Unlike similar apps, PaceDJ actually helps you find the right BPM before you get started by having you answer a few personal and fitness questions. It will then determine the correct BPM based on those parameters and find songs that are within range. Then hit the ground running and allow PaceDJ to not only play you matched music but also track your distance and speed. The app also includes the ability to correct BPM for songs by tapping and create interval workouts.
PaceDJ: Music To Drive Your Running Pace is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 142 ratings.
Spender is one of the fastest finance apps we’ve ever used. Upon launch you’re immediately brought to the expense and income recording screen. Just tap an icon at the top to categorize your entry and add a value. You can toggle between expense and income with a left to right swipe across the top of the screen. You’re also able to attach a note to your entry if need be. The app includes the ability to create custom categories and view a detailed breakdown of your entries.

Kingdom Rush is pretty much perfect in every way. You’re able to place four basic towers along the path to defend your kingdom. Each tower works better against some units than others, so you must customize your strategy based on the approaching enemies.
