Why we picked this?

Today only: Unlock everything Photo Lab has to offer free of charge! Simply tap the “PRO” icon in the top right corner of the launch screen. You’ll then be able to remove ads and add stylized effects, featured sketches and paintings, backgrounds, human-to-animal montages, and caricature effects without incurring any charges. Make sure to unlock each in-app purchase separately and not the whole package. This is the most fun you’ll have with your photos. Photo Lab contains more than 530 filters, effects, frames, collage templates, montages, and backgrounds to choose from. The app automatically detects the location of your face, so all you have to do is sit back and watch the magic happen. Most effects include the option to add text. The app also includes multiple cropping options, and the ability to share your creations via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or email.

If you’re into photography apps with a ton of options, Photo Lab is for you. All of the effects and editing options are broken down by category, so you won’t get lost on your way to creating the coolest photos around.

Having more than 530 options at your fingertips can be a blast, but it can also be a chore. If you’re in need of a simple photo editor, look elsewhere.

Why we picked this?

You're able to create as many agendas as necessary. You can then start adding tasks in batches, and they will appear in both list and calendar form. You're able to customize tasks with different durations, people, places, and colors to keep things organized. You're also able to manipulate the calendar and task list via common gestures. Entire agendas can be exported and shared via email, Box, and iTunes File Sharing. The app also includes the ability to customize agendas, and passcode protections.

If you need to schedule events like seminars and trips, this is the app for you. It’s extremely flexible, allowing you to schedule task durations anywhere from minutes to hours.

This isn’t an everyday task manager. It has a very distinct focus.

Challenge your friends to a Count Battle in this arcade game.

It’s for anyone who enjoys fast-paced action or competing with a friend locally.

Why we picked this?

The goal is to tap all of the numbers in consecutive order as quickly as possible. Sounds easy, right? Well, not exactly. The numbers jump around the screen at random, and if you miss one or make an incorrect tap you will lose progress. The game includes single-player and head-to-head multiplayer modes, a count up mode, and leaderboards via Game Center.

If you need a way to get your brain juices flowing, Count Battle is a great way to achieve it. It’s much more challenging than it sounds.

Count Battle only includes two variations of the same game, so it’s not meant for extended play.

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.

If filters and effects just aren’t enough for you, there’s PhotoViva. The 20 different brushes really allow you to create something entirely unique. There’s even an auto-paint mode that will turn your photo into a painting with zero effort on your part.

If all you want is filters, effects, and frames for your photos, look elsewhere. PhotoViva is all about the beautiful brush strokes you’re able to add to your photos.
