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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
