With all the work we do at uTest UK, and with my general nature of wanting to try new things, I tend to see lots of interesting new apps as they come to the market. Sometimes, of course, they have been there for a while and I've only just spotted them. This is a frenetic market place that I don't think even the likes of Mashable can do much more than keep up with - let alone be ahead of.
This week, I've found / started using three apps which I think are great and wanted to share them with the world!
Here they are:
Ringgo - solving my parking needs and giving me a very nice PDF receipt that I don't lose and can pass on for expenses purposes. As well as making the parking conundrum (do I have the change in the car, how long will I actually be here etc) much easier, it is also taking pain out of my world and putting money back in my wallet. From me, you get 5 stars!!
Biximo - Started using this in Boston with regards to their Hubway bike system. It also covers the Barclays bikes here in London. Nice little app. Works well. Keeps things simple. Shows you in easy graphical form which stations have bikes and which have spaces. V Handy!
LoYakk - These guys have put together a really nice app, which recently won our Usability prize in the Race for Apps in Hackney. Love their approach and the way they've made a way for people to collaborate and comment in streams around venues, that can be kept private to the venue or shared more widely. We're working with them now to set up a special feed for our next event in September to enable real time collaboration between everyone at the event and also to make a record of all the collaborations that can be shared amongst everyone afterwards.
We're involved with Hackney House over the Olympics period and meeting lots of new startups, trying lots of apps and I'll post anything here that I find really cool.
Happy Wednesday!
