Bondsy: The Best Way To Barter Between Friends

Craigslist’s bartering section is a wonderful concept, sure, but the fact of the matter is that there’s an inherent set of risks that comes along with it when you’re making deals with total, unverified strangers. But with Bondsy, which launches today, you can exercise your bartering skills and finally get rid of junk that’s been laying around — but with friends and friends of friends only. All the perks with none of the uncertainty.


Drops First Aid: Knowledge You Need To Save A Life Right In Your Pocket

Of all the things you never leave home without, your phone is usually somewhere near the top of that list, ready to whip out at a moments notice. You keep all your most vital information on it: birthdays, important meetings, reminders, beloved images, what have you — but all of this is worthless without the people behind each of these things.


Bamboo Loop: A Fun, Creative Twist On Everyday Picture Messaging

Wacom may be best known for its styluses and tablets, but there’s also a more whimsical side to the company that comes with its Bamboo line of apps. The newest release, Bamboo Loop, carries on that tradition with a delightfully creative photo-sharing app.


Limelight: Share Your Carefully Crafted Movie Collection With The World

Nearly everyone and their grandmother has at least some sort of streaming service at their fingertips — or at the very least, they have a streaming service that someone is letting them mooch off. But despite the prominence of streaming video services, there’s still a good number of cinephiles out there who still love buying actual, physical copies of their beloved films.


Pay.me: Get All The Money You Deserve When Selling Online

Most people have sold at least something online at this point in their lives. It’s an easy way to get rid of crap you don’t need and make a little cash in the process. But there’s inevitably a dip in the joy of your new found wealth when you realise that your chosen platform has taken their fair share of your reward. Pay.me for iOS wants to make sure you receive the exact amount you’re after.


Thinglist: A Note-Taking App That Keeps Track Of Your Every Wish

Apple’s proprietary note-taking app is mediocre at best. You can make new notes, write things on them, and that’s about it. So if you’re one of those people who uses his or her phone to jot down pretty much anything that strikes your fancy, you’re going to need something a little different. Thinglist carries the same minimalist looks as the stock note-taking app but packs way more of a punch.


Beer Hunt: Drinking With Friends Just Got Even More Fun

Just like Untappd, Beer Hunt for iOS combines the best parts of a night out drinking beer with the best parts of Foursquare. The difference here, though, is that Beer Hunt turns all into one colossal social, brew-drinking, liver-killing experience.


Expense Manager: Make Budgeting Suck (Somewhat) Less

Anyone struggling to balance their finances these days is going to find themselves at a loss for an excuse. All the money managing, counting and advising apps floating around can be beneficial, sure, but the sheer volume both in design and function makes picking the perfect one for you a daunting task.


ScoreCleaner Notes: Instantly Compose Whatever Tune Pops Into Your Head

Whether you’re a virtuoso musician or the tone-deaf bane of karaoke night, there’s probably been at least one point in your life where you’ve felt almost certain that the little ditty you just randomly hummed could be the song to end all songs. But just as quickly as these blasts of inspiration hit us, they’ll slip away into nothingness no matter how hard we try to grasp on.


iFontMaker: Make Your Own Font When Nothing Else Will Do

While designers may suffer this the most, pretty much anyone who’s typed anything, well, ever has struggled to find the perfect font to suit their means. Normally, you’d be forced to settle for something that only approximates your vision, but rarely will you find exactly what exists so clearly in your imagination, which, let’s face it, may vainly just be your very own handwriting.
