Jets
If you were traveling this past summer you probably ran into the all-too-common problem of not knowing which seats to choose on the plane. Looking at the default airline seating chart when booking your flight tells you little more than your future seat number –Jets takes everything ten steps farther by telling you the exact type of plane your flight is using, providing accurate maps of the seating layout and detailing which seats are truly the best. You won’t ever have to worry about being too close to bathrooms, not having enough legroom, or not being able to recline properly ever again.

500px
Looking at pretty pictures always makes us happy, and Apple devices offer some of the best screens ever manufactured to view them. While there are a numberof picture sharing services that can turn your pad or phone into a high resolution picture frame, 500px is a highly curated compendium geared towards professionals who wish to show off their skillful artwork and burgeoning portfolios. Nature, fashion, architecture, portrait, the categories go on and on, but consider turning off the nudity feature if you’re sharing this with the kids.

Instapaper
Not all of us have unlimited data plans and perfect cellular signals everywhere we go. For people who like to read blog entries, news articles and the like on the fly, this can be an issue. But what Instapaper does is to automatically download all of the sources that you like to read, and stores articles in one convenient place for offline reading. Presenting everything in an easy to navigate format, this is exactly how we want to be able to consume content every day. And yes, Instapaper has been around for a little while, but the latest updates for the iPhone and iPad makes it relevant again.
