The World by National Geographic : It ’s a ‘ maps ’ app in the sense that the bulk of what you ’re looking at is maps . But it ’s also a spinning globe app that allows you to twirl around our short blue planet to your centre ’s desire ( rich people : pick your next vacation ! ) , a photos app that shows you astonishingly gorgeous pictures of office around the humanity ( hey Algeria , you are booootiful ) and a Flag book that shows you all the flags of area around the domain . The idea is to let you poke , prod and yes , spin the world around however you want . $ 4
Google catalogue : Google Catalogs has signed up some untried retailer whose product can be browse easily in the app , such as Urban Outfitters , Sephora , Macy ’s , Nordstrom , Williams - Sonoma and Pottery Barn . The app seems like a sassy way to range for token of interest , whether it be a specific search ( such as a red jacket ) , or just by category . loose
TableDrum : TableDrum is a drumming app that lets you tap out beats without touching your iOS gimmick . Instead of tapping your screen , you pink an object around you and the app will respond with a tympan beat . The developers key it as an augmented audio diligence that lets you sync the sound of an international target to a rataplan . you may tap your digit , slam a door or spang some ass and sync these sounds to the app . $ 4
Hitchhiker ’s Guide to the Galaxy : It wo n’t be out until early Fall but the app sounds awe-inspiring . It ’s basically decease to be an interactive variant of the pathfinder . Users can “ learn all about the importance of towels , vogons , Milliways , the Babel Fish , a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster , how to make it in place , and more ” .

Helo TC : It ’s a tangible life helicopter ( toy , of course ) that can be controlled by your iOS machine . You plug in a “ flight of steps deck ” which is a earpiece jack adapter that turns actions into infrared signals for the Helo TC to read . you could either use a virtual joystick to steer the Helo or check it by tilting your iPad forward , backward and side to side . The app is free but the helicopter costs 50 bucks .
