Disney is the latest entrant in the coloring world with the new Color by Disney app. The app, which is targeted at adults, is being marketed as a stress reliever. While there isn't hard science to back that claim, the app is nevertheless a fun trip down memory lane. The Disney version is similar to other adult coloring apps and includes scenes from newer films and Disney classics. The app includes some free drawings and more are available for in-app purchases.
Cool Cousin

Cool cousin saves you from having to trawl through not-always-helpful TripAdvisor reviews. It matches you with someone from a new city whose interests align with yours, so you can find the perfect restaurant recommendations. The app is currently available in 12 cities, though supposedly it's adding seven more, according to the Los Angeles Times. You'll be able to filter your interests, see the "cousins" who share those interests with you, and then learn more about them and their recommendations.
Free: iOS
Evernote

The app allows you to create new notes with just one-tap and you can add more styling to the text you create. The app has also gotten a new color scheme, which is much easier on the eyes.
Tandem

Referred to by Forbes as "the Snapchat of shopping," Yeay is aiming to change the online shopping experience from browsing photos to scrolling through Snap-like videos.
