App Flow

Price: Free
Platform: Windows Phone 7

We know how much you guys love WP7 apps, so here is an app for finding them. META! What we like about this one, though, are the browsing categories that allow you to find apps you might not have otherwise seen. Indie Games, Rising Stars and Hidden Gems are fairly self explanatory, but we also love Forgotten Legends — great apps from times of yore that have been pushed aside by all the new apps coming through.

Do Not Disturb

Price: $0.99
Platform: Android

There are times in one's life where trivial calls are an interruption that you can easily go without — important meetings, for example — but you still want to be contactable by certain people. Do Not Disturb allows you to block out periods of time when you won't receive any texts or calls, allowing you to go about your business in peace, either a one-off time period or recurring. Best of all, you can add important contacts to an exception list, which means that you can still get the calls that matter most.
