Fathoming a world without smartphones is akin to using dial-up internet instead of broadband (i.e. we just couldn’t get by without it). One of the greatest things about smartphones (which come in oh so handy on a long commute or replying to urgent work emails on-the-go) is the onslaught of nifty little apps to inform, entertain and simply wile away the time.

Every week, iFashion will bring you the best fashion apps to download to your smartphone and iPad. Currently heading up the top of the Sunday Times Apps list for 2012, The Cut on the Runway has been named the best fashion app available.

Released last year, the free app is a must have for über-modern fashionistas who blog, comment, vlog and upload their way through life. The Cut covers Fashion Week (photos and videos from the events a mere hour after the shows) its after-parties, and up to date news from New York’s: The Cut fashion blog of the same name. You can use nymag.com’s Lookfinder tool to browse through 100,000 runway looks and even rate your favourites.

Jam packed with quality content, The Cut app is stylish in design, like a glossy magazine and easy to navigate. User interaction is key, with the voting system placing each season’s top looks within the “100 Top Looks” section or “100 biggest misses” depending on the amount of hits or misses it receives. The app also enables easy sharing via Facebook and Twitter.
