To search the sky, just hold your iPhone up in the air and Star Rover will tell you what you're looking at.

Star Rover includes 120,000 stars, all 88 constellations, planets and their moons, the ability to manually search the sky, and detailed info for all items.

If you love to look up, you’ll be amazed at the things you see with Star Rover. Now you can share what you see as well by capturing and sharing it via your favorite social networks.

This is one of those rare photography apps that doesn’t require a lot of skill to get great results. You're able to snap a photo within the app or import one from your library. Then identify the face and mouth of your subject so it can be animated. Finally, record a message and select a voice filter. You can share your unique creation via Facebook, YouTube, or email. The app also includes a wide variety of accessories to choose from.

If you want your photos stop stand out on your favorite social networks, this is the way to do it. It has a very South Park-esque feel to it.

The results are always going to be cartoonish no matter how much work you put in to them.

Your job is to take down formerly healthy patients in any way possible as quickly as you can. You must first collect viruses and bacteria in order to earn bio points. Once you have enough, you can start to cause health problems for your patients and go after vital organs. The more problems you can cause, the faster you patient will succumb to them. The game includes 18 stages, 100 conditions, and some fantastic graphics with real-time body degradation.

If you enjoy tearing things down instead of building them up, then this game is right up your alley.

It is kind of a demented concept even if it is only a game.
