Tadaa SLR

menschmaschine Publishing GmbH

Take fantastic SLR-quality photos with Tadaa SLR.

It’s designed for those who want to put their subject in focus.

$3.99 $3.99
Why we picked this?

Tadaa SLR does most of the heavy lifting for you, but it includes a handful of powerful editing features that will please even the most seasoned iPhoneographers. After taking your photo you’re able to apply a mask to your subject manually or have Tadaa SLR detect the edges automatically. The aperture, highlight and gloss levels, and range of your blur effect can be adjusted via sliders. Circular, linear, and complete blur options are available as well. With your subject fully in focus and background blurred out, go ahead and add some filters before sharing it.

If you want more control over your photos, Tadaa SLR can provide it. Each step of the editing process can be done manually to provide you with perfectly in focus photos.

If you want to simply snap and share photos, Tadaa SLR is overkill. All of its features will simply get in the way.

Find out who has been handling your iDevice when you’re not around with Cambush.

It’s for anyone who finds the little things in life entertaining.

$4.99 $4.99
Why we picked this?

Before leaving your iDevice unattended you must choose a resolution, adjust the sensitivity, and set a timer delay for how long you want Cambush to record. Then whenever Cambush detects movement, it will record from either the front- or back-facing camera. There’s even a power saving mode that lets you record undetected with just a black screen. You can also have Cambush activate an alarm when motion is detected or surprise your friends with a Rick Roll.

If you have a pet or an intrusive friend, download Cambush today and catch them in the act.

The app can burn through battery power pretty quickly due to the constant use of the camera.

Guess the secret code in Mastermind Pro.

It provides a great mental challenge.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

Mastermind Pro is a classic remade for the modern age. It features a clean and minimalistic UI, but everything you know and love about the original game remains intact. As always, the object of the game is to guess the secret code by following the hints. Hints will let you know if a dot is of the right color, in the right position, or completely out of place. The game includes three modes, two difficulty settings for each mode, and colorblind support.

If you prefer old school games, it doesn’t get any better than Mastermind Pro. It’s assorted options and visual flair will keep you coming back for more.

It’s still Mastermind. If you never enjoyed the game before, this won’t change anything.

About Love and Hate

Black Pants Studio GmbH

Help Love and Hate get back to their beloved hill in About Love, Hate and the other ones.

It’s for fans of logic puzzle games.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Love and Hate are two cute little black blobs who are trying to return to their beloved hill. You must control them separately in order to help them escape each level. Other characters are added to the mix along the way, making the challenge even more complicated. The game includes four worlds, 70 levels, iCloud support, and six "other ones."

About Love, Hate and the other ones is oozing with charm, from its visuals to its soundtrack. If you at all enjoy puzzle games, you won’t want to miss this one.

It’s a rather slow paced affair, and you can’t skip levels if you become stuck.
