Wax allows you to add records by scanning a barcode, searching by name or artist, or by entering the information manually. The app will retrieve every little detail including cover art, genre, style, release date, and more. All of the data is editable, and you can even record your sleeve grade and attach notes if necessary. Records can be organize into crates, shared, and searched for via Spotlight. You’re also able to create a grab list for records you want to purchase.

Sometimes the simplest apps can be the best. Magnifier Flash proves that point. It allows you to zoom in on your subject at up to 6x magnification, and you can light it up with your iDevice’s LED flash. You can even snap a photo of what you’re looking at while zoomed in to save it for later.

CALC Swift is a multi-functional scientific calculator that’ll make your daily calculations a breeze. It features both standard basic and scientific calculation functions, which can be accessed with a horizontal swipe. It includes more than 50 advanced functions in all. A history log allows you to pull up numbers at any time and copy them for use in other apps. CALC Swift also includes a widget, Spotlight search, Apple Watch support, and colorful themes to choose from.

By taking long showers, you’re not only wasting water but also lots of energy. Reduce your impact by timing your showers with Shower Savvy. At first launch the app will ask you the flow rate of your shower head along with your target duration. If you don’t know your flow rate, that’s fine, it’ll provide you with a household average. Then every time you shower, start the timer from your iPhone or Apple Watch. Shower Savvy will calculate the gallons used and chart the data. It also keeps track of your average shower duration and your longest shower.

PhotoTangler doesn’t require any professional photo editing experience to achieve great results. Simply import related photos or take new ones from within the app. You’re able to crop photos down if necessary. PhotoTangler will automatically apply a fade, which can be adjusted in a variety of ways. Layer as many photos as you like before finishing off your work of art with a background color and text.
