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
Horizon - Shoot & share horizontal videos by Evil Window Dog ($0.99, 4.1 MB): This nifty camcorder app prevents those obnoxious to view portrait orientation videos. Basically, keeping things always in comfortable widescreen is possible by utilizing the iDevice gyroscope to monitor tilt. By default, the process does include cropping, although, the alternative Rotate and Scale mode opens up the full angle of capture when recording in landscape orientation. The app features a minimalistic UI, three shooting modes, five resolutions up to 1080p, three quality settings, eight filters with real-time previews, three flash settings, iSight and FaceTime camera support, saving to the in-app gallery or camera roll as well as standard iOS export and sharing options.
KaraokeTube by Dmitry Gaponenko (Free, 6.2 MB): Add a little extra fun to nearly any party by breaking out this portable karaoke screener. Friends, family, and, obviously, you can attempt to bust out a personalized version of hits from AC/DC's Highway To Hell to Weird Al's Achy Breaky Song. For the best experience, stream the action to the big screen using AirPlay and an Apple TV. The app features a minimalistic UI, more than 8,000 track library, custom playlist as well as favorite tagging, and is initially in demo mode, offering the first minute of every song. Subscriptions start at $2.99 per week and $4.99 per month with an unlimited option available for $29.99.
NOTE: Testing of the built-in audio relay system had unexpected and unwanted results. I suggest, bring your own microphone, if desired.
