Apps to check out this weekend

In this week’s edition of our Apps of the Week post, we’ve hand-picked 5 titles for you to check out this weekend. The selections include a video streaming app with a unique twist, a different kind of Twitter client, a full-featured annotation app, and two new games that you won’t want to miss!

Look

The live video streaming app space is already crowded, with entries from major player like Facebook and Twitter. But Look offers something the others don’t: the ability to request a stream. Want to see what’s going on in Time Square? At the beach? The local bar? As long as someone at your desired location has the Look app installed, you can send them a notification asking for a live video stream. This is one of those things that sounds really cool on paper, but a lot of people have to start using it for it to be so. This app is available for free.

Finch for Twitter

Twitter is know for its 140-character excerpts, but the social network can also be a great place for discovering great photos. That’s where Finch comes in. The app turns your timeline into beautiful streams of photos, with features like Following, Lists, and keyword/hashtag search. Use the Explore feature to discover new and interesting photos, and instantly save, retweet or like them. This app is available for $2.99.
