ReceiptMatch from AMEX (Free)
Whats cool? ReceiptMatch is a pretty handy app if you're an American Express Business Card customer. The app makes it possible to save your receipts just by snapping a picture of them with your mobile device, which makes it really easy to keep organized and avoid losing important receipts in the future. Even better, the app links with your credit card account, so every time you snap a receipt shot, the app automatically matches it with the corresponding charge on your billing statement, helping you to keep track of every charge at the end of the month. You can also add notes to receipts for more annotation and details.
Whos it for? If you're an American Express customer for your business, try ReceiptMatch.
Whats it like? Digital Receipts and Receipt Wallet are a pair of good receipt-saving alternatives, in case you're not an American Express cus tomer.
Swype (Free)
Whats cool? Typing on a mobile device can be a pain. From goofy auto-corrects to just the irritation of small keys, composing messages and emails isn't always as pleasant as it should be. Swype is best-known for its gesture-based typing input that lets you swipe across the keyboard quickly to make words, with the app interpreting what you're trying to write, but it also supports standard typing and even dictation. It also pays attention to your input and adapts it based on how you use the app, and adapts its langua ge capabilities based on what you write, as well.
Whos it for? If you're looking for a better way to type on your phone or tablet, try Swype.
Whats it like? TouchPal Keyboard and Swiftkey are two popular keyboard replacements, and both support gesture typing.
Zombie HQ (Free)
Whats cool? Lots of games put players in the middle of the zombie apocalypse, but they rarely let you make a home for yourself in the middle of it. Top-down shooter Zombie HQ is a little different. You'll spend most of your time smashing through zombies to find new gear and become a more effective fighter. But between the game's missions, you'll be able to deck out your own zombie headquarters with items like arcade machines, pool tables, and a giant hamster wheel with a zombie in it. Then, when you're done hanging out in the HQ, you can head back into the field and blast through the hordes once more.
Whos it for? Fans of zombie games and shooters will have plenty of both in Zombie HQ.
Whats it like? Try Zombieville USA and Plants vs. Zombies for more games about taking down the undead.

That app is One Today by Google, and it's the top app of the week.

Speaking of awesome futuristic sce narios that we've all seen in movies, haven't you always wanted your very own AI assistant and companion? Well Indigo from Artificial Solutions is a pretty close alternative for now. Like the beloved Siri on iOS, Indigo is a voice enabled personal assistant that actually chats back at you. It'll look up directions, let you leave notes and reminders, find restaurants and showtimes, and most importantly, play YouTube videos, let you update Facebook, and also read, tweet, and retweet on Twitter. As with any app this advanced, there are plenty of kinks to work out and bugs to squash, but just because this isn't quite Cortana from the Halo games series doesn't mean it isn't really cool!
People have had to figure out all new ways to date and find that significant other in the Internet age, and 'Swoon: who's crushing on you?' is just the latest in a long line of OKCupids and lesser OKCupids. Breaking things down to a basic level of face shots and primary interests, you can play a little game of 'hot or not' and like or pass on various people in your given area anonymously, and you can even message each other in-app if it turns out that you and someone else 'like' each other's profiles. The app is super buggy at the moment, but it's a neat idea worth checking out if online dating is your scene.
