Readers’ App Reviews – February 2016
Check out some apps released by fellow readers in February 2016 – including an app for know it alls, an app for world travelers, and much more! By Ryan Poolos.
Stream for Twitter
Have you ever wanted to just watch Twitter in Realtime? Stream is here to help!
Stream lets you set up watch lists of interests from #hashtags to @mentions to keywords. You get three for free and then pay $1.99 for unlimited interests. Everything on your watchlist ends up in your stream. Your stream does exactly what you think. Tweets slide in from the top in real time. You can swipe left to like or retweet.
You can also check some sweet charts to see what is making up your stream. The charts show each of your interests and measure the count of tweets. You can use this for some cool ideas like streaming two competing hashtags to see which is more popular. If you’re a Twitter addict, add this to your list of must have apps.

Honorable Mentions
Every month I get way more submissions than I have time to write about. I download every app to try them out, but only have time to review a select few. I love seeing our readers through the apps submitted to me every month.
It’s not a popularity contest or even a favorite picking contest — I just try to share a snapshot of the community through your submissions. Please take a moment and try these other fantastic apps from readers like you.

Where To Go From Here?
Each month, I really enjoy seeing what our community of readers comes up with. The apps you build are the reason we keep writing tutorials. Make sure you tell me about your next one, submit here.
If you saw an app your liked, hop to the App Store and leave a review! A good review always makes a dev’s day. And make sure you tell them you’re from raywenderlich.com; this is a community of makers.
If you’ve never made an app, this is the month! Check out our free tutorials to become an iOS star. What are you waiting for – I want to see your app next month.
