In the words of my favourite utility app designers: “Tapbots are utility robots designed and engineered for your iPhone and iPod touch.” I first came across them whilst trawling through the app world and haven’t forgotten them since. They’ve managed to breathe life and personality into an area of app creation not usually renowned for being fun – utilities. Each creation to date (Calcbot, Pastebot, Convertbot, Weightbot and the smash hit Tweetbot) has been lovingly crafted to be a playful, enjoyable and wonderfully-designed experience that touches the heart. If you haven’t played with these little robots yet, then I suggest you download them now.
