    Jenga

    by NaturalMotion

    Apple used this app to show off the iPhone's gyroscope; the stack of Jenga blocks rotate as you physically rotate. The effect is quite amazing and it's like that tower of blocks is really in front of you. This app is well done and plays a lot like the wooden version, without the hassle of re-stacking all of those pieces. Jenga is a prime example of a game that translates perfectly to iOS and adds some killer features.

    Snapseed

    by Nik Software, Inc.

    Camera apps are a dime-a-dozen on iOS, but editing is another story. Apple and countless other developers have given this a try and Snapseed knocks it out of the park. This semi-pro app has the crop, rotate, and effect basics, but then it ups the game with its Selective Adjust feature where you can change just a part of the photo. You can straighten an image (which isn't even possible in iPhoto) and then tune the ambience, contrast, and white balance. Sharing is also enhanced by including Google+ sharing (Google bought Snapseed in 2012) and printing capabilities. Snapseed will let your images shine in whole new ways.

    WI Orchestra™

    by Wallander Instruments

    Not only can you make music by talking into your iPhone's mic, but you can do so by blowing into it as well. Unlike other well-known apps, WI Orchestra includes a normal keyboard layout and several quality instrument sounds. The app comes with a violin, trumpet, flute, tenor saxophone, and timpani for free. You also could just play the keyboard without the breath control, but that would be less amazing.

    Location services always make for fun tricks and Glympse is no exception. This app shares your location when driving to a limited audience and lets them know just when you'll arrive.

Anyone on any OS and device can pull up your Glympse session to see where you are and even how fast you're moving. Even better is that this works on a computer too.
