148Apps 2013 wrAPP-Up - 148Apps' Staff Discusses Their Favorite Under-Appreciated Apps of the Year

Posted by Carter Dotson on January 1st, 2014

There are a lot of apps that were released in 2013, and it's easy for some of the great ones to fall through the cracks. 148Apps' staff has gotten together to discuss some of our favorite apps of the past year that you might not have heard of. These are our favorite underappreciated apps of 2013.

Heyday


The tagline for Heyday is "Journaling Reimagined," and that's pretty apt. The app will run in the background on iOS 7 devices and track where you go; matching those GPS coordinates up with business locations and with photos you take. The app then presents you with a detailed map and list of locations you have been each day. After a couple weeks of use, it's fun to look back and see where you've been and what you've done; all gathered automatically. - Jeff Scott

Rando


Rando is the photo sharing app that wanted to do everything different than Instagram, to even having circular photos rather than square ones. It was the anti-social network, but there was something cool about getting a photo that no one else got, and sharing photos just for the sake of sharing a cool, random photo; not to try and get likes for it. - Carter Dotson

Debt Down


Debt Down is one of those apps that I wish I didn't need to bother with, but I'm very glad to have it around. It truly does help me to visualize my debt - and my progress in getting rid of it - very easily. I only wish I'd been able to use it sooner! - Rob Rich

MyPermissions - Online Privacy Shield is a trust certification program for iOS developers, helping them build a level of trust between companies and its customers. The trust certification programs requires that developers agree to a list of standards to protect the personal information of their users. Those who complete the program are able to display a shield icon on their website, making their followers feel more at ease about giving up their information.

“Consumers are often unaware of the dangers associated with online privacy and are not cautious when sharing personal information,” said Olivier Amar, CEO and co-founder of MyPermissions, in a press release. “With the Trust Certification Program, we give developers the ability to provide a safe online environment for consumers when interacting with apps and websites. Developers who chose to participate in the program display a level of trustworthiness and accountability when it comes to protecting information."
