Why we picked this?

Blur Background uses machine learning to keep the foreground of your photo neatly in focus while blurring the background. Take a photo using either the front- or back-facing camera. You’re then able to choose from five blur styles and adjust the intensity using a slider. Blurred photos can be saved to the camera roll or shared directly to other apps.

Your iPhone doesn’t support Portrait mode or you just want more blur options.

You only have an iPad.

Why we picked this?

Thunderspace utilizes stereoscopic 3D audio and realistic lightning flashes to create a thunderstorm around you. Put your headphones on and listen as the audio moves back and forth between your ears, and watch as your room is lit up by your iPhone’s flash. You’ll want to place your iPhone out of sight so you don’t see the source of the flashes, otherwise you’ll ruin the experience. The app includes a sleep timer, two storms to choose form, and the ability to disable the flash. Additional storms are available via in-app purchase.

You have troubles relaxing or sleeping. The 3D audio coupled with the LED flashes makes the experience totally unique.

You’re not fond of in-app purchases.
