Each week we round up the most important app news along with some of the coolest new and updated apps to help you stay in the loop. Here's what caught our eye this week. (If you're looking for more, make sure to check out last week's roundup.)
Uber has been on a wild ride lately. And on the last day of June, the company launched a new service.
If you find yourself in Croatia in the near future, you can now hail an Uber speedboat. Yes, that's right. Uber has expanded beyond the road and is heading to the water. The concept, called UberBOAT, has gone through trials in Istanbul and Miami. Croatia is the latest location to see the operation for the summer tourist season.
The boats can hold up to 12 people and will travel back and forth around tourist hotspots on the Adriatic coast. Not surprisingly, your boat ride won't come that cheap — it'll actually be hundreds of dollars.
Coloring isn't just for kids. It's a good way to get rid of some stress and have fun at the same time. But until now, we've just had regular old adult coloring books to rely on — enjoyable, but still 2D on paper.
Magic Painting is a new app that lets everyone enjoy the wonders of coloring with a super special flare. The magic of this app is the AR technology it uses. The app combines what you actually color on paper with its AR tech to make your pictures come to life. Just print one of the options available and scan the finished product on the Magic Painting app. You'll be treated with a photo that jumps out of the page at you.
No matter what anyone (including the president) might tell you, climate change is very much real and happening. And since the whole world isn’t working together to mitigate climate change, it’s up to each of us to make our own impact. Greenie wants to help.
The app gives you advice on things normal people can change in their everyday lives to lessen the blow of climate change. You can buy and have a tree planted to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. And the app automatically tracks your actions to calculate how much CO2 you’re adding to the atmosphere. It will then give you suggestions to reduce that number, helping the natural world while saving you some money. You even earn “Greenie badges” along the way to track your progress and live a little competitively.
Audio network app Anchor has a new feature that allows you to make and publish podcasts directly in the app. The company is trying to "reinvent radio" and adding native podcast publishing is a big step in furthering that goal. Making podcasts is not difficult, but distributing them can be confusing. Anchor's new update takes the guesswork away from that.
