Field
Trip
Google released a new app called Field
Trip this week. Working in the background of your Android, the app has cards
that pop up on your phone’s screen when it thinks you’re around something
interesting. For instance, if you walk by a building downtown, a card might pop
up that explains its history. Or, if you’re near a popular restaurant, a card
might let you know that there’s tasty food to be eaten inside.
Parking Panda attempts to make finding your next parking
spot a little easier. The app, which is a little pricier than your average
parking spot, lets you reserve a space at your destination before you arrive.
(No more driving around to look for a space!
Foursquare
Already updated for iOS 6, Foursquare released another iOS
update this week, simplifying the design of the app and adding personalized
search categories. The map within the app can be toggled so it only displays
previously visited places or locations you’ve saved, i.e. places you've added to
your “to-see” list for the future.
Zeebox
Zeebox starts as a television channel
guide, but quickly becomes much more. Clicking on a listing will bring up a
particular show’s page, and connects you to other people watching the same
program. Already popular in the UK, the app is now available in the U.S. for iOS
devices.
Facebook Messenger for iOS
Facebook updated Messenger for iOS this
week. The biggest change you’ll probably notice in the app is a new bubble
design for conversations. Other improvements include the ability to see your
full contact list by swiping left on the screen, and the ability to add your
most-messaged friends to the top of your contact list. Facebook updated the
Android version of the app last week.
