Today's Best Apps: Boom And Mystic

May 8, 2013
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. Remember: Even though in-app purchases typically require your iTunes Store password for processing, you can further prevent them and other unauthorized actions by enabling local restrictions using the passcode locked iOS parental controls.

iPhone:

MYSTIC* by Sara Acker ($0.99, 13.8 MB): Take your photos to the max with this far out camera and image editing app. It's about having passion for photography, nature, each other, and life in general. In fact, all of the content within the app has a 1970's peace, love, and emotional expression vibe to it. For example, here are just a few of the more than 250 phrase and quote text overlay choices: "Music makes everything better," "Born to be wild," "Keep on keeping on," and "You are my sunshine." The app also features 31 filters, 52 effects, 25 frames that may be inverted, resized, repositioned, and more plus exporting to the iOS camera roll and other apps as well as sharing via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest

Universal:

Boom! by Happy Sprites (Free, 48.1 MB): In this adorable and quirky physics-based puzzler, Boom sets out on his monocycle to save Pinky from the clutches of the evil wizard Belzaar. As the sorcerer continues to place Pinky unwillingly inside of a birdcage for whatever reason, which is what keeps things progressing, Boom must locate and then free his friend by smashing open the prison with the motorized monocycle. Of course, the primary objective is to rescue Pinky, but you'll also want to strive for completion speed and thoroughness, such as collecting all of the coins. If the solo campaign isn't enough, challenge a friend or stranger in a turn-based match involving one of the medal award objectives as well as compete against the world in large scale tournaments. The game features cartoony 2-D graphics, 81 levels across multiple environments, dual-thumb controls, plus an in-game store with 10 costume and more than 20 monocycle upgrades.
