CANVA

This app helps you to remodel existing designs according to your taste. Just select an already-made artwork and edit it.

There are some exclusive designs and logo you might have to purchase. It is pretty simple and fun to use.

The only catch here is you have to use it whiles having a strong, reliable data package.

But that’s not such a big deal, is it?

Marching on to the next app…….

ADOBE SPARK

Released in 2016, Adobe launched an array of apps called Adobe Spark, which grants its users the chance to create their own artistic content, like posts for social media, graphics, web stories, and animated videos.

This App is definitely a major improvement from previous Adobe apps. The main aim of this app is essentially to let anyone with an artisitic mind be able to create their own content without needing a professional graphic designer.

It is not complicated and is very easy to use. Like Canva, there are a variety of themes you can choose and edit to suit your needs.

The Spark Video option gives you the ability to create videos by combining texts, pictures, and objects. It has the option of adding music or just having a voice over as the video rolls on .

Also, like Canva, you get to save your work online by your account, hence allowing you to switch between any of your devices and work when the heat of your artistic elements comes alive.

Adobe Spark app is free for both iOS and android users. But some premium features are supposed to be purchased.

So there you have it. Two apps that can help you get rid of annoying graphic designers. I mean, you too are very creative right? Duhhh……

Reading Time: 2 minutes


Google has announced that it will begin phasing out support for Chrome apps across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms starting this year. From March, Chrome Web Store will stop accepting new Chrome apps, while developers will get the option to update their existing apps through June 2022, the company said in a blog post. The new development is a follow-up of the announcement that Google made back in August 2016 to reveal the departure of Chrome apps. The search giant had cited ā€œless usageā€ as the primary reason for its decision to kill the apps that were initially designed to take on traditional Web apps.
The timeline provided by Google has confirmed that Chrome Web Store will no longer accept new Chrome apps from March. The company will also end support for Chrome apps on Windows, macOS, and Linux starting June this year. However, customers on Chrome Enterprise and Chrome Education Upgrade will get a policy in place to extend support through December.
Chrome OS users will continue to receive support for Chrome apps until June 2021. Support for NaCI, PNaCI, and PPAPI APIs will also go offline from June next year. Moreover, Google will end support for Chrome apps on Chrome OS for all users from June 2022.
The changes pertaining to Chrome apps won’t impact support for Chrome extensions.
ā€œGoogle will continue to support and invest in Chrome Extensions on all existing platforms. Fostering a robust ecosystem of extensions is critical to Chrome’s mission and we are committed to providing a useful extension platform for customising the browsing experience for all users,ā€ said Anthony Laforge, Technical Director, Chrome Platform Team, in the blog post.
A dedicated hub has been provided for developers to help them migrate their Chrome apps to Web apps or build Android apps for Chrome OS. Developers also have the option to transform their experiences by working on Chrome extensions or build Progressive Web App (PWA) solutions.
Google believes that developers would move from Chrome apps and start using open Web standards such as PWA over time. This would eventually help users avail similar experiences of Chrome apps across all modern browsers.
