AfterHour, Sider, Unacademy Languages, and other apps to check out this weekend
Is it the weekend? Yes. Then that means it’s time for another Apps of the Week roundup. This week we have some great picks for you, including a Stonks! social media platform, an advanced AI chatbot, and an app that helps you learn a new language. And as always, we’ve selected a fun game for you to check out.
AfterHour: Stock Chat & Alerts
Stonks! Amirite? Listen up, finance bros. If you want to get the inside track on moonshot stock market plays, you have to check out AfterHour. You can set up alerts for when major players make a move, track how much money is transacted, and you can even live chat with other traders about impending news. Think of it like a social network for stock traders. So, do you have the diamond hands to become the next Roaring Kitty? Check out AfterHour and find out (Disclaimer: this is not financial advice. I know absolutely nothing about stocks and I’m not even really sure who Roaring Kitty is).
Sider: AI Chatbot & Assistant
Given Apple’s AI-heavy iOS 18 announcements, I’m not sure what is going to happen with all of these AI chatbot apps. But if between now and the update’s launch this fall, you want to see what contextual AI looks like, Sider seems like a fun app to check out. It utilizes all major AI models, including ChatGPT 4, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Meta’s Llama 3, and Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro, and it can interact with content shown on your device’s screen. It does this via its ChatScreen feature or through screenshots, and it can use this info to help with work, school, math problems, etc.
Unacademy Languages
Unacademy Languages is an app that—surprise!—helps you learn new languages. Its pitch is that it can teach you to speak foreign languages in a fun, exciting and stress-free way. There are teaching slides that explain concepts, culture and context for words and phrases, and a Speak feature to help you practice and improve your language skills. It sounds like the app only covers Spanish right now, but you have to think support for other languages is coming. I think this is just one of those apps you are going to have to try out, to see if it is a fit for your learning style. ¿tener sentido?
21 Letters
21 Letters sounds like a bad romance movie, but in fact, it’s actually the title of a clever word puzzler. You get 21 letters, every day, once a day, and you must play them on a Scrabble-like board and see how many words you can make. Once you run out of letters, or can’t make any more words, your daily round is over. I love everything about this game. The UI is classy and the concept is genius—you essentially play Scrabble against yourself, once a day and try to get the highest score possible to share with your friends and family. Sounds like a great way to spend your weekend mornings, over coffee.
