Today's Best Apps: Solid Sound And Word Swag: Holiday Special Edition

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:

Solid Sound by Solid Sound Labs (Free, 23.8 MB): Easily add a little oomph to your music with this iOS Music replacing audio enhancing player. Like other tools, the app works by automatically modifying the equalizer, i.e., frequencies, settings for best performance. However, rather than optimizing based upon the source content, the app adjusts the output according to your headphones/earphones. For example, optimizing for the Apple EarPods seems to increase the mid-range. Apple's in-ear products are supported out of the box, though profiles for 19 popular models from Sony, Sennheiser, Bose, Koss, AKG, and more can be unlocked for $1.99. In addition, the upgrade allows applying bonus tweaks developed by four artists, such as Olli Banjo and Booka Shade.

Word Swag - Holiday Special Edition - Christmas greetings & caption generator for your pic by Oringe Photo & Fonts Caption Co. (Free, 14.3 MB): This Christmas-themed version of the social media-focused photo captioning app allows you to express holiday emotions and ideas with artistic elegance.

Better yet, the developer has included several great phrases and quotes, 40 pattern and picture backgrounds, as well as creative text color mixtures to freely utilize. The app features a built-in camera, image import and cropping, single finger text placement, plus email, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram integration. Images are exported at a size of 2048-by-2048 pixels.
