Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won’t linger in the memory afterwards.
£0.69
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
£0.69
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
£5.99
pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
£0.69
Max Payne Mobile
Max is back with some minor control issues that won’t get in the way of your enjoyment of this shooter classic
£1.99
Numberlys
A great looking and original story, which disappoints with its lack of charm and colour.
£3.99
Nooka
Nooka is a beautifully-designed novelty clock app with loads of customisation options. Very stylish and a lot of fun.
£0.69
ESPNsoccernet
A good app for football fans, but an occasionally awkward interface means it’s not quite essential.
£0.69
Elmo’s Monster Maker
Elmo’s Monster Maker is good fun but just a little too expensive for what’s on offer here.
£2.49
Graffiti Me
Not an app most people are likely to use more than half a dozen times, but it’s reasonably well done.
£0.69
Classique Camera
Save your money and go for Instagram, which is free and offers more filters. That is, unless you desperately want these effects for video.
£0.69
Beat Sneak Bandit
Puzzle, stealth, rhythm-action and a smattering of platforming, with Game & Watch era rigidity smashed into modern iOS-style aesthetics. Perfect.
£1.99
Angry Birds Space
The rebooted physics of this new instalment means you’d have to be cuckoo to bet against Angry Birds’ continued domination as it aims for infinity, and beyond.
£0.69
DriveGain+
Useful for those with a passion for statistics, and could save you real money in fuel efficiency.
£4.99
Cyborg Vision
Come with me if you want to avoid wasting 69p on something that doesn’t work.
£0.69
Convertr
Convertr quickly converts values of all sorts, and the beautifully-designed interface makes it one of the most flexible we’ve seen.
£1.49
AntiCrop
Mixed results are an understatement, only of use for the most clutter free of landscape shots.
£0.69
Cinemagram
A superb way of capturing a moment, with an easy-to-use process – even if the app needs a little polish.
FREE
Caverns of Minos
Weaving through colourful tunnels may not be consistently thrilling, but Caverns of Minos sure is a charming little curio.
£1.29
Bejeweled
What? A verdict!? Just leave us alone – we’re busy playing Diamond Mine! Again! All night long! Argh!
£0.69
iMaschine
Super-slick, quite crispy, but a little shallow, this is hip-hop empitomised and embodied in app form
£2.99
iDarkroom
iDarkroom is terrific fun at a very reasonable price, though is limited overall
£0.69
Ice Rage
A game this shallow is skating on thin ice, but it’s enjoyable enough that we don’t really care
£0.69
Chrono Trigger
A bonafide legend that’s still well worth playing, in spite of interface woes
£6.99
Bubble in Paradise
Not quite paradise for iOS word-game fiends, but enjoyable enough and worth a look; doubly so if you’ve a bubble-popping fetish
£0.69
Evi
A promising Siri rival, if currently too unreliable to be a replacement instead of a companion app.
£0.69
Evernote Hello
It could be useful, no doubt, but we’re not sure how many people will use it properly.
FREE
Deezer
Deezer knows what you want from a music streaming app – and this is a market-leading service.
FREE
CaskFinder
Could find you a nice beer in a pinch, but it’s not comprehensive enough for our tastes.
FREE
Animoto Video Slideshows
You can create an unlimited number of beautiful 30-second slideshows for free. What’s not to like?
FREE
Capture – The Quick Video Camera
A good idea, decently implemented. We’d like to have seen more guidance on how video is saved
£0.69
Audium
We can get behind hiding the Music app’s clutter, but Audium could do with settings to personalise its appearance and behaviour.
£0.69
Affagato
It’s handy as a brief, pocket guide to all things coffee, but by no means perfect
£0.69
Live Score Addicts
One of the slickest ways to find out the latest football scores and watch highlights as the goals fly in
FREE
Zapd
Easy websites for everyone at light speed. It’s limited , but what it does, it does with aplomb
FREE
Disposable Hipstamatic
Great for sharing fun moments with friends, but it feels like the app isn’t quite finished yet

A worthwhile distraction from the day job! The videos are easy to follow, and the results felt straight away
£0.69
iBBQ
All you need to have a great summertime barbecue, packaged up in a thoughtful interface
FREE
Hypership Out Of Control
Horrifically fast retro larks with, we suspect, an extremely niche appeal. We like it, though
£0.69

It could have been a contender, but Gears has a cog loose and so doesn’t quite run like clockwork
£1.99
Fishing Kings
There’s plenty of fishing fun to be had in this great little virtual angler
FREE
Delivery Status Touch
Perfect for tracking post and courier deliveries from the palm of your hand
£2.99

A minor classic in waiting that’s currently a bit too challenging for its own good
£0.69
Anthill: Tactical Trail Defense
A fast, fun, yet ultimately simple strategy game with brilliant controls

