Do you suddenly feel a fever coming on when someone sneezes on you on the bus? Do you refuse to kiss your boy when he’s got the sniffles and avoid that sickly martyr colleague like the plague?

Well, this app may be your dream come true!

The Sickweather app promises to calculate exactly how many people in the immediate area to you are ill – supposedly so you can then douse yourself in hand sanitizer and run for your life!

Sickweather culls its information from public Facebook statuses as well as tweets in which people moan about being sick.

Areas can also be monitored by type of illness – with users getting a map that shades in ‘high risk’ areas.

Users can click into one of the app’s categories to see where, in real time, people are suffering from a specific kind of illness around them.

The app also encourages ‘health accountability’, by letting people self-report an ailment – which is then added to the sick map.

Since launching in November, Sickweather has been named the ‘Best New App’ by Apple in the health and fitness category.

Its co-founder and CEO Graham Dodge helped launch a similar online map in 1998 that helped plot out crime activity.

We’re not sure if there’s any sure-fire way to escape away those nasty bugs, but it can’t hurt…right?

Imagine having a friend who is clued in on how to create the perfect outfit on a night out.

Well, now shop dummies have been fitted with a devise which allows them to tell you all about the outfit they’re wearing, the prices and how to best accessorise it.

The new technology, that enables the mannequins to transmit information about the clothes on display directly to an app on the shoppers’ smartphones, was launched yesterday.

Regular customers might be offered a personal discount on the dress on display by way of a loyalty reward, or they would be able to share the images with friends to get advice on whether or not to buy it.

Shoppers can also store the information on their phone to think about it and buy later from the retailer’s website.

The VMBeacon system has been developed by the British technology and design company Iconeme.

The beacons installed inside the mannequins have a range of 100 metres and a battery life of three years and so can communicate with shoppers even when stores are closed.

Let’s get shopping!

Bumping into your clingy ex or the office bore could be a thing of the past with a new app that promises to help you avoid people you really don’t want to see.

Cloak is a new ‘anti-social’ app that will help you side-step those awkward moments by alerting you when certain people are just around the corner.

The app will pick up where people are by pulling in their location data from your social networks, including Foursquare and Instagram.

Photos of friends are displayed on a map relative to the user’s location and those deemed most undesirable are ‘flagged’, alerting you when they’re near.

The app is the brainchild of programmer Brian Moore and former Buzzfeed guru, Chris Baker who describe it as a way to “avoid exes, co-workers, that guy who likes to stop and chat – anyone you’d rather not run into.”

Speaking to the Washington Post, Chris Baker said that private messaging is the future of social networking.

“Things like Twitter and Facebook are packed elevators where we’re all crammed in together… I think anti-social stuff is on the rise,” he said.

The chances of coming across your celebrity crush on Tinder have just seriously increased.

Tinder are set to introduce a verification for celebrities so you can decipher the real accounts from the fakes – yay!

It seems as if celebrities have it harder than we think in finding romance.

Tinder CEO Sean Rad has said that the verification for celebrities is to combat fake profiles that are so often made for high-profile stars.

As a Facebook account is needed to use Tinder, this poses another obstacle for famous faces as many use aliases or simply don’t use it at all.

Rad says this is being dealt with and that a famous person will be able to change his/her Tinder name as well as preserving their Facebook privacy.

Now, it’s time to swipe until we find Bradley Cooper.

Revealr, the new dating app, aims to find people dates without the superficial use of photos.

Instead, the app will allow potential dates to hear a 20-second clip of one another’s voice to determine if they may be compatible.

One of the creators, Guy Harrington, has said that the idea came to him after a disastrous date he went on through Tinder: “One morning, after a Tinder date, my flat mate Paul and I were sat hungover in our underpants and thought, why don’t we do a blind date style app not based on looks but on the voice which shows their personality? That’s how Revealr was born.”

Would you use this app as opposed to ones with photos of potential dates such as Tinder?

A new app called BroApp is causing a stir as it sends automated texts to the user’s other half allowing more hassle free time out.

BroApp allows users to write sweet nothings to their girlfriends and set them to be sent at certain times, meaning more time out with the lads and a secure girlfriend at home.

Just in case you think this rouse couldn’t last long, think again. The app is so clever that it identifies when the user is at his girlfriend’s house by the WIFI network and cancels any upcoming messages that would uncover the truth.

It also acknowledges when a real-time text has been sent and cancels any impending ones.

Even scarier, the app has a “Girlfriend Intrusion Detector” meaning that when a girlfriend tries to enter the app on their boyfriend’s phone the app shows up a list of gifts the girl might like. Because if you see a list of things you would love to be gifted you’ll forget all about the reason your looking through his phone in the first place, right? We thought not!

BroApp is only available on the Android Play Store at the moment.

A new exciting app has just been released onto the Apple apps store that is designed to make the lives of those suffering with type 1 diabetes easier.

Those who suffer from diabetes know it can be both difficult and dangerous to calculate the portion of carbohydrates needed and how much insulin is required. Sick of guesswork and calculations, Health Apps founder and health psychologist Deborah Wilder came up with the Cook & Count Carbs App.

Wilder developed the app after learning how difficult it can be for diabetes sufferers to monitor their carb intake when her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes age ten years old.

The Cook & Count Carbs App allows quick access information about carbs content of nearly 2000 ingredients and can stop the nightmare of counting and calculating for type 1 diabetes sufferers.

The app can also be useful for those trying to control their weight through low-carb diets such as Atkins or athletes who need to monitor their carb intake.
