Antoine Gamond

Keep track of your favorite TV shows and discover new ones with iTV Shows 3. Check it out if you missed out on yesterday’s TeeVee 3 promotion.

Why we picked this?

This is the most accurate TV show tracker you’ll find in the App Store. It utilizes multiple databases to ensure the information for each series is correct. You’re able to mark watched episodes, receive a notification when a new episode is about to begin, and discover new shows based on those you’ve already watched. If you can convince your friends to download iTV Shows 3, you can add them and see what they’re watching. The app also tracks the amount of time you’ve spent watching TV, and syncs all of the data via iCloud.

If you’re a TV show junky, you need to install iTV Shows 3 now. It’s able to pull in data for even the most indie TV shows out there and ensure you never miss an episode. It’s also very easy on the eyes.

If you only follow a couple of shows at a time, iTV Shows 3 may be overkill. It’s really meant for those who binge watch TV shows and can’t get enough.

Zombie Highway: Driver's Ed

Auxbrain, Inc.

A spinoff of the original Zombie Highway that puts your driving skills to the ultimate test. The game is perfect for those who enjoyed Zombie Highway but want a greater driving challenge.

Why we picked this?

Zombie Highway: Driver’s Ed is all about testing your driving skills. The roads are littered with barriers, tunnels, and hairpin turns for you to conquer. Your job is to string together combos by successfully scraping the zombies off of your vehicle without damaging it. The game also includes a wide variety of objectives to complete in case you need an even greater challenge.

If you enjoyed Zombie Highway, you’ll want to add this spinoff to your collection. It’s more of the same but with much better visuals and more variety in the gameplay. Oh, and no guns.

If you didn’t enjoy the original Zombie Highway, this will do nothing to change that.

Fresh Reversi

Alexander Deplov

Play a game of Reversi against computer-controlled opponents or your friends with this board game. Fresh Reversi is perfect for any and every board game fan.

$5.99 $5.99
Why we picked this?

We really like Fresh Reversi because it allows you to jump right in and play. You’re able to compete against three different computer-controlled opponents, grab a friend and play locally, or play online. As you play you’ll see a running tally of the pieces you own at the top of the screen. You’re also able to have hints shown and change the starting position. The game includes full stat tracking as well.

If, like most of the world, you enjoy a good game of Reversi every now and then, give Fresh Reversi a try. It’s clean and crisp interface makes every game a treat. The detailed stats also allow you to track how well you’ve played.

The only reason you wouldn’t want to download this game is if you hate board games, or Reversi, specifically. If that’s you, steer clear of Fresh Reversi.

PhotoViva allows you to easily turn your photos into abstract works of art using 20 different brushes. You don’t need a single artistic bone in your body, either. Just put your finger to the screen and start swiping to blend new designs into your photos. PhotoViva also includes the usual filters and editing options found in every other photography app, allowing you to put the finishing touches on your works of art before sharing them.

If filters and effects just aren’t enough for you, there’s PhotoViva. The 20 different brushes really allow you to create something entirely unique. There’s even an auto-paint mode that will turn your photo into a painting with zero effort on your part.

If all you want is filters, effects, and frames for your photos, look elsewhere. PhotoViva is all about the beautiful brush strokes you’re able to add to your photos.

MoneyTron+

MoneySmart Inc.

This expense tracker has an intuitive interface that allows you to quickly enter and categorize debits and credits. It’s for anyone left wondering where their money has gone.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

We’re recommending MoneyTron today because of its simplicity. All you have to do is spin the dial to select a category from the built-in list, or you can add your own. Then choose a date and define and amount, and it will be added to or taken off of your balance. You’re able to generate monthly reports, view history, attach memos, and passcode protect your data.

If you just need a simple way to track your expenses, this is it. The app’s clutter-free main screen makes it easy to see your balance and add to it or subtract from it. You won’t be bogged down by any unnecessary features with MoneyTron.

The lack of cloud syncing could be a deal-breaker for many; although you are able to export your data as a CSV file. If you aren’t fond of manual backups, you’ll want to look elsewhere for your needs.

App 77 Informatica e Servicos LTDA

Create powerful passwords and securely store them with this utility app. It’s ideal for anyone in need of an easy way to keep their login information safe and secure.

$4.99 $4.99
Why we picked this?

Password managers can be cumbersome, but not pwSafe. You’re able to create groups for different occasions like personal and business. You can then populate each one with login information. When creating a new entry, pwSafe will provide you with a randomly generated password. Of course, you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. The next time you need to recall a login password, just tap on the entry and it will automatically be copied to your clipboard. There’s nothing to ti!

If all you want is a safe and secure place to store you login information, pwSafe is perfect for you. It keeps all of your login information behind a secure wall of encryption. You’re able to manually back it up as well via iTunes File Sharing.

If you want a complete password manager, this isn’t it. It doesn’t come with the ability to store your data in the cloud, which makes backing up your data a tiresome experience. The option is available via in-app purchase, however.
