Gojee: The last few years have seen the rise of both foodies and food bloggers. (They even made a movie about one.) So, of course, we now have food blog aggregation. Gojee, a free app for iPhone and iPad, puts a visually inventive spin on the enterprise, letting users browse through food and drink recipes recommended by more than 200 food bloggers. (You can get a sense of how this works by going to Gojees website, but the experience seems mostly tailored to the mobile app.) The latest update makes the app compatible with the iPhone 5 and the new iPads Retina display.
NFL Pro 2013: If the start of football season has you itching for the next edition of Madden, the free NFL Pro 2013 game for iPhone and iPad might be enough to keep you satisfied in the meantime. You can play with the team of your choice; if you buy in-app credit packs starting at $2, you can hire new players, upgrade your stadium, and improve your team in other ways. Are you ready for some (virtual) football?
NMHMC Harvey: This $10 app for iPad has one of the most boring names we can remember, but you should ignore that because it offers at least one piece of morbidly fascinating content from the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Chicago: scans of Albert Einsteins brain. The great physicist died in the 1950swell before MRIsso the scans come from samples of his brain tissue that were recovered and preserved during his autopsy, and which for several decades were spread out to some rather unexpected locations across the United States. The app omits those odder parts of the story, but still: Einsteins brain!
Note.S: Dear Diary: The days of me writing to you in a lined notebook are pretty much over. But believe it or not, there are thoughts I want to record without necessarily baring my soul to the world on social media. Thats where the $2 Note.S journaling app for iPhone comes in handy. I can write to you, attach photos and map coordinates, change the fonts, and save copies of you to Dropbox and iTunes. I can even protect you from snooping by my little sister, thanks to a passcode option that lets me secure both the app and individual journal entries. And if I want to take my ultimate revenge and let the world know exactly what happened with Sebastian and Kathryn, well, I can still use email or Twitter to share entries. Thanks, Diary! Youre the best!
Streamweaver: StreeeeeeeeeeeamweaverI believe you can get me onto a Google+ Hangouts-style video chat with friends and let me record all the action for free on my iPhone toniiiiiiight!
