Sit back and relax after a hectic week with some fantastic games from today’s list like World of Goo HD, Tower of Fortune 2, and Kiwi & Me. We also have an app that will help your iDevice’s battery perform better after all of that punishment you put it through while traveling for the holidays, and a photography app that will help you get a good chuckle out of your friends and family.

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:

Listen: The Minimalistic Music Player ($0.99 → Free, 1.9 MB): A beautifully simple gesture-driven music player.

Stitch It! will search through your library for all of your screenshots and import them. You can then crop each screenshot to fit seamlessly together as one conversation. When cropping, Stitch It! overlays the previous screenshot, making it remarkably easy to keep things aligned and not accidentally cut out any important parts. Once everything is stitched together, you can go back through your conversation and black out any parts you want redacted. Then share your conversation via email, Twitter, or Messages. Stitch It! is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 102 ratings.
