  • Making Faces ($3) allows users to stretch and distort images. Images can be imported from the devices library or taken with the built-in camera on the iPhone. Users can then zoom in/out, rotate, move, and distort the picture. Making faces includes several special effects such as pinch, bulge, wave, ripple, smudge, and smear.

  • Scan Cam ($1) is an optical character recognition application which uses the camera built into the iPhone 3GS. Users can hold the camera up to a text source and Scan Cam will attempt to convert the image into text. Scanned text can then be added to the paste board and moved between different applications on the device. Scan Cam currently features support for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Dutch.

  • VR+ ($2) can be used to record voice messages and post them to Facebook, MySpace, Blogger, and Twitter. Recordings are saved as MP3 files and users are able to select the recording quality. VR+ also includes a Voice Activity Detection feature which can automatically cut silence out of recordings. Finished recordings can be marked with a name and sorted into different categories.

  • Keys ($1) is designed to be a safe location to store personal information such as passwords. Entries can be sorted into customizable categories such as websites, credit cards, emails, and more. The application allows users to define which fields are required for each entry and also features support for storing multiple profiles.

  • SAGA Catapult ($2) is a game where players take on the role of a catapult operator. The goal of the game is to protect your town from a horde of enemies by hurling stones at them. As players progress through the game they can upgrade their abilities and their catapult. SAGA Catapult includes 30 levels which feature a variety of enemies and bosses, each with their own special abilities.
