QuickAdvice: Spanish Touch Trainer Helps You Learn Spanish

Spanish Touch Trainer is a fun and effective supplement to your Spanish studies. The focus of this niche app is verb conjugation, arguably the hardest part of learning Spanish for a native English speaker. Spanish Touch Trainer takes advantage of the iDevice functionality to take the monotony out of textbook study and drills. It has a beautiful user interface and feels game-like, though it is a serious learning tool.

QuickAdvice: Selectively Colorize Your Photos With ColorBlast!

ColorBlast! is a cool selective photo colorization app. You can make a photo black and white with just a shot of the original color, like ColorSplash, but ColorBlast! takes it a step further.
