You may have thousands of songs in your music library, but how often do you really listen to them all? Reshuffle helps you rediscover your music by shuffling them in much more intelligent ways. You’re able to reduce your repeats and get more variety by selecting from one of the two built-in mixes. Songs include in-depth data like where they rank in your library, the amount of skips, and the last time they were played, so you can see why they were chosen. You’re also able to build your own mixes from artists, albums, and playlists. Everything is automatic, so you won’t need to go back in and rate every song or give them thumbs up or down.

Your little one won’t tire of playing around with Tiny Tiger and Friends. There’s just so much they can do. They get to pick from three animal pals: Tiger, Monkey, or Hippo. They’re then asked to dress them up however they wish by tapping on different sections. They’re new animal friend can be photographed, and they’re able to join them in games of peek-a-boo and poke-a-nose. The animations are adorable and fun, and the navigation is easy enough for even young children to grasp.

Veggie Hipster doesn’t reinvent the wheel. It just makes it a little more silly. The idea is to move the Veggie Hipster out of the path of the falling meat by dragging your finger across the bottom of the screen. Why? Because meat is murder, of course! If a slab of meat hits your hipster, it’s game over. Veggie Hipster includes Game Center integration, so you can compete against your friends.

Most custom keyboards are simply eye candy or loaded with gimmicks. Not Elliptic Keyboard. Instead, it actually tries to solve a problem: One handed typing. It’s quite difficult to do on the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus due to their widths. Elliptic Keyboard makes it easier by bending and pushing the rows of keys closer to one side of the screen. Lefties can tap the hand icon to flip the keyboard around. You’re also able to swipe across the keyboard to create a space and delete characters.

AirPlay Intercom is one of those apps that you never knew you needed. It can be very useful in the proper setting. Tap the pairing button to choose a local AirPlay audio device or Bluetooth speaker. Once paired, you’re able to tap and hold the “TALK” button to record your voice. When you’re done recording, release the button and your voice will automatically be played through your chosen device. Simple as that!

Everything from the visuals to the sound will send you straight back to the Roaring Twenties.
