One of the more interesting aspects to reviewing and testing the massive amount of apps that come through the FeedMyApp doors these days is to spot the ones that could be the next Instagram or the next Pinterest. Most don't have a hope in hell of reaching that pinnacle but occasionally you come across an app with unique features and a social element that you know has a chance of reaching the top of the mountain. ClipClock is one of those apps. This video and photo sharing app for mobile not only let's you see and share the best videos ... Read more
One of the big problems with new startups is that, even though the developers have come up with a brilliant concept, the app really can't take off without having plenty of members to input information. Quite often, an app really won't hit it's straps until a year or so into its life - if it lasts that long. With Facearound you don't get that problem because it is directly tied to Facebook and draws on a lot of their members' information while encouraging its own members to get involved too. What this iOS app does it to geolocate all the ... Read more

I don't know why people freak out so much about zombies. I mean, they move so slowly that it would be quite easy to just sidestep them and then whack them through the head as they squeal for "brains...more brains" wouldn't it? The success of TV shows like "The Walking Dead" has put zombies firmly in the spotlight again though many of us grew up on movies like George Romero's "Night Of The Living Dead" so we know what it takes to defeat those flesh-eating monsters. So, what do you think you or your friends would look like if they ... Read more
I have a photographer friend who undertook a project a few years ago to take a picture every day that said something about his life and would post it every day on Facebook. Luckily, he was a pretty good photographer and he posted some some great photos that said as much about his work in the fashion industry as it did about his photographic stylings. Threadshare takes that concept one step further with this free dedicated photoshare app for iPhone that is all about fashion but takes it social. Get dressed up, snap a photo, warp it to your own ...

There's a certain disgraced ex politician named Anthony Weiner who would probably still have his job if he had an application like Private ME on his iPhone. You might remember that Mr Weiner shared some rather racy photos with about 40,000 of his supporters last year. Now, if he had this photo self censoring application on his mobile he could have sent his pictures with his face obscured which might have protected both his dignity and his privacy. Now, that wasn't the only mistake Mr Weiner made that night and Private ME would have helped him there, too, because this ... Read more
