The city is crawling with criminals. It’s up to you to go on patrol and stop them in their tracks. In Cops, you get to participate in some wild police chases, swerving in and out of traffic while avoiding civilians at all costs. To steer your vehicle, simply place your finger behind it and slide left and right. The farther your finger is away from the vehicle, the faster it will go.

NoLocation allows you to quickly and easily remove EXIF data from your photos. The data can be removed from new photos taken within NoLocation, or you can import any photo from your library. Keep in mind that NoLocation doesn’t overwrite the original photo. It simply makes a copy of the photo without any of the EXIF data included.

Inspired by triangulation, the mathematical process invented by Boris Delaunay, Trimaginator allows you to reduce your photos to their essentials and turn them into meshes. The best part is, you don’t need to be a master of math in order to create beautiful works of art. Just choose an effect, tap on your photo to add mesh points, and watch as it all transforms.

Cuecard focuses on visual cues instead of text. When recording a new task, simply choose from a vast library of built-in cues or create your own from a photo. You’re able to attach notes if need be, but the idea is to keep things simple. Then whenever you want to see what needs to be done, just glance at your grid of visual cues. Cues that are more important than the rest can be highlighted in red.

WikiLinks allows you to start off with an idea and branch out from there with its exclusive mind-map navigation system. Each search suggests different paths to take and allows you to retrace your steps at any time. Instead of jumping back and forth between searches and articles, tap and hold your finger on any link to get a quick preview. WikiLinks is loaded with other great features as well, including fullscreen image browsing, suggested YouTube videos, offline viewing, and iCloud support.

You're able to mash away on the scrollable keyboard to create and record tunes whenever the moment strikes. The app features a 32-bit professional quality digital signal processor, allowing you to hear your tunes just as they were intended. The app also includes dual analog modeling oscillators, Audiobus input, MIDI-in, SoundCloud support, and 30 factory presets.
