In an attempt to offer some support and relief to the victims of Christchurch earthquake, several Kiwi app developers have banded to together to support the New Zealand Red Cross appeal.

“Buy any of these apps and you are supporting the victims of Christchurch earthquake,” reads a statement on the website.

Until March 5th, 100% of the proceeds of 31 apps from some of New Zealand's top software developers will go directly to the New Zealand Red Cross.

Some of the apps listed are actually free, but the thought's still there.

You can find a list of the apps involved in the promotion here.
