Touristlink is a very social travel application that pins its reputation on the personalities of the locals. Whereas most travel apps deal with the places you go and the things you see, this one tells you all about the people you meet and the folks who run the hotel that you are staying in. But, of course, it doesn't end there. Touristlink also helps you find great places to visit and offers great deals from local entrepreneurs. It also has a social element where you can meet other travelers and share travel stories and favorite destinations. Touristlink is the ... Read more
We've featured reviews on some great project management applications recently like the freelancer-friendly Solo and the powerful AtTaskMobile and Project Bubble and Bitrix24 sits nicely alongside them. Yes I know, Bitrix24 hardly rolls off the tongue, does it? Sounds more like a John Carpenter scifi movie rather than the brilliant set of cloud-based customer relations management tools that it turns out to be. Oh, and one other thing I failed to mention. This brand new social and business enterprise network for iOS and Android is completely free if you have twelve or less employees working for your business. Sounds like ... Read more
Do you remember the fuss a while back when Facebook started to roll out their 'find friends nearby' feature and promptly had to withdraw it because they might have 'borrowed' the idea from elsewhere? Well, Friendthem had the patent on the idea and here is that very same (with a few improvements) app which now works in connection with Facebook but independently. I guess the big difference between Friendthem and other social networks is that while the likes of Facebook and Twitter are great at connecting with people they lack a little impetus when it comes to continuing those connections. ...

Do many of you keep your professional accomplishments up to date on a regular basis or do you only update them when you are applying for a new job? Personally, it's the latter I'm afraid but I totally agree that it would be far more organized and sensible to keep an ongoing record. WorkSimple Individual Edition is a free business and portfolio application where you can detail your working career and then adds a bit of a LinkedIn-style social side to share your efforts. WorkSimple's Personal Edition is the easiest way to manage your career. It's a simple professional ... Read more
I guess we are going to refer to pretty well every photoshare with comments application as Pinteresting from here on in. There are lots of them springing up all over the place and each one seems to have its own specific quirk to set it apart from the others. Enpixa is a free photo share app for iPhone where you can add your voice to it so you can tell everyone the circumstances of when it was taken. Well, you weren't expecting that, we're you? When you have chosen or taken your photo just record your 30 second voice over ... Read more
When you think about it, Glassmap owes as much to the Starship Enterprise as it does to evolving geolocation technology. All this comprehensive GPS and communication application needs to complete it is a button that says "Beam me up Scotty" and it would fit nicely on Spock's utility belt. Glassmap goes under the title of a geolocation device but, in reality, it's way more than just that. Not only does it let you share your exact location with friends but there are also tools to share photos in real time, co-ordinate meetings, chat messaging and VoIP. In fact, pretty well ...

You might have noticed a recent trend in newspapers where, if you swish your device over the picture and say the magic word, a whole stack of related stuff comes your way. It's quite a nifty way for the newspaper guys to convince their readership that they are moving into the 21st Century. Well, ImageSpike follows that lead with a rather unique set of tools that lets you link your photos to your social network site with the aid of a cute little logo button or hotspot generator that gets your viewers there with just one click or opens up ...

The first question that one asks oneself regarding this new social video sharing application is why would you sign up to LoopLR when there is a site like YouTube that does similar stuff but on a much larger scale. Well, regular YouTube viewers will probably already have the answer to that themselves. YouTube has got to a point where it's so big that its almost a totally commercial proposition and somewhat impersonal. LoopLR is a much more personalized video creation and sharing application that adds another dimension with its Twitter-like video streams. LoopLR is a free real time social ... Read more
Regular readers will know that there is nothing we like more in the FeedMyApp offices than a new travel application to inspire us to travel to new places. The aptly named TRAVELOG is a social travel blog app for iOS iDevices that encourages travelers to log their travels and share their favorite memories with other members. It features a concise number of tools that allow you to capture precious moments on the go and inspire others with great descriptions of beautiful places around the world. A few years back i was privileged enough to see the most beautiful piece ... Read more
Do you get the feeling that sometimes Facebook misses the boat when it comes to some of the features you wish were there? If you are anything like me there will be things you can't believe haven't been incorporated yet. Pica is a Facebook client for iPad that features all the usual elements we love in the social network like status update, photo upload and messages but also adds a bunch of other gestures that enhance the Facebook experience. Pica is not going to be a set of tools that everyone will use but, for the Facebook user who ... Read more
