The Apple iTunes Store WeekCal, Stork drop, Paul, DanceSteps, Honk, via NanoStudio

This month we've been keeping appointments, choosing the names of the children, making Friends with the aliens, dancing salsa, parking fines and make analog music. Oh, and in writing this.

WeekCal
Although Apple's iCal calendar application for the Mac and iPad, the iPhone is just a job: preinstalled calendar is pretty lame thing. This is mainly because it is not ready for the week and although we have tried, and the months of the date on which the list view are useful, help us keep things.

Type week, Cal (£ 1.19), all transactions (as in this case, the Google calendar sync) existing calendar lovely, noutopaikkaan, and add to iCal-style to one week. It takes advantage of iPhone's large display, portrait and landscape functions, supports drag-and-drop, so you can move appointments easily, and there are some clever features such as zooming in and out of the double-tap and, in particular, on the day of the week, when you view.

Macs & Smartphones. try it for free!

You can save your regular meetings on models and then just drop them at the right time, the contacts will be linked to the calendar of events, and the use without due cause takes unfair advantage of any of the menus, the granting of a full-screen mode; even in the month view will help you get more space for the Events Calendar section (and color coded dots to indicate the different calendars, appointments, use). It has always been difficult to understand why Apple does not include a better calendar on the iPhone, now it does not matter.

Stork Drop
Even if our child rearing days behind us, it does not mean we are sympathetic, naming your kids-or Andrew Elliot, Farrah or Fannie, Norah or Nebuchadnezzar's nightmare? The previous days we loved, Stork drop (£ 1.19), which takes the heavy lifting to choose a new name, and offers an alternative to the operators, poring huge and cumbersome-an alphabetical list.

Instead, just download the application, the date of arrival, the control (which then calculates the icon BADGE) and tap the screen to the top of a small cartoon clouds (or let the phone shaking), then back to as the end of the selection of the sky, the names of the sit tumble.

Save the good with the double-tap to quickly replace later on, drop the ones you're not sure what the Stork bag into the other names are high, check the other lists of users, the Stork drop For inspiration is the name of the theme drop-down lists (for example, historical figures, entertainment) or make the old school and the upper side of the standard A-Z list.

All of the Stork drop includes the Zula (brilliant, City) of more than 7,000 names to each of its origin and Aaron (the teacher, the strength of kuperaa, a mountain), the importance of the note.

Paul
Although not usually fans of the movie tie-ins (because most of them are cack), we can admit to having a soft-spot Paul (free).

The latest Simon Pegg movie (slackers-rescue an alien) but its sleeve-up to a maximum of one simple trick is to coincide with the face to turn someone is released, a photo and it will convert the traditional ' Greys ' photo-style alien face, perfect for deep eye sockets, uncomfortably bulging forehead and chin, that it is time to spiked.

You can place the eye sockets and oral-your face is a fun shape, and let the application do the rest, after which you can share via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and so on. The graphics are entertaining (fairly Nice phoney face recognition retina scan/pulsing with the green line, which goes up and down as if it is actually Scans your face), and the results are really fun.

We met some people who want their real face to the original one-the new aliens. Oh, and the movie trailer, as well as a link, but only you know, if you feel obligated.

DanceSteps
Is born with at least two left feet dance-jazz, tap, ballroom, ice, and there is no doubt that the current craze for many other styles are passed to us. No longer. DanceSteps (£ 1.19), we now have the opportunity to master salsa, rumba, samba, and more to follow. Waltz

DanceSteps is a simple but powerful idea. The application displays the top-down view feet-Red Lady and the gentleman in black and two pairs. Select dance style by pressing the Play button, and copy operations, as they are danced around too quickly? Make it sensible. Click the ' start your lesson + ' and '-' move one step at a time through the lessons and visits (third movement of Samba is more than a step in the Bypass), balloon-help button.

When you believe that you have Mastered a series, click play and see if you follow it. Does not replace the real thing is of course. But for beginners or anyone who needs a class on the road quickly recap-it is a valuable little pocket that you stay on your feet, the light.

Honk
Even if we are unable to resist having to pay for parking, again we truly, time, and get hit with the running of the fine. It is because we have been seeking something elegant, keep an eye on the time for us so we can always get back before the traffic 22.12.1637 pounce.

So here's a Honk (€ 0.59 p), plus a little clever interface, timer, which allows you to keep track of how long you've got the ticket marked and if you've parked. Use the-swipe.txt only on top of the arc the finger on the screen is a doddle, the meter, you can specify how long the ticket is valid (this then shows the countdown badge icon), and take a snap, where you are parked at the camera.

All the streets look the same? Scribble a note to yourself over your finger at the top of the photo as a reminder. You do not need to be active, Honk to alert (a car horn, natch) is Nice and loud, and the map allows you to find the back, before the end.

NanoStudio
When the application is accompanied by a 57-page PDF manual which is either very good or very bad going. NanoStudio (£ 8.99) and we are pleased to announce it is very good. But it requires manual, because in spite of the relatively small screen on the iPhone is an excellent advantage of it, so are the features that soon you will be lost. You can probably never worse, searches for half of the things it can do.

In short, this is a virtual recording studio to record an instrumental music, suited. It includes four ' polyphonic ' synths, (which means they play more than one note at a time) for a total of 128 different sounds, as well as 16-pad to tap out beats, drum machine (even if you can attach the pads as well as other instruments). It is also the expression pillows, which allows you to change the Customizing sounds when you play them and take notes, go to the pitchwheel up or down.

By combining the decent performance like this with some really excellent analog-style synth sounds NanoStudio is the appropriate Pocket Studio. There is a six-track sequencer for two Inserts per synthesizer, and sends the sample editor Undo and the four levels, mixing desk and the possibility to export the finished tracks, Ogg or WAV, Zip files and they will be incorporated into the desktop, music, projects.

There are loads more, too. Oscillators and filters with violin, quantizing, the ability to articulate sounds and add them to the library, an individual note editing and much more. In fact, the only thing that is missing is a simple tutorial which explains the language elements, the first song ". The manual then multiple pages.
