PLANET OF THE APPS: 6TH DECEMBER 2011

In the run up to Christmas our app reviewer Stuart Dredge will be throwing in a 'classic app' for anyone who's getting a smart phone as a present. You'll find it below with the two new apps.

Path 2 (iPhone / Android)

Path is a social location app that used to just let you share photos with your favourite people, but now it's extended to videos, music - everything you do in your daily life. They're calling it a 'Smart Journal', and it's a beautiful app. But does anyone need this who has Facebook?

Paddington Bear (iPhone / iPad)

Another classy book-app: Paddington gets updated for the iPad, with the ability to record your own voices telling the story, as well as take a photo of yourself with Paddington to send to friends.

CLASSIC APP:

Songkick Concerts (iPhone)

Find gigs near you on your phone, based on the bands in your collection. Will aim to dig out some Android alternatives - or at least talk about the website that's accessible to all.
