When the App Store opened a year ago, apps were fairly easy to impress their audiences. I remember I was showing around the shake the roulette feature of UrbanSpoons because it was cool. Now more than a year later, an app need to be even more fun and appealing in not only the presentation but content as well. A recent discovery is an another restaurants app by the site UrbanDaddy called The Next Move. The presentation is top notch! Just like UrbanSpoons it also has a roulette feature, but this one is so much sexier. Not only that, it features a lot more options to tune the result to your liking.  From asking what kind of people you are with to what do you want to do with that person~~ However, at the same time it seems you get much less results than other competing restaurant suggestion apps.  It could be because UrbanDaddy doesn’t review restaurants as extensive as others? Hopefully the selection will expand otherwise this app, despite how sexy it looks, will become what known as style over substance.

On another completely different spectrum is an app called Trendy Cantonese Words. This one is definitely substance over style! As someone who not only left Hong Kong when I was a kid but also do not keep up with what’s new over there, I look at the most headline grabbing trendy words and vocubulary as alien languages! I couldn’t even understand what does the word means! This app solve that problem for me because it define all the newest trendy words and phrase that is in the news right now. The presentation is pretty standard except the “shake to hear the pronouncation” function. It’s a fun little app that can really help me when I m reading what’s going on in Hong Kong, especially the entertainment news~ lol
