Tayasui Blocks allows you to craft just about anything you can imagine. The building process is as easy as tapping to place blocks and tapping some more to paint them. Common gestures allow you to pan around the 3-D environment and zoom in. Whatever you have built can be shared with the community or destroyed using a wide variety of zany weapons. You’re also able to explore the models that other members of the community have created.

Pronto doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it just makes it easier to use. To set a countdown timer, simply turn the dial to adjust the minutes and slide your finger across the bottom to adjust the seconds. Hit start and wait for the alert tone. The app is able to run in the background along with a countdown timer that’s conveniently displayed as an icon badge. Pronto also includes timer history, allowing you to reuse them.

Tadaa SLR does most of the heavy lifting for you, but it includes a handful of powerful editing features that will please even the most seasoned iPhoneographers. After taking your photo you’re able to apply a mask to your subject manually or have Tadaa SLR detect the edges automatically. The aperture, highlight and gloss levels, and range of your blur effect can be adjusted via sliders. Circular, linear, and complete blur options are available as well. With your subject fully in focus and background blurred out, go ahead and add some filters before sharing it.

BlackCam does one thing and does it well. It provides you with dozens of lens filters to choose from, all of which are shown live on your feed. You can also add simulated grain and vignette, and adjust the contrast, brightness, and exposure at will. The app outputs at full resolution, providing you with the best possible results.

Fitness and Bodybuilding is your own personal weight room coach. It includes nine exercise categories, allowing you to focus on specific muscle groups. Each exercise comes with a detailed description, training video, and illustration showing what muscles are being worked. You’re able to save and track data regarding weights used and number of repetitions. The app also includes workout plans, the ability to create custom workout plans, a built-in timer, and a built-in calendar.
