Apps Weekly - Issue 17 - Your Weekly Dose of App News

My Two Cents...

Anyone else binging Christmas movies!?!? 🎄

First off... Happy Flippin' Holidays to yah! 🎁

This week I came upon a new AirPods feature, some surprising news on dating apps, and I learned how to leverage apps in order to calm Adult ADHD by a very entertaining YouTuber.

Also... Both DoorDash and AirBnb companies launched on the stock market this week? That was exciting to be able to trade 2 more companies whose apps live on my phone. It's insane where this app thing has gone to now.

Enjoy the light read this week in your free time and I'd love to hear from you. You're absolutely invited to hit the reply button and share anything that's on your mind.

Cheers to you! 🥂

AirPods Pro Peeps... Have you tried the new Spatial Mode!?!?!

It's pretty wicked how well it works but in podcasts, it can feel like the host is sneaking up behind you! Maybe it'll bring a new level of connection to you and Tim Ferris.

Dating Apps Are Booming Since COVID

Really interesting read. Not just to see how astounding the revenues are for dating apps but how these apps actually create unique outlets for people in these times. Especially the marketing pivot that the popular LGBTQ app Grindr pulled during these times.

VSinder is Tinder for programmers! The concept is adorable... You don't see profiles... You see their code and swipe 👈 or 👉 based on it. Hey, if you're looking for a partner that has great job security, swipe-right on them all.

(Rumor Alert 🚨) Is Twitter sunsetting Periscope App?

I remember tuning into people broadcasting live during the Paris terror attack's in 2015 just as this app got into the spotlight. It was weird to see what was going on from the eyes of a bystander on the street currently. I haven't used this app much since but apparently, it's still around... but maybe not for long.
Here's some links if you want to check it out.

Apps to calm your Adult ADHD

Jessica's entertaining channel focuses on ADHD. In this video she talks about gamifying your life and drops a ton of great app suggestions. I'm messing around with 2 of them now and if they are worth it, I'll recommend them in a future Apps Weekly. Awesome video on the topic here.
