app store finds

Today I Came across a new (to me) website. “TapFancy is a showcase for the very best in iPhone and iPod Touch application design.” Browsing through it, I saw two apps that I hadn’t heard of yet that really caught my attention: Reeder and Best Exit.

I found both apps to look exceptional after just a little time with them, and worth looking at, even if only to see the design.

Reeder is definitely the cleanest feed reader I’ve seen. It syncs with Google Reader. I actually might use it, which is more than I can say for any of the other mobile feed readers I’ve tried. It’s definitely the best attempt to date.

Best Exit is just plain awesomeness. Picture this: you’re on the highway, and want to find the next exit with food/gas/hotel/etc.? This shows you all upcoming exits, their distance, the services available. You can even drill into each exit to find what restaurants/stations/etc. are available, and get more detailed information and directions. The idea is very well executed. It works just as you’d expect.

Both apps are impressive, and well worth a few bucks. Check ‘em out.
