2. RunPee (IOS & Android- $0.99). Sometimes the best apps offer solutions to our most basic needs. Like trying to figure out when to answer Mother Nature’s call when you’re at the movie theater. RunPee is an app that will alert you, by vibration, of the best times for a mid-movie bathroom break without missing the best scenes. It also provides you a synopsis of what you missed while you were away. The app is constantly updated with the most current movie listings.

1. MindRDR (Google Glass- N/A). Our number one app will be out in the near future for Google Glass. While we may not have flying cars and teleportation yet, we will soon have an app that will allow you to take pictures with your mind. A London company will soon release MindRDR, an app that can interrupt your brain waves and take a picture by using your thoughts. It works by using a monitor to detect extra levels of activity in the brain, so when the user begins to concentrate on an object, a horizontal line appears on Glass’s screen. The more the user concentrates, the higher the bar moves. When it reaches the top, the device’s camera shutter fires. Continue to focus your mind and the white line will once again reach the top, sending your photo off to social media sites. It’s not the flying car we were promised, but the MindRDR app will be a game changer for the future market of apps.
