No matter what it is you need to read, Flash Reader is able to present all of the text word by word. This allows your brain to really absorb and understand what you’re reading even though the text is flying by. You’re able to pull content from the web using the built-in browser, open it into Flash Reader from another app, or copy and paste it. You’re able to adjust the speed and amount of words per flash along with the text size and font. The app also includes Dropbox, Instapaper, and Pocket support.

When you have a task that needs to be completed, just snap a photo of it. You can then create a due date and a short note if absolutely necessary. Every time you access a task, you’ll see the photo you have taken first and then all of your details. Tasks can be marked as complete, edited, and shared. Look also includes the ability to create lists, have the camera launch immediately, and automatically delete old completed tasks. All of Look’s additional features can be toggled on and off through your iDevice’s Settings app, and not through Look itself.

The app will automatically populate itself with all of the artists contained in your music library. You can then scroll through the list alphabetically, and simply tap on artists you want to follow. Roadee will then send you a push notification as soon as something new is released. Of course, you can also use the app to discover discographies you didn’t even know about and listen to previews. You’re able to share your discoveries via Twitter, Facebook, Messages, email, or AirDrop.

Spoof is basically a twist on charades. You must first split your group of players up into two teams and grab your iDevice. Then instead of only one person from each team acting out their clues, everyone but one member must join in on the fun. The person that was selected to sit out must do all of the guessing! You’re able to score and skip clues with taps and swipes. The game includes five level packs to choose from, with 200 different clues in each. Additional packs can be unlocked using coins earned through various means, but you won’t have to jump through any hoops today thanks to the developer offering up a free pack of 100 coins. To obtain your free coins, tap the “Common Questions” section in the main menu and then scroll down to question four. You’ll see an option to claim codes. Then just input this code (case sensitive): “appsgonefree”. Enjoy!

You’re able to browse through the list of 17 guide pages with a swipe. Each page includes a detailed breakdown along with animated images for reference. There are also more than 25 macro example pages, allowing you to simply copy code and use it for your own projects. Macro examples can also be exported via email, Messages, or printed off via AirPrint. Loads of helpful keyboard shortcuts are available as well.

You're able to watch each knot tie itself, and you can pause or adjust the speed of the animation at any time. You can also rotate each knot 360 degrees, and zoom in using multitouch gestures. Knots can be broken down by category or class, and they can be added to favorites for quick reference.

You’re able to browse through the collection of over 30,000 stations by category, or you can search for something specific. You’re also able to favorite stations for quick access. While listening to the radio you’re able to record anything and everything in real time. You’re even able to play your stations over AirPlay. The app also includes more than one million podcasts to discover, music news, and sharing via Facebook, Messages, Twitter, or email.
