Waze

Waze is the world's largest community based traffic and navigation app. Just by driving with Waze open, you're already contributing tons of real-time traffic information to your local community. You can also actively report accidents, police traps and other hazards you see on the road. Get road alerts along your route and find the cheapest gas prices around you shared by the community. Plus, you can add friends, send locations or keep others posted on your arrival time.

Recently Waze announced an update for both iOS and Android versions of the app - which will make the delay less excruciating. "Time in Traffic Bar" which serves a single purpose of telling you how long you will be stuck in a traffic jam. So, instead of just seeing a red line on Google map that stretches for an inch in front of a dot representing a car, you will see an actual number of minutes, updated in real time, that projects how long you'll be sitting in traffic.

Riff

Facebook launched a collaborative video app called Riff. Its quite a simple app, you can create a video and set some tags for it and then your friends can see the video and add their own clips to it. Once a friend adds a clip, it will be shown to his or her friends and they can add clips to the Riff as well. To keep the things somewhat tame, videos have max runtime of 20 seconds and you can fast forward through content if the video threads become terribly lengthy.

Facebook says that you can share these Riffs on either Facebook or the Web, and you can watch a sample the company has provided here. Riff is available for both Android and iOS.

Todoist

Ready to equip your phone with software to help you meet deadlines. Todoist is one of the app, its iOS version recently got a redesign. Firstly, instead of typing in an item and having to tap a few more menus to assign a due date or tack onto a project, composing all of that info in the text box will automatically complete the necessary tags. The app will input the date and makes sure that the item appears in the correct project. There is also a button at the bottom right of each project screen for quickly adding new tasks.
