Ahoy there! This week’s top iOS apps are headlined by a social networking app that lets your friends see what you’re up to so they can join in your fun events. It doesn’t get much more social than that! Our other top apps include a GIF-friendly photo diary, an app for little tykes to learn, one to buy and sell used clothes and another to teach your kids how to cook.
Ribbon (Free)
Have you ever wanted to plan an event with friends without sending a dozen emails about it? With Ribbon, you might just be able to. Ribbon lets users map out their future plans, whether they involve going to a sporting event, concert or conference after which they can then share their map with their friends, so that everyone knows about an upcoming event. Plans can be shared on Facebook and Twitter and Ribbon’s own news feed alerts you to events your friends are planning, too.
Days – Your Visual Photo and GIF Diary (Free)
Photo diaries are becoming all the rage, but Days has an interesting take on the fad. Days doesn’t just want to take a picture of your day, it wants to take multiple pictures in quick succession to GIF your day. Users can easily create GIFs using the app and then add them to the app’s diary alongside an emoji commenting system that favors expressions over words. Users can share their posts on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, text or email, too. Even better, Days offers unlimited free uploads.
