Why we picked this?

Dozzzer is a sleep timer app that slowly reduces your music's volume so you aren't alarmed when it stops. The app allows you to choose individual songs or import entire playlists and reorder them on the fly. Then just slide the needle left or right to set your timer and drift off to sleep. The app will automatically reduce your music's volume over time even if you've closed it. It also includes AirPlay support.

If you find it difficult to fall asleep, give Dozzzer a try. It ensures you’ll no longer be thrown off when the music stops playing.

Dozzzer addresses a very specific need. It’s not meant to be your everyday music player.

Why we picked this?

1 Second Everyday needs to access your iDevice's library to discover videos and photos. You can then grab one second from each video to include in your final compilation or just select photos. Once you have one second for each day of the month, year, or a selected period of time, the app will merge it all into one memorable video. You can share your video via Facebook or YouTube. 1 Second Everyday also now includes a crowds section, where you can submit a second of your life to be a part of the group, and a freestyle section, which removes the 1 second per day restriction.

If you want to see how you or your loved ones have changed, download 1 Second Everyday today. It allows you to keep multiple timelines going at once, so the whole family can join in.

If you don’t stick with it, it’s not worth it. You need quite a bit of content in order to create something truly special.

Why we picked this?

MobileMonet turns your photo into a black and white sketch upon importing it, and then allows you to add your own artistic touch. You can paint directly onto the sketch to bring your photo's color back and highlight specific areas. Your paintbrush can be adjusted in a variety of ways as well. The app includes undo and redo, pan and zoom, and the ability to share your final creation via Facebook, email, Flickr, Twitter, Tumblr, or SMS.

If you want more control over how your photo will turn out, MobileMonet provides it.

MobileMonet’s main focus is its painting effect. Outside of that, it doesn’t provide anything unique.

Living Planet

Samer Azzam

Create tiny planets from your photos or videos with this entertaining photography app.

It’s for anyone looking to do something more than add a few filters and effects to their photos.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

We love how easy Living Planet makes it to take your photos and videos from boring to extraordinary. You’re able to import content from your library or capture a new photo or video from within the app. Living Planet will then automatically transform your chosen content into a tiny, circular planet. An inverted wormhole options is also available.

If you want your photos and videos to stand out, Living Planet will help you accomplish just that. Seriously, what’s cooler than turning your scenery photos and videos into a Living Planet? Nothing. The answer to that is nothing.

Living Planet is kind of a one-trick pony, so if circular photos and videos aren’t your thing, you have no reason to download it.
