The app is loaded with a variety other features as well, like the ability to adjust line width and color, add text, annotate photos and maps, create multi-page PDFs, backup your creations via iCloud, and edit any and all elements. neu.Notes+ is available for free for a limited time.

The app includes a handful of features that set it apart from the native Music app, like intuitive gestures and Twitter and Facebook integration. But its true defining feature is its Last.fm integration. You’re able to use SmartPlayer on as many devices as you like and it won’t interfere with the scrobbling activity between them. It's also able to scrobble offline and sync when back online. The app also includes iTunes Match compatibility, neat "bokeh" album artwork backgrounds, and a Wi-Fi-only data mode.

At the beginning of each level you will be asked to collect a specific number of ingredients. To collect an ingredient, just match three or more in vertical or horizontal lines. You are provided with a limited amount of moves in order to complete your tasks, so try to create large matches to earn power-ups and cascading combos. The game includes dozens of levels, and the ability to compete with friends on Facebook. Cookie Jam is available for free today only (04/27). It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 5455 ratings.

When everything looks in order you can share your creation via Facebook or Twitter, or you can upload it to Cineverse for the whole world to see. Camera Studio is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 107 ratings.
