New apps to try this week

Well, I'm still suffering through nearly a week straight of no power now. My house is sitting at about 47 degrees, my fridge is empty and I've waited a total of nearly three hours in line for gas so far. Luckily I have a few family members that do have power, so my family and I have been moving around in search of heat, power and a place to sleep where we won't freeze our a$$ off. Since I'm so dedicated, I have a few hours to spare this morning and didn't want to leave everyone in the dust, so I've found another handful of apps to check out this week. Keep reading to see what I found.
