Why we picked this?

The app is able to handle sending hundreds of photos at once, or you can just send one at a time. When sending photos you can choose to adjust their resolution in order to save time and space. You don't have to wait around for your upload to finish either, as the app is able to work in the background as long as you stay on the same Wi-Fi connection.

If you need to move large batches of photos around, this is the app to do it with. It’s especially useful while on vacation since you can leave the cables at home.

Transfers can only be done locally.

Heavy Blade

Chris Egerter

Go dungeon crawling through 3-D environments in Heavy Blade.

It’s for fans of hack and slash gameplay.

$2.99 $2.99

Why we picked this?

Heavy Blade allows you to go dungeon crawling from a first-person perspective. Armed with only your trusty sword and magic abilities, you must hack and slash every ghastly creature that stands in your way. The loot that drops from your enemies can be used to upgrade your character and weapons. The game includes a total of 30 dungeons to explore.

If you’re tired of the same old perspective in dungeon crawlers and have a MFi controller, give Heavy Blade a try.

Without a third-party controller, the game can be difficult to navigate.

Poetics

Soulincode Inc.

Get poetic with your photography with Poetics.

It’s perfect for those who want to create some visual poetry.

$2.99 $2.99

Why we picked this?

You're able to import any photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. You can scale, apply filters, and adjust the parameters of your photo. Then write anything you want on it, whether that's a poem or a caption. You're able to add as few or as many words as you want and manipulate them with common gesture controls. Your unique creations can be shared via email, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, or Twitter.

If you want to say something with your photos, Poetics will help you out. If you come up with something worth sharing, don’t forget to use the hashtag #poetics on Instagram and Twitter.

If you want an all-out photo editing app, Poetics isn’t it. There are a few effects and editing options to choose from, but Poetic’s focus is on your words.
