this app invites you to do random and quirky things to strangers you meet via the app.it was inspired by the UK magazine Benrik and billed as the first Marxist mobile app. i like the way in which you interact with the random acts and how it alerts you when your near someone else to bestow them upon. some of them are pretty risky. i guess that part of the fun?

A humorously illustrated reactive audio toy by a group of italian design students. Very similar to MouthOff from UsTwo. Their concept uses numbers, math and logic programmed in Processing and ported for iOS using Open Frameworks to create the animation and interactions.

i’ve made some amazing panoramas w/ this app. the results are stunning. not a fan of serif type vs icons, but, quality of the stitched photos is stellar!

one of the most elegant and simply designed weather apps. its basic circle represents a 24 hour day, then temp in the center in big type, a color band surrounding represent weather conditions. also, includes a nice sunrise/sunset indicator and subtle clock element. you can set mult cities and it DOES have extended forecasting and more detailed weather outlook. one of my top 10 apps used daily.

A selection of colorful yet minimalist wallpapers for your various devices and desktops. I’d snag them quick as it looks like its seasonal. Thanks to @bradbarrish for the tip!

i showed this to my mom who is an avid solitaire gamer and she commented its beautifully designed, but, she would have liked to see more than the standard solitaire game as options. i love that its got parallax scrolling starfields and fab video game mechanics. if they added extra game configurations per mom it would put it over the top! another -awesome- app from local new york developers. thx to @KittiesPlayNice for the tip!

an interesting visualisation for listening to music for an audiophile who wants to review each movement of a piece. you could even teach yourself how to sing music by ear using this! made by a japanese design shop and hence has a very unique method to controlling the music, like a dj does a record. scrubbing the audio file forward/backward is common interaction. very elegantly designed!

since relocating new york, this app has come in handy when navigating the various subway stops to and from brooklyn. its taken the simplicity of massimo vignellis original design and modernized it to be used w/ gestural interactions. they also have a day/night view w/ changes to subway stop coverage. simple, elegant and colorful and useful to boot! right from local nyc developers!

In Blind World you steer (tilt and/or touch controls) some sort of paint bubble in an empty room. There are invisible objects and walls to be painted with your bubble. The more you paint the more visible will become the world you are rolling in. Blind World is a very pleasant and peaceful relaxing game to play. The artistic graphics and the peaceful music makes it to an app of art with poetry for iPhone and iPad!

The world re-known Poolga (which loosely translated from spanish means Flea) are long time friends of app.itize.us and have a fantastic indie fine art website showcase for iPhone and iPad. They are truly taking it to the next level with their simple, elegant and easy to use native Wallpaper library app. I would have downloaded it even if it costed a few dollars.