FREE
Jetpack Joyride
An absurdly addictive runner that stops just short of soaring its way to perfection
FREE
Fruit Ninja: Puss In Boots
Shameless tie-in meets addictive-but-shallow new game mode. We love it now, but won’t respect it in the morning
£0.69

A brilliant way to keep track of birthdays, with a level of polish to match Apple’s own apps
FREE
CoinKeeper: Budget and expense tracking
A brilliantly visual way to track your spending, even if it can be a little confusing at first.
£1.99
Big Lens
Useful on occasions, but ultimately the developer’s claims turn out to be hyperbole. The filters are fun, but you can get more from the free Instagram app.
£0.69

Not the best-designed cooking app we’ve ever seen, but the recipes it contains are interesting and unusual
£1.99
Greedy Spiders

A handy app when you’re trying to get from A to B, although a little on the pricey side for simple info

Lunges for ‘classic’, but stabs ‘merely very good’ instead. Nonetheless, it’s essential if you enjoyed the original
£4.99
Adobe Carousel
If you’re a pro out in the field hooking up your DSLR to your iPad, it’s worth a look, but iPhone-only users will be left disappointed
FREE
FIFA 12
Currently the best footy experience on iOS by a considerable margin, and a step up from last year’s offering
£2.99
Facebook Messenger
An app with some useful features, but doesn’t make quite enough of a case for using yet another messaging app.
FREE
Dropbox for iPhone
The free 2GB account may sound poky, but use it wisely and you may never have to pay to upgrade
FREE
Drop 7 by Zynga
A first-rate puzzle game that rewards strategic thinking, but it lacks polish
£1.99
Bring Me Sandwiches
A touch fiddly at times, but this game’s imagination and wonderful visuals combine to make a tasty treat
£0.69
Philips BatterySense
A piece of brilliant interface design, but the figures are not something to be relied upon

A slight but good-natured game that rarely slips up and very regularly shines.

FREE
Spectaculator, ZX Spectrum Emulator
A polished emulator, but for widespread appeal it needs more and better games.
£1.99
Surveillant
Apart from the lack of levels, it’s a well-designed and atmospheric game of cat and mouse.
£1.49
Songify
Oh, we don’t know. Works fine. Looks okay. Fills us with hate. Get it if you want. We can’t stop you.
FREE
Another World – 20th Anniversary
A mercilessly difficult, albeit faithful Amiga port that rewards only the most tenacious of gamers
£2.99
Korg iKaossilator
Brilliant fun, intensely creative, and universally accessible. A compelling musical toy.

AA takes a no-frills approach to location-based discovery of UK attractions.

Android-toting gamers should have Madfinger’s website bookmarked, such is the quality of the Czech coders’ excellent Tegra Zone beat-em-up ‘Samurai II: Vengeance THD’.
£5.49

It’s a bit of a dog at times, but the data’s good, and the app’s free.
FREE
Groove Coaster
A visually stunning and surprisingly fresh take on a genre that was becoming stagnant.
£1.99
Garmin UK & Ireland
Needs a few more versions before it can truly compete with TomTom, but it’s still a good app.
£39.99
Create a Commentary
A fun app, but only once or twice, and it needs more sharing options.
£1.49
Napster
A brilliant app that beats the Spotify equivalent at the same price, but the poor sound quality is a real let-down.
FREE
Jenga
A brave attempt at translating a physical board game, but it just isn’t a great videogame.
£0.69

FREE
TouchGrind BMX
Fiddly at first, but once you get the hang of it, finger-tricking on your BMX is a joyful experience.
£2.99
UK Cinema Times
A pretty, fast app, but it needs to be able to tell you where to see a chosen film, more easily.
£0.69
ESPN Goals
If you love football, you’re going to love this app. Get it, use it and wonder how you ever did without.
FREE
Cut the Rope: Experiments
A disappointing, cynical sequel that needs more levels and new features to justify its existence.
£0.69
AirBeam
Whether you use it as a tool or as a toy is up to you, but there’s no denying the usefulness of this app.
£2.49
Don’t Get Me Wrong
A good, fun idea, but the app is hampered by being incomplete – and occasionally wide of the mark.
£0.69
Deep Green Chess
A simple, elegant and assured game of chess that feels no need to show off. Positively classy.
£4.99

Don’t use as your only defence against things you can\’t eat, but it’s a great first line.
£1.99
Beyond Ynth
Not a game to buy if you dislike a challenge, but if you’re all for tough puzzlers, Beyond Ynth is great.
£1.49
Ascendancy
It’s a lovely game, lovingly restored and has great nostalgia value. It’s just not terribly user-friendly.
£2.99
Friends
Handsome, clever, and full of potential, Friends has yet to hit the mark but should mature well.
£0.69

Fast Five looks and feels great, but lacks the honed balance and difficulty curve of Asphalt 6.

£0.69

Initially dazzling but short-lived; however, the price is right for the entertainment it offers.
£0.69

Simple, great value photo app for moody, thoughtful images.
FREE
