In a world where most phones are permanently left on silent, how do you reach people in a time of urgency? When calls, voice mails and text messages go unnoticed and unanswered. NeedUNow – an app available to download on iOS and Google Play – fixes that issue with their simple, highly effective product.

The first thing you do is create your list of emergency contacts, which you can edit at any time. Cross compatibility means you can add and communicate with Android and iOS users, which is huge for an app like this. Now, when you’re in a situation where you need to notify somebody urgently – and you need them to see it – you can use the app to send a message to your emergency contacts.

But what if their phone is on silent, or the app is closed? It doesn’t matter, NeedUNow forces an audible notification so they will be able to read the message and be notified immediately. Whether it’s an urgent piece of news or a life-threatening emergency, being able to reach the people you need to quickly can have a huge impact on the outcome of the situation. It’ll also share the last known location of the device, if location services are enabled.

NeedUNow allows you to reach who you need to, when you need to. Check out the app today on Google Play and iOS or visit their website needunowapp.com.

Props Love is a new app aiming to change the way we give feedback to the staff who we interact with daily. It’s a positive-only feedback platform, so leave the negativity at the door! The app is available to download on iOS and Google Play.

Rather than reviewing the entire company, on Props Love you’re giving feedback (or props) to the individual who you interacted with. It’s a great way to praise a member of staff and show appreciation for those who go above and beyond for you. You get to highlight their strengths and send a personal note to express gratitude.

As a staff member it’s easy to set up your profile. Once you’re set up, you can start receiving props or requesting them to see how you’ve had a positive impact on somebody’s day. You’ll earn real rewards for getting props which you can turn into gift cards for Amazon, Target, Starbucks, ULTA and more.

Props Love makes reviews personal – but in an appreciative, positive way. If you want to be a part of this which, let’s face it, you do, check out the app on iOS and Google Play now.

DooriGo is a security app to give peace of mind to individuals and their friends & family, as life can be full of uncertainties. It’s available to download now on iOS and Google Play. The app is useful for a variety of people; the elderly who live alone, friends who are travelling, spouses who are deployed in the military or travel frequently on business, the list goes on. At its core, it’s for people who are away from their loved ones and can be a valuable tool in case something bad happens.

The way the app works is simple – the user receives a text at a set time during the day and has a window of time (also customizable) to reply. If the user doesn’t reply, it notifies their chosen contacts so they can personally check-in to see if everything is okay.

In case of emergency, the app will broadcast the phone’s last known location to the chosen contacts. It stores encrypted data regarding the location of the user’s will, bank accounts and other special instructions regarding pets and anything else.

DooriGo gives peace of mind to friends & family, so they know the user is safe and to check in if anything seems out of the ordinary – potentially stopping a bad situation from turning worse.

It also gives peace of mind to the user, who can rest easy knowing that, should anything go wrong, people are aware and can send help sooner. In the event of a serious emergency, close contacts will have access to the information they need to make the necessary arrangements. You can download DooriGo on iOS and Google Play.

In January 2018, social media feeds took a step back in time as users uploaded selfie after selfie alongside their historical art twins — all thanks to the Google Arts & Culture app. The app quickly went viral as people discovered they had rather interesting art doppelgängers, such as young boys from the 1700s, Roman gods, and even various caricatures from obscure artists. It didn’t matter if the match was a hit or miss, as CNN reports that the app topped both the iOS and Android app charts the week it took social media by storm.

However, there’s more to the Google Arts & Culture app than just finding your art lookalike, as it’s filled with other fascinating features. For instance, many people dream of visiting iconic museums like the Louvre in Paris or the Tate Gallery in London. Luckily, through the app’s Explore and Discover feature, you don’t need a passport to view over 32,000 artworks from 46 museums all over the world. Additionally, some of these museums have given users an all-access pass through guided tours found on the app’s Video and Audio Content feature. And its Education feature offers art education to anyone with tools like YouTube videos, quizzes, and other learning resources.

This project has been in the works since 2011, when Google opened its Cultural Institute in Paris with the aim of bringing tech and creative communities together to find novel ways to open up art and culture to the world. According to HP‘s report on the Google Arts & Culture app, it was then that the tech giant began to build relationships with museums across the globe in an effort to digitally catalog all of their archives. These efforts have since borne fruit: Unsearchable art now has the chance to be discovered and shared, and ultimately, the app was created. The digital archive not only helps museums keep their pieces for the centuries ahead, but it also helps them protect art from flooding or accidents, like in the case of this damaged Dalí painting in a Russian gallery.

Aside from museums and galleries, the app is also reaching out to lesser-known art communities. Case in point, they put the spotlight on Indian rural artisans by launching the ‘Crafted In India’ series last October. This new feature showcases the beauty of their crafts to digital audiences who might not have been aware of rural Indian art before. And with the help of musical star Lin Manuel Miranda, over 350 paintings from Puerto Rico were digitized for the first time just last November. Puerto Rican artists have long faced space limitations and fiscal restraints to showcase their paintings, but the app has now given them a spot on the global digital stage.

While the Google Arts & Culture app may have gained its popularity because of its viral Art Selfie feature, its purpose of showing the wonders of the art world is absolutely vital. Whether it’s zooming into various brush strokes through its robotic Art Camera feature or digitally strolling through a far away museum, the app provides users with an enlightening art experience unlike any other. To step inside this creative marvel, you can download the app on the App Store or Google Play.

The motto of this app is “Invest in Your Mind” and we couldn’t agree more. MoneyBall is a brand-new memory-slash-brain-training app available to download on iOS and Android. With simple gameplay and competitive modes, it’s the ideal game for those who want to see how their memory skills hold up against other players.

Unlike other brain training apps which can be overwhelming and complicated to grasp, MoneyBall‘s gameplay is streamlined and simple, yet it gets devilishly challenging. A pure test of your memory, the aim is to watch a sequence of symbols appear on screen, remember that sequence and repeat it exactly before the timer runs out.

In addition to playing against the clock, you can play in real-time, head-to-head duels against other players or in tournament style matches. Each round gets more difficult as sequences become more complex, giving players of all skill levels a stimulating challenge.

By beating the clock and other players, you’ll earn chips. The more chips you earn, the higher up the leaderboard you’ll go and the more bragging rights you’ll get. MoneyBall also features a handy direct messaging system so you can communicate with friends, organize head-to-head games or – even though this is not good sportsmanship – brag!

If you’re looking for a fun game that’ll also help improve your memory and mental fitness (very useful), then check out MoneyBall on iOS and Android today.
