Never fear, the weekend is here! That means it’s time for another edition of our Apps of the Week roundup. This week we have some great picks for you including a blood health app, a productivity booster, and an app for frequent flyers. And as always, we’ve selected a fun game for you to check out.
Carrot Care: Bloodwork Tracker
I know what you’re thinking: “how can I give my iPhone more private, personal information on my health and well-being?” Well, the answer is Carrot Care. The app aims to help you become a healthier person by making it easier to understand and track your bloodwork. It can scan documents for automatic bloodwork logging, it has a catalogue of over 1000+ bio markers, and it can produce a daily custom health plan based on your test results. Plus, all of of your health data is stored locally, meaning it never leaves your device. So yeah, our iPhones can tell us what is in our blood now. Cool.
SpeakFlow
Power users unite! SpeakFlow is a handy tool for those of you who use Notion—the popular notes/todo/wiki app. Available on both your Apple Watch and iPhone, SpeakFlow makes it super easy for you to dictate impromptu thoughts to a specific Notion database of your choosing. Starting a translation using the tool just takes a single tap, or you can speak-to-start using Siri. I know there are some users out there who use the Notion app for literally everything, and if you’re one of them, it seems like you should check out SpeakFlow. I love well-built, hyper-focused utility apps like this.
ByAir: Airports & Flights
Fortunately my career and overall lifestyle doesn’t require air travel very often, but if yours does, byAir seems like an interesting app worth checking out. I realize there are a ton of these flight-tracking apps out there already, but this one has a sharp interface, maps and info on over 2,000 airports all over the world, and tons of other useful features. Check to see if your flight is leaving on time, where the nearest place is that sells tuna sandwiches, and if you have time to grab a couple of those sandwiches and make it back before your plane leaves. After all, it’s a well-known fact that passengers love it when you open and eat multiple tuna sandwiches during your flight.
Mowing Mazes
What do you get if you combine a maze puzzler with a relaxing lawn mowing simulator? Mowing Mazes. It’s mow-mazing! Ok, sorry. Anyway this is a game in which you must solve increasingly tricky maze puzzles as you mow your way through a fun-filled adventure loaded with interesting characters. The controls are swiped-based and easy to learn, you can customize your mower with tons of items, and there are even mysteries to solve. Do you have what it takes to mow your way to the top of the lawn league leaderboards? There’s only one way to find out.
