Lush photography, simple and light-handed infographics, and fun
comparative views like “human vision” vs. “tiger vision” make this app
for the World Wildlife Fund easy and enjoyable to dive into for all ages—something we know is not easy to achieve. |
I don’t know about you, but my iPhone seems to love losing power at a rapid rate. Every single day. Whether I’m using it to follow a routine at the gym or trying to find that hole-in-the wall dive bar my friends are at, I have to constantly unlock and check my phone. popSLATE might be the coolest solution to my problem. |
Anyone that’s been to Portland knows it rains a lot. This iOS micro-weather app is especially helpful to us because we like to walk, bike and take advantage of nature, which surrounds us here and is easily accessible. Dark Sky basically only does two things, but it does them well. First, it graphs out the expected rain intensity for the next hour. You can quickly see when the rain is coming, and how hard it will fall. Second, it alerts you before the rain comes. You can set the threshold to light, medium or heavy, and an alert will be sent shortly before that threshold is expected to be reached. |

Paper has taken the metaphor of your standard duty sketchbook and packed it up into a tight, fast, fun-to-use iPad app. You organize your work into different sketchbooks, which you can name and (within tight limits) customize. You swipe through books that have dimension and texture. Surely a list of titles or a grid of books would allow you to show more books at once, but hey, this works out just fine. |
The iOS apps from social shopping site Svpply are lessons in “just enough.” Brand consistency, smart interactions and a great frame to set the stage for high quality photos of interesting products, these apps just plain feel good. |
