what's going on guys Ron pre-date here from TechnoBuffalo and it was the new year now in full swing a couple weeks in or depending on when you're watching this maybe more than a couple weeks and I wanted to hit you guys up with a list of a couple new apps that I've been using these are not apps that have come out recently necessarily but they're apps that I've begun enjoying recently two may have flown under your radar that I would love to share with you guys in case you want to enjoy them let's go ahead and get started first we have David Attenborough's story of life if you guys are anything like me and fanatics about nature and animal documentaries this app is going to be your best friend David Attenborough narrates a lot of very famous nature documentaries and this app is sort of his all-inclusive idea of a media experience he's on camera talking you through certain chapters and certain topics about deep ocean exploration and then you're cutting to footage that he's talking over it's a really really awesome app the content is amazing and that's really what this app is all about the content the interface is also very pleasurable to use overall this app is a great experience you'll really really enjoy it if you're a fan of this type of stuff the next app is called Prisma now you guys may have heard of this have got an app of the year from both Apple and Google but I pretty much just started using it and I'm having a blast with it in short it's a photofiltre app but it's on steroids it's not like Instagram filters that'll do a slight color grade for you or give you a vintage film look Prizmo will completely transform the photo you take into any style of photo that you guys would like from comics to classical art pieces watercolor type stuff anything and everything in between they have insane numbers of filters and you can put them on to varying degrees what I like about Prisma is that they know what they are and so you don't even have to have an account or anything you can purely just open up the app put a photo through and then upload it to Instagram but they do have a social media side of their app as well I don't know how many people are using this I personally was mainly using it just to get photos to Instagram and Facebook even if that's the case I think you'll really still enjoy it it's a really cool way to differentiate your photos in a world where everybody has the same filters and personal really is doing something different next we have an app that I didn't really think I needed until I actually started using it Google trips and it is what it sounds like it plans your trips for you it'll take a location based on that location you can in reservation things to do they used the same format and interfaces something like Google now does so it's very organized very straightforward and very useful it'll not only help you organize the things you're going to do but also give you recommendations for things to do in certain cities in certain areas and probably the most convenient feature of this app is that you can download certain trips and so you can have them offline which is exactly what you want when traveling because most people who travel know that you rarely have good signal so having everything available offline is a perfect tool to have a successful trip next we have an app that's gonna help you achieve all your New Year's resolutions or maybe at least help you along the way it's an app called coach dot mean and it's more than an app it's a service but the app itself is awesome it helps you build new habits so for me something I've wanted to do is meditate recently a lot and so it'll tell me for a certain number of days in order to build this habit it'll remind me every single day to go ahead and stick with meditating for ten minutes you can do this with working out with eating healthy but what's cool about coach dot means that they also have a social aspect to it so you can actually work with trainers you can pay money and do live consultations and talk with them you can join groups and be part of the social experiment of everyone learning a habit together there's a lot of options that it should help you overall just be a better person if that's what you want to do and last but definitely not least we have an app called dark sky and it's a weather app and you might be wondering why do I need a weather app my weather app works fine well dark sky is a hyperlocal weather app it's extremely precise and is very very information dense you can go through how the rest of today is going to look you can go to the globe and the map and you can see what's gonna be coming up over the next couple of days with a really really cool animated earth you can get all sorts of information like precipitation percentage wind humidity UV index and you can get an hour-by-hour just the way everything is laid out is extremely informational but not complex and very approachable at the same time there's one of the best weather apps that I personally use and I really wanted to put it on list and so that's pretty much it for this video guys let me know what you think in the comments down below of these apps are you gonna be trying any of them out what more do you guys want to see from us in terms of content my name is Ron Frieda and I hope you have an awesome 2017
