It’s been a strange month for apps, with people seemingly avoiding an app launch until Google have held their event on the 29th. Whether or not this is the case, there has been a smattering of good apps and once again we’ve rounded up the best 10 for the month and presented them for you here. We do this every month and we’ll continue to do it. We’re always open for suggestions and a healthy discussion in the comments is always something we like to see. Without further a do, these are the Top 10 Apps for the Month of November!
There’s been a couple of things in the keyboard space lately, just a few days ago we got to see SwiftKey’s new project Flow, a swype type keyboard from the folks that have delivered arguably the best keyboard on Android for some time now. Here, however, in Keymonk we have something a little different even still. This isn’t your typical keyboard but, that isn’t to say that it’s not a good choice or something that you can used to. You never know, after giving Keymonk a try you might have found your new keyboard?
This is a real unique app in that it shares images with people but, the images show up for only a few seconds and then they disappear. This sounds pretty stupid on the face of things but when you think about it, having to work with only a few seconds can help you be creative with your pictures in a different way, you can send whatever you want for example and have a lot of fun with it. With NixPic you can send some riskier photos or just those down right hilarious moments that can only be shared in a few seconds.
With all the talk of filters and HDR in mobile photography these days it’s perhaps hard to forget that focus is something that can dramatically alter how our your photos look. Being able to focus properly and akin to that of a dSLR on your smartphone gives you a whole lot more flexibility when it comes to framing your shots, what subject matter you can get in and how things will look on the other side. It’s a great app if you’re more interested in taking a good photo as oppose to editing one into a good photo.
If you’re someone like me, you appreciate typography quite a lot. I’ve never been the typical arty type but I absolutely love the effect a good font can have on something. It’s no longer just in written word either, with publications moving to the web more and more and institutions like ourselves becoming coming place, typography is a key thing of modern design. With Fontly, you can take photos of examples out in the wild, share it with others and discover other examples mapped by others. This is great if you’re looking for inspiration for an upcoming project or some form of art for a new move. It’s a great little app and something I’ll be experimenting with for some time to come.
A lot of us rely on Google News, sometimes we don’t know that we do as a lot of widgets us it as their main source. If you’re somebody that conciously navigates to Google News daily then this app is going to make you very ‘appy indeed. The app draws from Google News in your area and neatly presents you with up-to-the-minute news as soon as it hits Google News. The app is a simple, holo themed app that doesn’t try to do too much and keeps a wonderfully minimal look that we certainly wish other apps would follow.
