RentSpree - Most apartment searches involve numerous resources, multiple applications, and too many added fees.

Simply fill out one application, pay an inexpensive application fee, and receive a soft credit check, sparing you unnecessary damage to your budget and credit score. Best of all, their one-stop application allows you to spend more time exploring your favorite listings, and gives our renters a distinct advantage in a competitive market.

Tapp That App - Tapp That App is a new social, app discovery platform that allows you to see the favorite apps of people you follow on Twitter. From family and friends to professionals and celebrities, you'll be able to see which apps they love most. But more importantly, you'll be able to share the apps that you love with your followers and the world. Beyond star ratings, Tapp That App lets you find the apps that matter to the people who matter to you.
