More than anything else, Trip Wallet is super flexible. You’re able to use it to keep track of your spending on your next international trip, road adventure, or just at home. Each trip must include a duration, budget, and currency. Then every time you purchase something, simply describe the item, add an amount, and tag it. You’re able to see all of your expenses at a glance, see your spending by tag, and export the data as a CSV file. The app also includes automatic currency updates.

InstaBlender is absolutely loaded with options. You must first either select two photos from your library or take new ones from within the app. InstaBlender will then automatically superimpose them. You’re able to adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation for each layer to get the exact effect you want. You can then apply a filter, one of 18 blend modes, text, and a frame to your creation. Blurring, distorting, and other editing options are also available. Photos can be shared via Instagram and other social networks.

TunesFlow’s sleek UI presents your entire library as a flowing work of art. Swipe across the album art to browse through your music by artist, album, or playlist. You’re also able to search for something specific. Give an album a tap to view all of the included songs and playback controls. An equalizer is available with 10 different bands, allowing you to control the way your music sounds. The app looks great in both portrait and landscape orientations as well!

You'll get a taste of what Wake N Shake is all about the moment you launch the app. During the tutorial, it will ask you to furiously shake your iDevice just to get to the main screen. Don’t give up. There’s no way around this just like the real alarm. From there you can access the alarm clock, social, music, and settings menus with swipes in different directions. The app includes all kinds of alarm tones to choose from, achievements and leaderboards, a sleep timer, and the ability to adjust the shake intensity.
