You can then share your estimated time of arrival, route, photos, and messages with as many or as few people as you want. The app will send out a notification the moment you have arrived at your destination so everyone knows you're safe and sound.

iMashup - Mashup Remix App ($4.99 → Free, 12.0 MB): Create mashups and remixes from the songs in your library with this music app. You're able to select any two songs from your library, even those you wouldn't think go together. Then zoom in on their audio waves to place points and move them around to adjust the volume of the melodies, hi-hats, and bass lines in your songs. It can take a bit of fidgeting to come up with the sound you're looking for, but the results can be truly amazing if you put the time in. The app also allows you to share your results via Facebook or email, or export them via iTunes File Sharing.
