Why we picked this?

Just take a photo of what you want to capture and allow PhotoScan to automatically detect the edges. You’re also able to manually adjust the selection if need be. You’re then able to adjust the contrast and color of your scan, rotate it, or add a border. Scans are automatically saved to the in-app library. They can also be shared as JPEGs, PDFs, or PNGs via email, or you can upload them to Facebook, Twitter, or your favorite cloud service. The app also allows you to import photos and turn them into PDFs.

If you want to ensure your memories are never lost, this is a great way to do it. It also includes a built-in folders system that allows you to quickly organize your photos.

PhotoScan is capable of scanning anything, but its interface is designed for photo scanning.

Hidden Objects: Zombies Escape

Hidden Objects: Zombies Escape

Crisp App Studio

Help track down zombies in Zombies Escape.

Fans of hidden objects games will love this one.

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

You’ll have to search the entire institute for clues that will lead you to the wacky zombies. While searching for objects within a scene you’re able to get a closer look with the usual pinch-to-zoom gesture, and you can receive a hint if you get stuck. Don’t just tap wildly on a scene, either. It will cost you points and remove your multiplier. You’re not just on the hunt for objects, however, as you’ll also be presented with puzzles and have to spot the differences in some scenes.

If you love hunting for objects, Zombies Escape is a great addition to your collection. There’s a lot to do.

If you’re in it just for the story, you can probably skip this one.
