Know what bit you — and whether it's dangerous. BugAlert turns your camera into a fast bug, spider and bite identifier built for one moment: when you find something and need to know if it's a threat. Snap a photo and get three ranked matches with honest confidence, a clear danger flag, and what to do next. Built around the danger question • Colour-coded danger verdict on every result: venomous, bites, stings, disease-carrier or harmless. • "What bit me?" mode narrows welts and stings to a likely culprit — mosquito, tick, flea, bedbug, spider, ant or wasp — with first-aid steps and clear red-flag guidance on when to seek care. • Pest mode helps you tell a cockroach from a carpenter ant from a termite, read the signs of an infestation, and decide DIY vs. call a pro. Accurate, honest identification • Three candidates with confidence — never a single overconfident guess. • Species info: common and scientific name, reference photos, range and season. • Voice input for the bug that got away: describe it and get likely matches. • Every scan saved to your history. Important BugAlert provides informational identification and general safety guidance only. It is not medical, veterinary or pest-control advice. For a bite or sting that worries you, or a suspected infestation, consult a qualified professional. ——— This app requires a subscription to use.

About

Heartease

Read full description

Using quotes from the spiritual text " A Course in Miracles", Heartease provides an opportunity to take a break from whatever thoughts are crowding your mind. Sometimes it seems easier just to read a snippet from ACIM as a way of helping yourself move a bit closer to the light, if only for a moment. This was the motivation for making Heartease, something to help in giving you a brief respite to whatever seems to be dominating your mind. Heartease contains over 800 excerpts taken from across the three volumes of ACIM. The quote presented is randomly selected from this collection. They are not repeated but if any one quote is particularly liked, it can be saved to a "favourites" list. You are also able to backtrack through the previously displayed quotes (whether from the complete set or just your favourites. New in this version are the lesson titles from the workbook and the ability to search on a word or term to create a collection of quotes.
