If you’re one of those people that frequently misplaces their keys, wallet, or even remote, the BiKN iPhone app and attachment can help you keep track of all these items at all times. In fact, it will let you keep track of up to 8 items – including people.

To keep track of the items you are most prone to losing, all you have to do is attach one of the 8 tags to the items in question and download the app on your iPhone. The tags easily attach to key rings, which is incredibly convenient if you constantly lose yours or are wondering the whereabouts of your kids of driving age. When you lose one of the items that a tag is attached too, BiKN will help you find it in one of three ways:

1. Find Mode – Find mode allows the app to find your item using a visual display and an audio tone.
2. Leash Mode – Leash mode notifies you as soon as a certain item moves out of your specified range.
3. Page Mode – Page mode allows you to find your items simply by sound. All you have to do is hit the page button and all items with tags on them will sound.

So whether you leave your phone or wallet in Overland Park storage facilities after packing away those holiday decorations or in the local Wal-Mart while shopping for groceries, BiKN will notify you to their location – before you leave the area. This early notification is in particular a perk, because it prevents you from getting all the way home or whatever be your destination without your most necessary items.

The BiKN app and tags are definitely a cool idea, however, the only drawback is that you have to make sure that both your iPhone and all tags are charged in order for it to work properly – not something that everyone, particularly those who are prone to losing things, are good at. Otherwise, at $49.95, the BiKN is definitely worth the investment.

The first app of its kind in the USA, Couture Companion tracks where 27 different labels—including Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Steve McQueen, YSL, and more—are sold.

It also allows customers use the applications online, at no cost. Its content is very localised, allowing for mobile payments – something developers say is rising in Singapore.

TrendBlog: Pharmaceutical manufacturer Lion has produced a free iPhone app for school students preparing to take the annual gauntlet of university entrance exams.

Every year high school students travel around the country to new places to sit a series of tough tests at different colleges, hoping to pass at least one at a prestigious university. The stress can lead to health implications, though diarrhea is not one that many people would initially consider.

However, such problems, exasperated by nerves, eating junk food while rushing to exam halls, and feeling unsettled in a strange location, are very real to the sufferers. Being in a unfamiliar setting also makes it harder to deal with the problems, so Lion’s Toilet College app provides the bearings of nearby public conveniences after you enter the name of the institution you are currently at.

The GPS app, which provides information on the areas around major universities in the Tokyo and Kansai regions (Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe), sounds a little tongue-in-cheek. Its attitude towards the subject matter is certainly frank and casual; the locations of the lavatories are marked by large red toilet symbols. However, Lion is in fact using the app to promote its diarrhea medicine Stoppa, and ads on trains suggest the app as, like the product, just another way to combat bowel conditions.
