Airlike (Free)
What’s it about? Share content like Contacts, documents and photos with other users simply by pointing your iOS devices at each other with Airlike.
What’s cool? You might have seen apps that use proximity to share data between two iOS devices before, and Airlike does something similar, providing users with a quick connection to share photos, Contacts Lists, videos and other content between two devices, but it doesn’t require the “bumping” or quite as much proximity between devices. Instead, users just aim to iPhones at each other, for example, to transfer the data. Airlike lets each user create a personalized account for sharing, so you can decide exactly what you want to make available and what you don’t.
Who’s it for? Snag Airlike if you’re looking for a quick and convenient way to share data between devices.
What’s it like? You can also share info easily with apps such as Bump and QikShare.
