MotorMood Lets You ‘Smile’ At Other Motorists
It’s a jungle out there. Some people drive way too fast (or way too slow), while others overtake and cut lanes like there’s no tomorrow. Yep, I’m talking about the traffic in major cities and how crazy things can get. But there are drivers who are pretty awesome, too– those who give way or let…

The Bristlr App Helps You Meet Fine, Hairy Folks
What do you look for in a potential partner? Some people choose personality over looks, while others prioritize the amount of facial fuzz their potential partner has. The latter sounds strange, I know, but an app that aims to match people up based on beards (or the lack thereof) actually exists. It’s called Bristlr, and…

Hotel My Phone App Lets You Use Someone Else’s Phone As If It Were Yours
So you’ve run out of battery or left your phone at home, and you need to call or send someone a message. You can borrow your friend’s phone, but there’s little you can do if you can’t remember the number of the person who you want to reach…unless he’s got the Hotel My Phone app, that…

Pong Traffic Light Lets You Play With Folks On the Other Side
Pong. What’s not to like? It’s a fun, simple game that makes you forget your problems…until the next stoplight, that is. This would be the case if you were playing Pong on these newly-installed systems that are attached to the base of traffic lights in Germany. When the lights are green, pedestrians can play…

Wakie App Lets You Get Wake-Up Calls from Strangers
You can hit snooze on your alarm, but you can’t exactly hit snooze on someone, can you? That’s what the developers of Wakie are counting on to make sure that you’re awake when your alarm goes off. It’s an app that makes alarms social in the sense that it works by having a complete stranger…

Type Your Letter, and ‘Snail Mail My Email’ Will Write and Send It For You
There’s just something about snail mail that makes it mean more than an email or instant message. By “it,” we don’t mean just the message, but the whole thing in general. I suppose a lot more effort goes into writing a letter and taking the time to mail it out versus typing it up…

Unsticker.Me Gets Rid of Stickers from Your Facebook Feed
Facebook is great for a lot of things: messaging long-lost friends, reconnecting with distant family members, and virtually catching up with college buddies, among others. What’s not great about it, though? Stickers. Those too-huge emoticons that some people use way too much. If you’re sick of them, then here’s an extension you need for your…

Need to Get Someone’s Opinion? Get the ‘Ethan’ App and Ask Ethan!
There are just some things you just can’t ask Siri–and for that, you’ve got Ethan. Think of him as the friend you never had, only cooler, because he created this awesome app (which he aptly named after himself) that lets anyone get in touch with him, anytime, anywhere. Ethan Gliechtenstein originally made the app so his friends could send…

Yovo Photo-Sharing App Messes Up Screenshots to Protect Your Pics
So a lot of snaps that were taken and sent using Snapchat were leaked recently. I, for one, am a firm believer that if you need to have an image deleted mere moments after you’ve taken it, then you probably shouldn’t be taking that picture in the first place. Scores of people disagree, so if…

Need Cuddles? There’s An App for That and It’s Called ‘Cuddlr’
Sad? Lonely? In need of a hug? Well, Cuddlr does you one better by not only finding you someone to hug, but someone you can actually cuddle with. The concept is interesting but an app that lets you meet up with strangers so you guys can cuddle is a bit…off. Cuddle is a location-based app…
