With new applications appearing hourly, don’t waste your time sorting through the junk to find the gems – here are the best new apps right now:

• RAVN – New in town and not sure where to go for a night out or where to meet people with similar interests? Or maybe you’re bored with your current social palette and want to shake things up? Enter RAVN, the new app being hailed as “the Pandora for social events.” With this app, you can look through thousands of events like wine tastings, openings, zoo events, concerts – anything, really. If you’re interested in an event, you can add it to your list and, over time, the app will act like your own computer programmer and learn your interests and remove events you wouldn’t be interested in.
• Fitness Buddy – Whether you’re a fitness pro or a fitness no, Fitness Buddy will help you out with your goals. This app is an exercise database, complete with more than 1,700 exercises with detailed descriptions, many of which also come with high-definition videos. Complete preset exercise routines of various difficulty levels or create your own custom routine. You can also use this app to track your weight and measurements and it will graph your progress.
• iExit – Headed to a birthday party and need a card? Forget to grab your morning coffee on your way out the door? You may have GPS to tell you how to get to your destination, but iExit will tell you where to stop along the way for gas, food, coffee or whatever else you need. This app works in real time, and tells you what’s coming up at each exit and will find exactly what you’re looking for, even something specific like a Starbucks.
• Clear – If your life keeps throwing more and more stuff at you, Clear is how you keep it all organized. Create to-do lists, guest lists, shopping lists, and even bucket lists with this app. With simple touchscreen commands, like crossing items off with one swipe of a finger or scrolling easily between lists and pinching items apart to insert a project, this app makes your hectic life look manageable. This app also prioritizes your items by color, so you can tell instantly what needs to be done first. A must-have for those attending online classes.
