No More Boring Apps

I'm intrigued by this Andy.works project of No More Boring Apps; a suite of "every day apps" (Timer, Weather, Calculator) that reimagines the experience to be something more playful and more visually stimulating. The code behind the apps is a game engine capable of 3D, animation, physics and more; so it's a far cry from the skeuomorphism or ultra-flat apps that most of us have become accustomed to.

I'd love to speak more to how these apps function but there is a payment plan involved; $15 per year for access to the apps and some "Skins" to customize them. Frankly, that's not a lot of money at all for something fresh and different but it's also, obviously, a hurdle that most of us aren't used to facing when it comes to installing apps. Free is the thing I suppose.

I will be keeping my eye on the app suites and see what else comes from it. They look great and the marketing materials are top notch.
