Exit APPROVAL BIANCA BOSKER Oh, Behave! And Let Your Phone Help MOST OF THE TIME, my phone makes me rude. I’ll break eye contact to send a text, leave conversations to snap a photo, or look down from dinner to check my email. Awful stuff. It’s about time my gadgets made me less of a jerk, not more of one. Presenting six apps that would make Emily Post proud. CHART SOURCE: APPLE; DATA AS OF 08/22/12 NAMERICK ($0.99) CLEAR ($2.99) THANK YOU PEN Never scramble for a name — or offend a “Mary” you called “Martha” — ­ again. This app makes you a namememorizing master, no herbs required. Nothing says “jerk” like missing a birthday or forgetting the dry cleaning. This gorgeous app will actually make you eager to add things to your to-do list. Be grateful: For $1.99, they’ll send a personalized card for you written in real pen. Glitchier than Apple’s Cards app, but cheaper and more charming, too. PERFECT PHOTO HABITS PRO Stop being that late friend with this app that uses traffic info, your location and calendar events to tell you when to quit dawdling and get a move on. No more tagging such unflattering photos of your friends. Perfect Photo puts an airbrush in your pocket for all your skin-smoothing, teethwhitening needs. You should floss more. And when was the last time you told your mom you loved her? There’s no denying bad habits with this chart-rich app to get the goal-oriented in gear.
