FunGolf features 3-D maps of nearly 32,000 golf courses from all around the world, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding your favorites. All of the maps are stored offline, which means you can play abroad without ever thinking about your data plan. Fun Golf GPS 3D is able to keep track of your position on the course, show the yardage for your next shot, recommend the right club, and keep track of your score. The app also includes tons of pro-grade statistics, and round data synchronization so you can review your round on a different iDevice.

The object of the game is to guide your white cubes around the screen in order to avoid colliding with the pastel colored cubes for as long as possible. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, things are complicated by the fact that your two cubes mirror each other’s movements. If you survive long enough, you will be aided by a brief but powerful shield, allowing you to smash through the colored cubes and earn bonus points. The game includes a single-player mode and a shared screen multiplayer mode on iPad, three difficulty settings, iCade support, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Each level contains a handful of fruits. Your job is to simply link those that match without overlapping lines. At the beginning of the game, creating matches isn’t all too difficult. As you progress, however, things will get challenging as the board gets bigger and the shapes become more complicated. The game includes 20 worlds, 200 levels, and hints to help you through difficult spots.

Put on your jumpsuit and climb as fast as you can up the walls. Tap the screen to jump from one wall to the other and avoid dozens of deadly obstacles. A quick tap will cause your character to make a small jump while a long tap will give him a little extra oomph. Grab the coins scattered about to boost your score and unlock new content. The game includes three unlockable characters, 30 masks to collect, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Core Monitor is able to monitor your iDevice’s free memory, battery level, storage space, CPU load, and active processes in real-time. You’re also able to receive a warning when your battery is full to prevent harmful over-charging, and view detailed information regarding your iDevice like model, UDID, processor type and speed, and IP address.

You’re able to scan receipts, invoices, letters, sketches, clippings, and much more in seconds or less. Just point your iDevice’s camera at whatever it is you want to capture and PDF Scanner will automatically discover the border. You’re able to capture single pages or multiple pages at a time. A grid view is also available to help you straighten things out. After you’ve captured your document, you’re able to manually crop it down if need be and change its composition. Then save your new PDF to your library, upload it to Dropbox, or share it via email. The app also includes the ability to sort, search, and organize documents within folders.
