If listen to a lot of streaming music and the radio, this is the app for you. It allows you to look up artists that you’ve recently discovered and save them for later. You’re able to search for artists by name and My Music will provide you with results from iTunes. The colors and themes for each artist saved is generated by the colors of the album artwork. Each entry in your list includes a link to the artist's Wikipedia entry, YouTube videos, and discography on iTunes.

Tap and drag your finger in the direction you want your ball to go and release whenever you're ready.

Just tap on the celestial objects you come across to learn more about them. You can also search the sky by keywords or by holding your iDevice up to the sky and shifting all around. The app includes over 100,000 stars, 88 western constellations, and planets of the solar system.

RetainIt allows you to capture, organize, and recall all of the important information needed to make it through your day. You’ll want to start by creating cabinets for different areas of your life like work, school, and personal. You’re then able to populate each cabinet with to-dos, projects, goals, reminders, contacts, notes, photos, and much more. All of the information you enter can be filtered and organized with tags, folders, and even links that allow you to group related items between categories. RetainIt also includes full search, the ability to create reminders with natural language, Dropbox support, a built-in browser, and the ability to edit icons and backgrounds.

The simple two panel UI provides quick access to its many features, so you won't be fumbling around when time is of the essence. The app includes the ability to pre-set eight alarms, save your favorite timers, choose from standard alert tones or music from your library, and have your alarms fade-in.
