5 Must-DL Apps This Week: Facebook’s New App, New Gmail + More!

Halloween may be a week away, but life is still business as ush here in What’s App-ening Land. Two of our go-tos made shiny new apps that you need to get your paws on pronto, we’re celebrating the European release of an app that wants to inform you about some really nasty, dirty things and there’s a recent release that you so totally needed back in grade school. Add it to the list and settle in for the five must-download apps we clicked across this week!

1. Rooms: When Facebook creates a new app or launches a new product, we’ll still listen. They may not be your go-to social network these days — but they’ll always be your first. (Not counting Friendster.) The latest release from Zuck + Co offers up virtual “rooms” where users can go to talk anonymously about the specific things that they like. Sound really familiar? It should if you grew up in the ‘90s and ever a/s/l-ed in a chatroom on a dialup connection.

Cost: Free on iOS (Android version coming later!)

2. Clue: No, this isn’t an app version of the old board game, this is a newly updated app focused on female health. It’s a period tracker that leaves the pink and the flowers to someone else and brings science to your cycle instead. Using data you provide, it can predict your period and things related to it — PMS, moods, your fertile window and more. And that data takes seconds to input instead of a diary entry’s worth of time spent telling your phone about you each day. Oh, and that interface? Gorgeous.

Cost: Free on Android and iOS

3. Inbox by Gmail: Gmail might already be the word that comes after the @ in your email, but the whole experience is about to get better with Google’s new app meant to bring less stress to your inbox. It bundles together similar messages, highlights important info within emails and lets you perform actions like checking into flights right from each message. Look for a more in depth writeup on the Inbox by Gmail experience soon!

Cost: Free on Android and iOS — email inbox@google.com to request an invite!

4. Photomath: This smart camera calculator almost (almost) makes us want to go back to school to have an excuse to bust it out while studying. Okay, I take that back, but check out how cool this is. Take a picture of a math problem in the app and it will help you figure out what x is. When the equation is a little more complicated it also shows you how the steps break down to solve, making it the simplest tutor ever. How about next up, an app that does the same thing for splitting up group bills?!

Cost: Free on iOS and Windows Phone, Android app coming early 2015

5. CosmEthics: Just launched in Europe during TechCrunch Disrupt across the pond, this app wants to empower you, the consumer to know exactly what’s in the beauty products and makeup that you’re slathering all over your bod, face and those of your family members. Just scan a product’s barcode and it will screen the toxicity of its ingredients, pick out allergens you tell it to scout out and tell you if it’s vegan or not.

Cost: Not available yet in the US — stay tuned (and DL Think Dirty while you wait)

Bonus: ICYMI Apps

Snapwire: Make $$ from those Instagrams, babygirl!

Morph Masks: These Halloween headcovers are only enhanced with a little augmented reality action.

Upon searching, you’ll get a preview of the trail with reviews and photos from the Google Maps community. You’ll also be able to see the trail’s difficulty as well as what it’s used for.

2. Detailed Google Maps directions bring you straight to the trailhead or park entrance

3. Get informed when there's a heat wave warning

When you Google search for information on extreme heat events, the engine will show you details on predicted heat waves, tips on staying cool, and any urgent health concerns associated with hot weather. This feature is helpful for exploring National Parks in particular, so you’re not risking your wellbeing for exploration and fun. These warnings will pop up in a conspicuous space on your screen to eliminate confusion.

Take our favorite celebrity BFF's, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, and our favorite celebrity couple, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and you truly get one big happy family. Earlier this summer, Blake and Ryan showed up to the Eras Tour to support the "Fortnight" singer, and on July 25, Taylor returned the love by making a rare lengthy post to her Instagram story.

Here's everything you need to know about Taylor Swift's relationship with Blake Lively's kids as their godmother.

Taylor Swift/Instagram

Taylor Swift posted a photo to her Instagram story featuring Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy — all of whom are involved in Deadpool & Wolverine, in theaters July 26!

"Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on the planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film," she says. "He's created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich."

After joking that Ryan, Blake, and Shawn randomly crashed her photo, Taylor continues, saying, "Shout out to Wade Wilson [the character played by Ryan Reynolds], aka my godkids' sperm donor!"

Ryan Reynolds had the funniest reaction, and told Deadline, "I'm going to need that on my gravestone, actually."

"Yeah, that is kind of it. She is the godparent to my daughters," the Deadpool actor continued. "That was very sweet. Not just sweet, that was, like, you could probably quantify a box office based on Taylor just doing something like that."

Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management/Noam Galai/Getty Images for Disney

In the past, Ryan Reynolds has been vocal about how much his kids (James, Inez, Betty, and Olin) love Taylor Swift, and the family's appearance at the Eras Tour even went viral!

"I think what's most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor's just like an aunt, like a friend of Mommy and Daddy that's very, very close, almost family," he says onThe Jess Cagle Show. "And then they went to a concert one day and were like, 'Ohhhhh, this isn't a hobby.'"

Yes, you read that right: no need for frantic “when is the best day to book a flight” searches anymore. Google Flights just launched a price guarantee program designed to save you money.

The new program takes the stress out of planning vacations and traveling by allowing customers to buy their plane tickets worry-free. AKA, if you buy a ticket at $300, and before the flight takes off the price changes to $250, Google will pay you the $50 difference.

Image via Google

According to their website, “Google's algorithms are confident that the price you find is the lowest available before the flight departs. After you book on Google, we'll monitor the price until the first flight in your itinerary departs. If the price drops, we’ll make up the difference.”

In order for you to qualify for any refund, your flight must be booked through select Book on Google itinerarieswithin Google Flights and have a ticket price change of more than $5. You can receive up to $500 back per year for up to three open price guaranteed bookings at any one time. If you qualify, you’ll receive your refund after the first flight in the booked itinerary has taken off.


Additionally, you must book with a U.S. billing address and U.S. mobile phone number. Refunds are sent via Google Pay, so all users must set up the Google Pay app as a U.S. user.

Pretty sweet, right?! We’re all about budget traveling and certainly hope to see more transportation companies adapt this program in the future.

Holidays are a 1000 times better with kids. From baking holiday treats together to getting in the spirit with DIY holiday decorations, everything about the festive season is new and exciting as they wait for the big day to arrive. My daughter recently turned 10 and there have been so many wins (and a few duds) under the tree that I thought I'd share our favorite gifts over the years (that are great for *all* kids, not just girls). From interactive toys to educational kits to gifts that will get them away from screens and excited for the outdoors, these unique gifts will inspire creativity and spark their imaginations while being totally fun too!

Woom Bike

My daughter has grown up with these bikes, from the Balance Bike to the Explore Bike with disc brakes, 7 gears and all-terrain tires, and she LOVES them. They're super light and glide easily, even the kickstand is so smooth. Woom Bikes are designed specifically for kids at every stage. They are pricier than other bike brands, but I find that they resell very quickly at a high price point so you essentially get your money back. Choose from an variety of colors and levels, and they even have a warehouse option for gently used Wooms.

Micro Kickboard Foldable LED Scooter

This is on our holiday wish list because my friend and her son love them so much. These scooters are Swiss-designed, three-wheeled, lightweight and durable enough for well kids. They conveniently fold for easy carrying and perfect for traveling and on-the-go and when your kiddo doesn't feel like walking (but you do).
