You’re able to scan everything from receipts to whiteboards. Just point your iDevice’s camera at your document, allow Scanner Pro to automatically discover the edges, and snap a picture. You can then adjust the size, color, brightness, and contrast of your scan. All of your scans are automatically saved to the in-app library, and they can be shared via email, opened within other apps, or uploaded to Dropbox, Evernote, or Google Drive. The app also includes a grid option for scanning, multi-page support, iCloud support, and passcode protection.

It basically turns your iDevice into a mobile file server. Just select the types of files you want to share and then activate file sharing. Anyone with SuperShare or SuperShare Lite that's within range will be able to pull the files right off your iDevice. The app also includes the ability to move files, zip single or multiple files, and print, preview, rename, or email files. It features both iCloud and iTunes File Sharing support as well.

As you drag your finger across the screen, Flowpaper will add its own waves of color. You're able to customize the length, flow, and opacity of your paint via sliders. You can also choose from 10 backgrounds colors, 20 brushes, or create your own custom versions.

Axis requires you to control two separate sets of paddles with your thumbs. But these paddles aren’t for paddling! You must rotate them so that the pixels travel through them. To rotate the paddles, just slide your fingers across each side of the screen. Power-up pixels will also enter the screen, and you can either avoid or smash them to gain their abilities. The game includes the ability to share your scores, and your game face, via Facebook or Twitter.

The app is able to display your OneNote notebooks just as they were intended, with formatting, links, and images perfectly intact. You can also add text, create lists, add images, create sections and subsections, and stamp styles. The app includes full screen support, favorites, search, and Dropbox and Box support.

You're able to select from four framing styles, and then just start adding photos in your desired order. Each photo can be resized by pinching and pulling with two fingers, and each can include a short caption. Photos can be exported at up to 1,440 pixels in width, and can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or email.

You're able to play any song or playlist from your library, and the information will be displayed on a animated cassette tape. You can play the previous song, skip to the next song, or pause your music by tapping on the animated wheels. The app includes 15 cassette designs to choose from, customizable song queues, and AirPlay support.
