Launch Penguins with YETISPORTS 1: Pingu Throw
YETISPORTS 1: Pingu Throw - Penguins are one of those well-loved animals on our planet. Maybe it is the adorable way they waddle, the little honking noises they make, or the way they fly through the air yelling “yippee!” when a Yeti hits them with a baseball bat. Yep, you read that right.
Multiplayer Tiki Spades is Trump Card App
Multiplayer Tiki Spades - I grew up learning to play every card game imaginable and even though I’m more of a card guppy than a card shark, I enjoy card games immensely. It’s not always easy to find other people to join in, so I really appreciate a good video card game.

iTranslate Plus is no Universal Translator, but it's Pretty Good
iTranslate Plus, from Outer Space Apps, enables you to translate text between 2 of 35 languages. It’s not as capable as the Universal Translator so often used on Star Trek (there’s no Romulan or Klingon, for example) but it works fine for humans, as far as I can tell.
See Time Fly With FlipDown
FlipDown - I rarely get excited about random apps that aren’t clearly designed for productivity or have a specified purpose that seems useful or necessary in some way. However, FlipDown by InterHive is clearly an exception. Simply put, FlipDown is a customizable countdown timer for target events.

Bubble Pop: More Than Popping Bubbles
Bubble Pop™ is the other app with the words “bubble” and/or “pop” in its name, not to be confused with Pop, Bubble Pop!, BubblePop, BubbleWrap!, BubbleWrap or Bubble Snap. Bubble Pop™ from Bapsoft is a great game that is much more complex than simply popping bubbles.

Timewerks Puts Mobile Billing Right to Work
Well-crafted billing apps for the iPhone and iPod touch are as hard to find as a sinner on Sunday, but Sorth's Timewerks: Mobile Billing is the best one I've come across. The problem I have with most of these apps is that they are often tedious to use or lack essential features.
