Lenka

Kevin Abosch

Create beautiful black and white photos with Lenka.

It’s a dedicated black and white camera that can be used by both professionals and amateurs.

Why we picked this?

If Lenka had a motto it would be: “Do one thing and do it well.” Before shooting, you can switch between regular and square formats with a pinch. Then capture your subject in regular black and white or in high contrast. That’s it! There aren’t any other options, but the results are outstanding. You’ll just have to see for yourself.

If you’ve always been disappointed with your black and white photos, give Lenka a try. Its powerful image processing system allows you to see exactly how your photo will turn out, and it’s sure to turn out great.

If you don’t intended to take all that many black and white photos, Lenka may be overkill. It’s a dedicate black and white camera, after all.

This utility app turns your iDevice into a full featured portable disk drive.

It’s a fantastic solution for those who constantly need to move and access files while on the go.

Why we picked this?

Whether you have files stored locally or online, File Hub helps you get the job done. It allows you to transfer files to and from all of the popular cloud services, or you can move them around via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or iTunes File Sharing. Files can be viewed, played, reorganized, and renamed. File Hub includes search, multiple sorting options, passcode protection, multiple themes to choose from, and support for 40 file types.

Whether you need to view text documents, stream videos, or listen to music, File Hub will help you get it done. It’s able to do a little bit of everything without feeling cumbersome.

File Hub is certainly capable of a lot, but where it falls short is document editing. You’re unable to annotate or change files in any substantial way.

JUNG EUI HYUNG

This simple productivity app puts your ideas and tasks into Notification Center.

Eureka is perfect for anyone who needs quick access to their thoughts.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

The great thing about Eureka is that it can be used by just about anyone. It doesn’t even have to replace your current go-to productivity app. You can use it in addition to it. Basically, whenever you have something you want to remember pop into your head, launch Eureka and record it. That idea or task will then be instantly transferred to Notification Center where you can always see it. Ideas and tasks within Notification Center can be marked off as complete and even moved to the top with a right to left swipe. That’s really all there is to it.

If you’re looking for a quick way to access your thoughts, you’ve found it in Eureka. This no-frills productivity app will ensure you never lose another thought.

If you don’t like cluttering up Notification Center, you don’t want to install Eureka. Things can get messy really fast if you have a lot of content stored within it.

Magic App Factory LLC

Slow down or speed up your videos with SuperSlo.

It’s ideal for those who frequently record sports or action shots.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

SuperSlo’s effect is buttery smooth. You’re able to import any video from your library or record a new one from within the app. Then drag the slider at the bottom of the screen to slow the video down to 1/8x the speed or bring up to to 8x the speed. You’re also able to trim your video before saving it. The app allows you to export videos with its super-fast lossless encoder or a chosen fixed frame rate.

If you have videos you want to make slower or faster, SuperSlo does the job and does it well. It’s especially useful if you have an older iDevice that doesn’t support the feature.

You’ll get the best slow motion results with a new iDevice like the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Older iDevices can struggle.

Strongroom Ltd

Play your favorite tunes by spinning some vinyl with AirVinyl.

It’s a treat for anyone who doesn’t want to let go of the past.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

AirVinyl is all about the connected visual and audio experience. Choose a single track or grab an entire album from one of the record crates, and then spin it on the deck. You can drag the arm to skip ahead, and tap the middle of the record to view all of the songs from the album. The app also includes the ability to access playlists, search, AirPlay support, and multiple crate sorting options.

If you loved spinning records as a kid, this is the music player for you. Seeing your favorite albums in vinyl form will take you on a trip down memory lane.

The app can be a little cumbersome thanks to a lack of buttons and precise controls.
