App stores are crowded places these days, and because storage space on your phone is often at a premium, you’ll want to find and fill it with not only the best, but also the most helpful apps out there. Apps come and go quicker than the latest fashion trends, and digging through Google Play, the iTunes App Store, or any of the others is such a mission; so a little nudge in the right direction is often very welcome. Here are the apps we think you need to check out this week.

There’s no shortage of dating apps out there, but most of them aren’t all that different. You build a profile, upload some pictures, browse through people, and try to meet someone you can get along with. It sounds simple, but trying to come up with something to say about yourself is harder than it sounds. It becomes a game of trying to craft the perfect version of yourself to present to people.

JigTalk isn’t so interested in that. It’d rather boil everyone down to some basic icebreakers and see where things go. Tell people your occupation, favorite thing, and a random fact about yourself. If those things appeal, a conversation van be started. They won’t see your picture—and you won’t see theirs—until that happens, but not all in one go. The longer you stay connected, the more is revealed. When all 16 pieces of the puzzle is gone, you can see their full face. From there, it’s all up to you.
