Today I ‘m posting 3 delightful apps I ‘ve recently discovered and grown to really like.
StarTime
As my iPhone app addict husband quickly taught me, the App Store is chock full of apps that display time and time related stuff in really cool ways. I really like the look of StarTime – a Star Trek themed clock app for iPhone and iPod touch. The developers had hoped to have the app released for the movie earlier this year, but had a few rejection hurdles to overcome.
The app delights with appropriately geeky sounds paired with bright colours and blinking lights in a familiar Star Trek design. It does date and time but not much else. Settings allow you to turn on/off this or that effect. Future updates promise landscape mode, more skins and an alarm function. I kinda wish I could change colour scheme from purples to blues but that ‘s just me.
StarTime is available on the App Store for € 0.79 / $ 0.99
Wellness Tip of the day
This app delivers daily fitness and health tips for free by the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Enterprise. Given the relatively dry subject matter, the makers of this app have chosen a very creative UI to display the archived tips. Various sized colourful balls bounce around the screen. You can flick the balls around with your finger or simply shake to see them scramble. Alternatively the balls can be aligned in a calendar view. Tips can be stored as favourites or shared via email. The screenshots do not do the graphics justice. You have to download the app to see it in action. So this app not only delivers info that is good for you but it ‘s fun too!

Simply Lists
I happen to be the world ‘s biggest procrastinator (just ask my mother). So I admit I am a born sceptic of pesky complicated multi-faceted to-do list apps promising to bring productivity and efficiency to my routine. I mean, could I realistically expect my inner sloth to get things done systematically? Time to try another list app…
The beauty of Simply Lists is in the fact that this app does exactly that. It lets you simply compile the lists you need – grocery or work lists, with/out reminders or priorities. It is really easy to use, easy to edit, easy to like. Organize, group and filter list items using tags, import or export lists. It has enough features but it ‘s not overloaded. Sweet!
Simply Lists is available on the App Store for € 0.79 / $ 0.99
