app, so I will be offering an in depth video tutorial class on my site: Rhonna Designs. 

We LOVE to hear feedback & suggestions, so we included the little HEART on the right of the opening 'waterfall' page. Share your thoughts with us!

OK...Tons of fun stuff...can't wait to see your amazing creations on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter & blogs!  I'm sure you will uplift and inspiRe us all!

cReative Team Tuesday: Rhonna Designs Photo Editing App

My Rhonna Designs cReative Team & I have been busy beta testing my new Photo Editing App: Rhonna Designs.  So, I thought I'd share some info on the app today for cReative Team Tuesday! 

First off: we are hoping to release it sometime this month- June. We want it to be perfect, so thanks for your patience in waiting for the release. As SOON as it's available in the iTunes store, we will announce it, believe me. Now...with apps, you need to know things can change at any time...but for now, we are hoping it will be $1.99... Trust me...you will get a bunch of stuff in it & then, we'll have new updates w/ new designs for a minimal price. (.99) So, you have that option, but you will still be able to cReate TONS of stuff w the initial design packs!
I'll be shouting it from the rooftops! *grin*

And, secondly: this initial release will be for iPhone & iPad only. We love our Android users as well, but building an Android app requires more $$ & we are hoping the iPhone release goes so well that we'll be able to invest in building & offering it for Android users, too! So, don't despair! *wink*

Now, let's look at some fun things the cReative Team are doing with this app----->

be sure to follow my cReative team on Instagram for more inspiRation!

The app will not only come w/ my insta fonts as 'design packs', but it will also have backgrounds, Frames, Stickers, & fonts! It's so fun...you will have the ability to apply filters, masks, & fiddle with the shadows, transparency, outline & colors! I'm sooo excited! Who else is looking forward to cReating with this new Photo Editing App? Raise your hand!
