At Fueled, we often share an internal anthology of awesome new apps. As mobile developers, we’re lucky to hear about and download innovative new apps every day that make our lives easier, entertain us, or keep our eyes and hands busy in awkward situations.

Here’s what’s on our radar.

Refresh

Refresh syncs with your phone's calendar to give you an overview of people you meet with. The app aggregates social data around every contact, then builds a profile around their interests and connections. In other words, Refresh gives you talking points and context to every meeting. Refresh also allows users to jot down tidbits and details to keep track of noteworthy details.  It's a little creepy, but we imagine it's a great tool for filling awkward silences.

Stick the small tag on anything you fear could easily be lost or stolen like an iPhone, a pair of keys, or a bike. The little device works in conjunction with an app that makes it easy to find your belongings anywhere, even if it's just stuck in a cushion. We're going to ore-order ours today!
