From Fancy comes this new social app for iPhone & iPod Touch to help you discover great stuff with ease. As their creator says, Fancy is part store, blog, magazine, and wish-list, a place where you can search, find and share everything you discover by “Fancy-ing” it interacting with a twitter-like followers.

The app has a nice look & feel, not too sophisticated but sober for these kind of apps. Its design is focused more on bringing the user an intuitive & fast experience similar to other apps, rather than a sophisticated difficult to learn one.

A remarkable point is the excellent performance of the app compared to others we have tested. Even though the primary content are images, they load really quick and the scrolls are not only smooth but also fast.

A drawback will be that user posts are difficult to find, having to enter your profile, scroll down to the bottom of your profiles view and taping your “Fancy’d” button. Nevertheless this can be solved with simple change on a new release.

Nice to try, excellent for bookmarking and sharing things that you like, discover, want to by or simple admire we recommend this app & their cool website, and if you want, you can follow me!

Today we have tested an application that had some attention in the media and which looks pretty nice. Mobli lets you discover photos and videos about the things you love, the people you find interesting and from places around the world. Mobli uses a geo-localization feature when posting your photos and to show you from other places as well.

The app comes with social features like sign up using Facebook and sharing via email, Facebook and Twitter. From the dashboard you can start posting your photos or discover what other users are posting using whether the channels, around you, the most popular, to search for a topic or using the live feed, where you can access to a live stream of what other users are posting.

The UI is pretty intuitive even with all the features around that could make it noisy and disturbing, but the way they are using it makes the experience pleasant and enjoyable. It lacks of some functionality that we can find in other photography based apps like Instagram but i’m sure we all see that feature really soon.

Twitter has recently updated its mobile web application, integrating HTML5 and a introducing a new design very similar to its well-known App for iPhone and iPod Touch. This new mobile website works very well in Safari, replacing its address bar with a fancy menu bar with shortcuts to Twitter’s main features: Timeline, Mentions, Direct Messages, Searches & User Profile. The Timeline has a nice performance with smooth scrolling and also displaying users thumbnails. One cool feature is that tweets now displays images within, saving time to open new web browsers windows to display pics. As a result Twitter came up with fast & cool web app, very similar to its iOS app and with an excellent user experience, just like Twitter’s blog said:

“This web app allows us to provide a high-quality and consistent Twitter experience on high-end touchscreen devices.”

… and they sure achieved this.

Nike and Apple have developed a sensor that tracks your run (with an iPod/iPhone device) and syncs this information later directly to Nike+. The Nike+ Sensor comes with an application (we will cover it later in another post) and you can also get more stats on your daily runs at their website, wich in this case we will show the screens for their iPhone compatible mobile website.

Kickball is a new way to play with Foursquare, Twitter and Facebook using the same logins, but they add a lot of efforts in the UI design which is really eye caching. They say “We simplified everything down to what matters most—friends and places.”

In its roadmap we can see Kickball soon will have support for Gowalla and Loopt.

Path is not only another social network, is more like a personal social network (as defined by The New York Times) to share and stay in touch with close friends and family and has limit of 50 friends. That makes Path a social network to share your moments only with people you trust.

Path has a nice and clean interface and an interesting way to tag your photos wich I find it really easy to use on the go. Path has also a web interface to access to your moments or your friends’.
