The App Store takes delivery of hundreds of new apps per day. The overwhelming scene makes it possible to easily overlook an exciting game, valuable productivity suite, etc. However, we have a solution. Today’s Best Apps tackles this problem by providing you with a handpicked and tested list of apps that are truly worth your consideration each and everyday.
Wave - Voice your photos by LuckyTR (Free, 12.7 MB): Join a social network where photos become true stories. Rather than trying to express the emotion of the moment through text, images are paired with immersive sound or a passionate narration. For example, your photo of the orchestra performance can be accompanied by a clip of the beautiful music and the picture at the lake could include a quick version of the story of how it's your favorite spot. Of course, all of this is about sharing moments with the community where others are free to leave comments as text or voice messages, follow one another's activities, and bookmark their favorites. The app does require a Twitter or Facebook account.
