Went Free on

Vima helps you keep track of your bike rides without allowing a bunch of unnecessary features to get in the way. Just hop on your bike and hit the record button. The app will keep track of your speed, distance, altitude, and route while also providing audio feedback. If you own an Apple Watch, you can start, pause, resume, and save rides without ever having to access your phone. The app also includes split times, routes that are color coded by speed, and the ability to share your workouts.

It allows you to place your current location, the local time, captions, and other custom data over the top of your photos and videos. You're able to capture a new photo or video in-app or import one form your library. Skins can be added by swiping through the vast library, and you can reposition them at either the top or bottom to avoid blocking your subject. Your new creations can be shared via Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. InstaPlace has more than 70 built-in skins, including dynamic ones that adapt to your day.

Week Widget isn’t a standard calendar app in any way, shape, or form. It taps into your iDevice’s native calendar app in order to populate a Today view widget with everything that’s coming up on your schedule. When you launch the app itself, you’re greeted with ways to customize the look and content of the widget. Week Widget includes a day timeline, a week timeline, and the ability to scroll through days and weeks.

Data Widget is so simple yet so effective. Launch the app, set your data cap, set your start and end date, and record any usage you may already have. Then swipe down to bring up Notification Center and add the widget by tapping the “Edit” button found all the way at the bottom. After that, any time you want to check your current data usage in real-time, just swipe down. You can also now check your usage via Apple Watch.

Nonagon will put your math skills to good use. It offers four different modes: Normal, Timer, Negation, and Impossible. In all four modes the goal is generally the same: hit the target number within nine turns. You’re able to accomplish this seemingly simple task by punching numbers on the pad and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them. You’re limited to the numbers on the pad, so there is quite a bit of strategy involved, especially since you can’t undo entries.
