I hope everybody reading this is aware of Tumblr by now. If you ask me, I think of Tumblr as a pro-multimedia Twitter on steroids without the 160 character limitation. Tumblr is a powerful blogging platform that lets you create one or multiple ‘tumblogs’ under your Tumblr account. The Beautiful part of Tumblr that has always excited us is that it is beautiful. Their website is very welcoming to the new-comer and their choice of colour, icons and font makes one want to use it. Tumblr’s official iOS app got a major design overhaul a month ago.

This may have happened to you at some point of time in your life — you just cannot remember where you parked your car. Blame it on the ever-increasing vehicular population or simply our overloaded brain capacity that diminishes the ability to remember simple things, it is a common issue. Valet for Android is an elegantly designed app that helps you solve this problem.

There is so much content to read these days, that sometimes it proves to be overwhelming. The more you read, the less you feel you have read.

It is delightful also because apps like Pocket or Instapaper extract just the content you want to read, leaving behind all the ads and other distracting elements typically found…
Cleartrip has been our preferred choice for travel bookings online. Not only do they offer good service and overall reliability, their website has had one of the cleanest and most minimal design we’ve seen on a travel bookings website. They started serving customers on handheld devices first with a mobile-optimised site that yet again shared the same appealing design language.

If not, Filibaba’s Smoothies will tell you everything about delicious & nutritional smoothie glasses. Filibaba Smoothies is from the pixel pushers at Filibaba, known for their other delicious app available in the iOS App Store — Filibaba Meals. Out of the many smoothie recipe apps available, this one stands out with a design that’s as delightful as the beverage itself. The main screen has a playful green color background and a biege coloured linen texture for the recipe pages. The choice of font for the…
Gogobot is a popular Travel website. Known for its clean, simple interface, it also is a social network in itself, allowing you to follow your friends using the service and vice-versa. It also has this neat profile page dubbed “My Passport” that documents the number of countries and cities you’ve been to. Today, we’re taking a look at the Gogobot app for Android. For you iOS users, there is an iOS app available as well. Upon launch, the app requires you to login, either using Facebook Connect or manually signing up for an account. We know that this has become…
