**Apps in action, development, or just launched: here are three that have caught
our eye this week that help either specific causes, or put the control in the fundraiser’s
hand to launch their own campaigns. **

UK-based social platform Palringo, which lets users play multiplayer games in a 
group chat situation, has just released new Superhero gaming bot Hero Squad for 
its annual campaign, which launched this month – this year Heroes Against Hunger–
and from which it will donate 50 per cent of the proceeds between its two charity
partners: [Action Against Hunger](http://www.actionagainsthunger.org.uk) and [Islamic Relief Worldwide](http://www.islamic-relief.org).
Over the past three years, Palringo has raised over $750,000 for charity, and is
aiming to increase this to $1m through the new release.

A mobile iOS micro-donation app that features a newsfeed of causes and current events
that users can donate $1, $2 or $3 to by dropping a virtual token on that story,
before sharing their action on Facebook or Twitter with the *spottag (similar to
a hashtag but replacing the # with an asterisk), to prompt others on their social
networks to do the same. Currently US-focused, the app launched this month with 
the aim of a wider roll out in the future.

Due to launch on 1^(st) September, free app CharitApp is designed to let people 
to raise money for themselves and/or for their communities, as well as for organisations
and NGOs to raise money for their causes and programmes. The app will place limits
on how much people, groups, and organisations can raise, and donors will receive
a detailed description of how their money will be used.
