App Review: Tip Calculator

Nothing puts the dampeners on a friendship quite as quick as individuals being precious about the bill at the end of a meal. Between talk of who had what, and “I didn’t have a dessert” and who ordered all the extra bread – someone will no doubt be scribbling down the information on a napkin and trying to make sense of it all like Russell Crowe in a Beautiful Mind. Tip Calculator is the answer to this madness and can save you from a few needless arguments.

Unless you’re a) strapped to wi-fi constantly or b) care-free about roaming charges, finding your way around can be costly, but Maplets is the cost-effective answer. The app downloads and stores thousands of maps from around the world and allows you to browse them offline.

The worst part about going on a trip has just been made easier by PackPoint.

App Review: RunGo

With so many running apps on the market, it’s hard to know which ones to take seriously. All of them come with a tagline about ‘best one yet, or ‘the only running app you’ll ever need’ and to be quite honest, most are plain average. So it’s with caution that we approach RunGo that promises all of the above and more.

App Review: Lastpass 4.1.5
