You’re able to craft your own character using the built-in skin maker and then show it off on the battlefield. You can go face-to-face with zombies in campaign mode, battle those same zombies with friends in a cooperative survival mode, or take on your friends in online death matches. Up to eight players are able to battle it out online or locally, and you’re able to fight with words via built-in chat. The game includes three difficulty settings, loads of character customization options, tons of weapons to choose from, and leaderboards via Game Center.

You’re able to import multiple videos from your library or record new ones from within the app. You’re then able to reorder the videos in your timeline, cut out unwanted moments, slow down or speed up time, add voice overs and sound effects, add animated titles, insert photos, and add background music. After your new creation has been compiled, you’ll have the chance to apply a filter and theme before sharing it via Vine, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or email.

Fitly utilizes Apple’s new M7 chip to track motion without draining your battery, so it will only work with iPhone 5s. You don’t need to do anything but start walking. Fitly takes care of the rest. As you approach your 10,000 daily step goal, you’ll earn various achievements through Game Center that will help keep you motivated. You’re also able to share your progress via Messages, Twitter, Facebook, or AirDrop.

Start off by selecting photos from your library that feel like they belong together. Then tap on each one in your list to adjust their start and end positions, durations, and title positions. To complete your project, choose a video format, transition type, title style, fade style, and add some music. Your video creations can be shared via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, Messages, or YouTube. The app also includes 10 built-in photo filters, the ability to reorder photos, and a random start and end position option with face detection.

The app allows you to record your thoughts faster than you could with a regular keyboard. Just draw the path of the word you want to record. If you get a little off track, don’t worry, Path Input Pro will figure out what it is you’re trying to say. You can even record words by simply drawing their prefixes. When you’re message is complete, you’re able to copy your content with a tap and bring it into any other app. Path Input Pro also includes six color themes, a wide variety of fonts, and 10 font sizes.

You’re able to browse through the 40 different fonts with a swipe. Tap on the one you want to use and start crafting your message. You can then copy the text or share it directly via Messages, Facebook, Twitter, AirDrop, or email.

This colorful puzzle game requires you to group five or more of the same colored flowers together. You’re able to do so by drawing their path on the screen. Flowers can not travel through other flowers, so plan ahead. Keep in mind that after each turn new flowers will be added to the grid unless you create a grouping of five or more, making it more and more difficult to maneuver flowers. The game includes two modes, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
