Hipmunk Flight Search
Theres no shortage of travel-booking sites and their associated iPhone and iPad apps, but Hipmunk aims to stand out from the pack by showing users the best flights in terms of convenience and quality of life. The app, which just got a facelift, organizes airline flights by agony, taking into account the number of stops and the length of the flight. However, the app only searches available flights; users cant buy tickets right inside it.

Cooking Light
Sponsored by the Splenda Brand, the Cooking Light app provides more than 300 recipes along with photos, many of which were taken specifically for the app. Cooking Light aims to help users make meals, while taking into account the nutritional value, as it displays the calories, sodium, and fat in the meals.

iTrans NYC Subway
For those living in the Big Apple or even visiting, the MTA NYC Subway is often a primary mode of getting around. But its not always quite a stress-free experience as service changes often and trains, of course, arent always on time. iTrans NYC Subway aims to bring a little more organization to subway travel by showing users the exact time the next train is supposed to arrive at any station, and the apps latest update gives it even more useful features. New in version 4.1 are push alerts for service disruptions as well as schedules that reflect recent changes in service.
