Improving on Apple’s interface is a minefield of difficulties that most developers dare not tread. Not only are Apple’s apps better integrated into the OS than a third party developer could even hope for, but they are also set as defaults for when other apps send the user to do those tasks. There are still many developers that are trying to make a dent in this area of app development. App Savvy is one such company that has made a slash previously with their calendar app Agenda. With the success of that app they moved to bring their interface design to and status taps to another area of the iOS core software, Contacts.

One of the many trends that we see on the app store is sketch art or doodle. We seem to love the look of an old notebook with half-sketches and other proto-art. Blot by Magestic Software takes this theme to a casual reaction game that pits a lonely blots of ink against the harsh points of sharpened pencils. In case that drama isn’t enough for you, lets look at what else Blot has in store.

Miniature golf was one of those popular pastimes that have since fallen by the wayside of video games and other non-real life social activities. You and your friends would take your putters and attempt to sink the many wacky courses layout out at your local fun land.

Yet another attempt to ride on the Angry Birds fame, Ninja Chicken 3 utilizes similarly cute birds in the game. In this case, you have chickens dressed up as ninjas running along a 2D side-scrolling platform avoiding thorny plants and samurai pigs. Birds and pigs, do they sound familiar?

Most trivia games require you to give the correct answers to a series of questions. But not Right Right Wrong! That’s because Right Right Wrong, a new trivia game for iPhone, is not like most trivia games. Rather than asking you to provide the proper responses, Right Right Wrong! urges you to come up with the wrong one. This adds a new twist and a great deal of challenge to the tried-and-tested formula of trivia games.

It’s easy to be apprehensive about an app that offers you a ludicrous amount of features for the trite sum of $0.99. How much quality can you realistically pack in with such a small amount of money? While the apps featured in App Toolkit mostly don’t match up to the quality of equivalent stand-alone apps, there’s still enough here – and then some – to make this a good-value package.

Unlike a certain recently released to-do list app that was “clearly” stripped of all features but its ability to make lists itself, To Do Checklist seeks to provide you with a comprehensive solution for all your to-do list-making needs. It’s a feature-rich productivity app, to be sure, but it’s not so packed as to confound you with so many options. What it does is present you with only the most useful features that you’ll ever need in a digital task assistant.
