Cost: Free Usability: When you're in a new place it's nice to know where things are. AroundMe provides you with locations for pretty much everything you could need. Whether it's the nearest cashpoint, coffee shop, petrol station, or hospital, the AroundMe app points you in the right direction so you always know where you're going. And this is undoubtedly it’s coolest feature – put it into augmented reality mode, and you can use the back camera to look ‘through’ your iPhone’s screen in order to see an overlay of what is physically around you. It integrates with TomTom, Navigon, and other navigation software, and you can even find out cinema schedules with it. Although it can be used in a variety of different countries, listings can be a little inaccurate sometimes and the augmented reality mode is slightly off sometimes (though it seems to be improving with each update). The advertisements can be irritating too, but for £1.99 you can get rid of those. | Pros Augmented reality option makes it even more fun to use! Cons Has been honed for the United States, but other countries could still be improved. |
