You're able to snap a new photo in-app or import one from your library. You'll then need to mask your subject, which is made quite a bit easier thanks to tadaa's object detection option. Once tadaa is finished processing the image, just move your phone and watch as your subject pops out from the background. You're able to crop, adjust, and apply filters before uploading your new creation for the world to see. The app also includes profile information, the ability to check out other works uploaded by the tadaa community, and Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter integration.

You’ll first need to download the free companion software for your Mac or PC. Then follow the instructions to get everything set up. Once completed, you’ll be able to control apps and other features on your computer just by tapping on touchpads. The pads can be customized in a variety of ways in order to get everything up and running just how you want it. Actions also includes both landscape and portrait orientation support, 900 touchpad icons to choose from, multitouch support, the ability to backup and exchange your touchpad sets with friends, Dropbox sync, and built-in presets for the most popular apps.

You’re able to display as many or as few currencies on the main screen as you want. Then just tap on the value you want to convert from and all of the other values will be changed. The app includes hundreds of currencies to choose from, which can be browsed through or searched for. It also includes a built-in calculator, history of recent conversions, the ability to reorder currencies, and landscape support.

Its lifelike interface allows you to adjust your workout and break times just as you would expect. All you have to do is rotate the outer wheel to change your workout time and rotate the inner wheel to change your break time. Audio cues will help you determine when to workout, break, and stop. You’re able to adjust the countdown time, rounds, and number of repetitions via the settings menu. The app also includes background audio support, iCloud integration, and the ability to share your workouts via Twitter.

You’re able to select from 35 nature sounds and more than 20 different musical instruments. There are also 18 different combinations to choose from. Then just set the timer and fall fast asleep. Combinations of sounds can be created as well, and you’re able to adjust the audio levels of each one to have them stick out above the rest.

Your job is to try and figure out what the artist, song, or band is by the text art provided to you. If you find yourself stuck you can employ different types of hints, but they will cost you. You can also tap on the art to get a closer look, which you'll probably want to do anyway since it looks so crisp and clean! The app includes eight puzzle sets, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

You're able to choose from two types of algorithms, which will produce entirely different results. Then just touch, swipe, and tap to create unique pieces of art. The app also includes a handful of customization options, like the ability to change line fill and stroke color, resistance, and scale.

It features a unique split screen view that allows you to get a better look at your subject. You’re able to disable the split screen view by swiping up. Zoom in further with a double-tap or a pinch. A photo timer allows you to capture what you’re seeing while keeping a steady hand. The app also includes image stabilization, front and rear camera support, and a built-in flashlight.
