Planet of the Apps

SnagFilms
Michelle's first app this week is SnagFilms. This app takes documentaries from the website, SnagFilms.com and ports it to the iPad with a great user interface.

Catch Notes
Jacob's first app this week, Catch Notes is described by the producers of the show as a "poor man's Evernote but this doesn't do the app justice. Jacob doesn't agree with that, he thinks the simplicity of the app is a good thing. That said, it is buggy for now. Overall, the app is a good effort, and the price is right, but this app does need polishing. It'll be good in a month or so.

Idea Sketch
Michelle's next app is Idea Sketch. This app is going along the same lines of a Catch Notes, or Evernote, but it creates flow charts. It's designed as an alternative to loading Word or Pages.

Bike Maps
Jacob's final app this week is Bike Maps. This app helps you find out the best path to take while on a bike ride. Some streets aren't exactly bike friendly and it's much better to avoid them if at all possible. The only sticking point is that most cities Jacob checked were great, your city might be different.

Thanks for watching, and see you next week!
