Why we picked this?

Play as a disgruntled waste collector, and transform your humble space garbage truck into a powerful spaceship by salvaging debris from your fallen enemies. You’re able to control your ship’s movements via the left joystick and fire its weapons in any direction with the right. Your ship won’t be easy to control at first or have that much firepower, but you can upgrade it after every round using collected debris. Upgrades can be applied by dragging and dropping new pieces into place, allowing you to completely reshape your ship.

Arcade shooters are your thing. Half the fun is building your ship piece by piece.

You despise on screen controls. Starborn Anarkist employs classic dual-stick shooter mechanics.

Levitate the subjects in your photos with Levitagram.

Anyone who wants to have a little fun with their photos.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

To make it seem as if your subject is levitating, start off by taking two separate photos. The first photo should be of your subject in its environment, and the second should be the environment without your subject. Make sure to keep the camera steady between photos in order to get the best results. Levitagram will automatically align and stitch together the two photos, so all that’s left for you to do is cut out the parts you don’t want. When you’re finished creating your magical photo, you’re able to save it or share it via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Messages, or email.

You want to share your crazy creations with the world. The app includes a bustling community that you can interact with and get inspired by.

You’re don’t like fiddling around. It takes some time to get great results.

Why we picked this?

Loud automatically syncs to your Apple Music, iTunes, and iTunes Match libraries, so no matter how you listen to your music, you’re covered. Just tap and hold to add songs to your queue. Loud also includes Last.fm integration and caching. You’re able to “love” tracks and sync them with your “now playing” status with a tap.

You’re looking for something different. Loud is beautiful and easy to use.

You hate trying new things. Loud will take some getting used to since the UI is completely different than Apple’s Music app.

Make sure to create your base and move upwards first, otherwise it can be difficult to navigate the blocks. The blocks can be rotated with a swipe and zoomed in on with a pinch. Double tap to delete any blocks you’ve created. Your creations can be played out within the app or saved to your photo library.

You like to create. It’s intended for children, but it’s even a whole lot of fun for adults.
