Find A Lawyer

Platform: iOS, Android

Price: Free

You're in the back of the police station, you've got one phone call, but no lawyer. What do you do?

The answer is to negotiate 5 minutes of app use, using this app, obviously, and call the nearest and best lawyer you can find.

Here Maps

Platform: iOS

Price: Free

Stuck on iOS 6 and getting led astray by Apple Maps? Then maybe Nokia can help.

Here Maps covers nearly 200 countries, and has the ability to save map areas when you don't have data coverage.

Is it a winner? Looking at the ratings on the App Store, it would appear not.

Vic Hunting

Platform: iOS, Android

Price: Free

There's an app for everything, and boy has the Victorian Department of Primary Industries been proving that recently.

Today, we present: Vic Hunting, the final app you'll need to hunt animals that are lurking in the Victorian scrub.

The app features GPS integration to direct users in the State Game Reserves, open season dates, and bag limits.

It's not all about finding legal, living things to kill; it also features firearm safety, licence information, and contact details to report suspected illegal activity.

Francis Bacon: five decades audio guide

Platform: iOS, Android

Price: AU$2.99

Sport isn't the only activity that's happening in Sydney this summer. A collection of the works of Francis Bacon will be showing at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and this app will function as an audio guide.

Narrated by the director of the Art Gallery of NSW, Michael Brand, and curator Anthony Bond, the app features audio commentary for each section of the exhibition, and some archival material from the Francis Bacon studio.

The app allows for scheduling program recording, managing recordings, and renting movies.

For these features to work, though, you need to be connected to the same subnet as the Optus TV set-top box.
