Think of us as your smartest friend." The first line of Gem's description in the App Store really gets one thinking about several questions. You could contemplate on a scale of 'how many smart friends do I have?' to 'Am I not smart enough?' But leaving the self-examination aside, here's an app that is modeled after your own thinking — or so, it claims. Gem — true news, launched on iOS platforms last week, and is developed by Henry Boldizsar, who also worked for the meditation app Calm. So, who better to try this out that someone who is tested on the basis of keeping up with the news? We invite media student, 23-year-old Anuradha Nagar to give it a workout."
