It basically turns your iDevice into a mobile file server. Just select the types of files you want to share and then activate file sharing. Anyone with SuperShare or SuperShare Lite that's within range will be able to pull the files right off your iDevice. The app also includes the ability to move files, zip single or multiple files, and print, preview, rename, or email files. It features both iCloud and iTunes File Sharing support as well.

If you need to share files with a group, this is your app.

Files are only accessible via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which means if you’re looking for a way to share files remotely, this isn’t it.

After each workout you can view your route on a map, check graphs and statistics, and record your mood. The app also supports Apple Health.

The best way to stick to your exercise routine is to track it, and Runtastic Pro is perfect for that.

B hive, Inc.

An original graphic novel for readers of all ages.

It’s a fun read for children who enjoy eerie tales.

$4.99 $4.99
Why we picked this?

The story begins with Suee, a sixth-grader on her first day of school at Outskirts Elementary. Suee is not your everyday sixth-grader, as she goes by her own set of rules. On her first day she is approached by a shadow that insists it is stuck to her feet. Suee attempts to ignore the shadow, but once it starts meddling with her life, she must finally do something about it. The app includes four episodes, 110 pages, and an eerie original soundtrack.

If your child loves to read, Suee and the Shadow makes a great addition to their collection. It’s a totally original story that’s cute but a little dark.

If you don’t intend on seeing the story through into the second part, then you probably just want to skip this one.

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.
