In case you haven’t been paying attention, there are a handful of new apps in the Glassware directory and they bring a variety of features and functionality to Google Glass. One is even a companion app to a Glass accessory that we wrote about months ago.
If my count is correct, there are now 108 approved apps in the directory. And this means that 10 apps have been added in just the past three weeks or so.
Here are links to each new app, along with the official descriptions from the directory. (Some do a better job than others of explaining what the app does.)

Postscript: It turns out that there were six apps added this week, not five. The article failed to include the CityRide app, which I didn’t recognize as new because we covered it before the app was approved by Google. So, without further ado, here’s the official description from the Glassware directory:
A powerful and yet simple way to find the nearest available bike share.
I’ve updated the headline of this article to say six new apps, not five.
