April 3, 2013

Turn your camera-equipped iDevice into a portable scanner with Digiset's productivity app, JetScanner. We also have an app that allows you to add realistic lens flare effects to your photos, and a Foolproof Art Studio.

All app prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. Price changes are solely under the control of the developers.

iPhone:

Ed Meets The Dentist ($1.99 → Free, 102.6 MB): This educational app has your child joining Ed, the young rabbit, on a trip to the dentist to help ease any fears they may have. It includes a full length cartoon to start them off, which details each step your child might encounter during their first dentist visit.

You're able to import a photo from a variety of sources or snap a new one in-app. Then just drag your finger all over the canvas to add a nifty oil painting effect. The quicker you move your finger, the more blurry the effect will turn out. You're able to customize the brush size and effect as well.
