Daniel LLC

Take perfectly balanced photos with this camera app.

It’s great for iPhoneographers who enjoy capturing nature scenes.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Tilt your iDevice to position the white circle in the center of the frame while also keeping the line level. The interface will turn green when you have everything perfectly balanced. You can then capture a photo manually or have LVL CAM automatically do it for you. The app also includes separate focus and exposure controls, a grid option, and a ghosting option for lining up several of the same shots.

If taking level shots is important to you, LVL CAM will help you achieve perfect results.

It’s a great manual camera as well, but what it isn’t is a photo effects app.

Stress Baal

Double Flawless

Alleviate stress by taking it out on a little red devil in Stress Baal.

We all have a little stress in our lives, so this app is basically for anyone looking to get rid of it without any repercussions.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Baal is a little red devil with a ton of personality and a high tolerance for pain, which is why we enjoy beating him up so very much. The animated, hand-drawn Baal will dance around, shape shift, and do whatever else he wants if left alone, and that’s where you come in. Baal needs to be roughed up because he totally deserves it! You’re able to interact with Baal in a wide variety of ways. Your imagination is the only thing holding you back from seeing the thousands upon thousands of hilarious and wacky animations.

If you’re feeling a little on edge, give Stress Baal a try. Even if it doesn’t relieve your stress, you’re going to have a lot of fun beating up on Baal.

The app is really meant for entertainment purposes only.

It’s for any parent who wants to teach their child about sustainability.

Why we picked this?

Your child will be presented with a random collection of animated recycling bins. They must then drag and drop the trash to the appropriate bin. If they don’t, the bin will simply spit it back out. Once they’ve cleaned up enough trash, something useful will be produced for the furry creatures of the forest. The game includes six recycling bin characters, six machines to interact with, and 100 different pieces of garbage.

If you’re a parent or teacher, check out Gro Recycling. It’s used in schools and preschools across the U.S. and Europe.

The gaming elements are a tad bland, but the characters should keep your child interested.

Why we picked this?

You’re able to populate your presentation with as many images and videos as necessary since Presentation Link’s powerful rendering has no problem doing some heavy lifting. You can also attach audio files to specific slides. Hyperlinks can be added to help move seamlessly through slides, which comes in very handy for non-linear presentations. Then when you’re ready for the world to see your presentation, you can play it right on your iPad or connect it to a TV or projector. The app also includes the ability to duplicate presentations and share them via email, Dropbox, YouTube, or iTunes File Sharing.

Whether you use your iPad for one-to-one presentation or a big audience, Presentation Link is worth a look. It’s especially great for non-linear presentations.

Presentation Link is a bit short on bells and whistles. What it does include works well, however.
