Planets

Planets from Q Continuum is the app that’s going to take you to the planets and stars. It’s educational, but it’s a lot of fun too, combining features of astronomy with a planetarium, and the presentation makes for an engrossing exploration of the constellations and planets.

Poshmark

If you’ve got clothes you no longer need and want to sell them, Poshmark is an app that can help, and if you’re a buyer looking for good deals, you’ll find this useful as well. There are a growing number of buy and sell apps for Android and iOS, but this is the only one that’s made expressly for fashion.

Fantasia Painter

Fantasia Painter from Nokola is one of the many photography apps for Windows, but what makes it different from the rest is that it’s also a powerful painting app. So if you’re not content with just applying filters to images and want to be more creative, Fantasia Painter lets you do that.

Mercari

Buying and selling stuff online has become commonplace on computers, but it’s still somewhat unwieldy on mobile devices. But if you want to buy and sell with your tablet or smartphone, you can give Mercari a try: this is a classifieds app that allows you to shop for clothes, gadgets, books and many other things.

Adobe Slate

Adobe Slate from Adobe lets you create a narrative with your images (and can also be used to create simple web pages) using themes and templates. Adobe Slate isn’t just a photo sharing app as it’s also great for jazzing up newsletters, reports or simply tell a story with your photos, making this a versatile addition to your device.

Web of Trust

The Internet is a fun place, but we all know there are online scams, hacked sites and so on, and if you are worried about privacy and security, having a utility like Web of Trust (WOT) can come in handy. This browser add-on, available for Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari and Opera, tells you which websites are the most trustworthy based on user experiences and ratings.
