When was the last time you had to search through your wallet or purse just to find your rewards membership number? Have you ever accidentally packed your wallet in your checked luggage? What about the time you went out for a long walk while on vacation and got completely lost with no idea how to get back to your hotel?

Tripini, developed by shonikIDEAS, LLC., is designed to accommodate both casual travelers and frequent flyers alike. If one thing’s for certain, this is likely the last trip planning app you’ll ever need to purchase.

Concept and Functionality:

As someone who feels the need to plan for almost everything, I love apps that include built-in checklists to help me prepare. After all, why spend all that time thinking about what you need when someone else can do it for you? Not to mention the fact that premade checklists usually include tons of things we otherwise forget about. Tripini has you covered, though, and definitely won’t leave you in the dust.

One of the things I love most about Tripini is the fact that everything is organized nicely and neatly. Planning for a trip is almost never as exciting as actually getting there, and it’s nice to see that Tripini tries to make it a bit easier. Along with the ability to create comprehensive packing lists, you can also keep track of travel tickets. While this shouldn’t be the only way you store tickets, it definitely serves as a great backup in case you lose your confirmation email. Read more »

You can also specify whether or not the bill is recurring, as well as if you’d like to receive an on the date the bill is due or the day before.

Once you’ve entered bill information into OnTop, you can use the built-in calendar to see when various types of bills are due. This is perfect for users who don’t want to be surprised.

NutriAid is an app from Gad Levy. The point of NutriAid is to help you diet. Now we all know that dieting, being healthy, watching our weight, and getting daily exercise is a challenge, but NutriAid is here to help ease the process. While you may still be the one that has to be on a diet, NutriAid does some work by directing you towards a more healthy and fruitful (no pun intended) lifestyle. The app comes with a number of excellent features and a stellar design that will keep you motivated and healthy. If you are looking to become more healthy and fit, I would definitely recommend checking out NutriAid.

Features

To start, NutriAid has a variety of great tools and features that make it an excellent dieting app to have. The most prominent is the fact that NutriAid will customize your diet based on your physical traits. This gives you a level of personal customization that is hard to get with most fitness or dieting apps. The developers have created a unique system to measure out amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, meats, fat, sweets, and oilseed that should make up your diet. One of the other impressive features of the app is that it comes with an extensive food list that you can choose from, from a variety of restaurants. The app also comes with a built in intake graph that can give you a visual example of how much you are eating. The application has a favorite foods list, snack alarm, and a search tool. These features combine to help create a dieting app that is just for you. The last thing is that the app works on a point system, so you have the ability to exchange one type of points for another type of points. For example, if you want to exchange some meat points, you can trade them into fruit points. This gives you some flexibility in your food options.

Medical information can be one of the most difficult things anyone will deal with. From stacks of paperwork to lengthy instructions from doctors, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with information. If you’re looking to take charge of personal health, this is the perfect app for the job.

Patient Whiz, developed by Ann Maria Hester,MD, is designed to help individuals stay on top of their medical records while helping to teach good habits on preventative medicine and other medical necessities.

Concept and Functionality:

Patient Whiz was developed by a medical expert, author, and patient advocate, and the expertise definitely shows. It’s extremely easy to create a user account and start using the app. Basically the app functions as a medical logbook, allowing you to create individual entries by filling out forms specific to that topic or condition.

Occasionally medical apps tend to mirror the confusion and complexity of the very documents they attempt to simplify, but Patient Whiz isn’t one of them. Everything is available in chapter format on the main screen so you can quickly and easily locate whatever you need. From general health information such as allergies, family history, and hospitalizations to preventative medicine, you can keep track of almost anything in the app.

Patient Whiz can function as more than just a written logbook, however, by providing you with the capability to scan documents and even record voice notes. This is perfect for patients who want to record everything that took place in the doctor’s office or hospital quickly and easily. You can even ask your doctor to record voice notes for you, almost eliminating any risk of miscommunication or confusion. Read more »
