PhotoWidget is further proof there’s an app for everything. It provides you with the ability to place a photo or animated GIF in the Today view in Notification Center. You’re able to select as many photos as you want from your library, and you can have them randomly appear in the view or you can choose one to remain there.

If you have a photo or image you want to access quickly, this is a handy way to do it.

Smart PDF Scanner is perfect for all your scanning needs. Its powerful capturing and rendering engine ensures you’ll come out with crystal clear scans every time. It’s able to automatically detect the edges of your document, and you can manually change the parameters afterward if need be. Smart PDF Scanner utilizes a simple tagging system, allowing you to color code categories and properly sort your scans. Scans can be shared via email or AirDrop, or you can upload them to the cloud.

If you’re tired of dealing with big and bulky scanners, give Smart PDF Scanner a try. It’s just as effective, and much more convenient.

If you already have a go-to scanner app, you can probably skip this one. Although it provides crystal clear scans and all kinds of handy tools to organize your scans, it’s impossible to import your old ones.
