This week, cull your contact list with cinder, create moodboards in a snap with Plotboard, and gain insight into your math homework with the help of Photomath.

• Cinder - This is a new utility app that you can use to quickly manage your contacts. If it's been awhile since you pruned your contact list, Cinder is definitely an app you want to check out. Once you give it access to your contacts, it presents them to you, one at a time in a Tinder-like interface. Swipe right to keep a contact, swipe left to mark for deletion. Since deleting contacts is permanent, once you're done swiping you'll have one more chance to review your marked contacts for deletion before you get rid of them forever. Free - Download Now
