No-Hitter Alerts

No-hitters can always make for an exciting ending. No-Hitter Alerts in a very unique baseball app and does nothing but track no-hitters.

For example, if you want to receive an alert for the Chicago Cubs after no hits before the 6th inning but don’t want to receive them for other teams until after the 7th inning, No-Hitter Alerts gives you that option.

I Wish I Could Read Wikipedia Like This

Google releases Helpouts app for iOS

Google Helpouts is a service that uses Hangouts to get users with questions in touch with experts. Categories include Computers & Electronics, Education & Careers, Fashion, Fitness and Music, among others. You use your Google account to sign in, and the interface is plain but intuitive.
