Mailbox
There's been a lot of talk about the arrival of Mailbox - an iPhone app that promises to put "email in its place". With easy swipe archiving and a 'snooze' button for inbox items that can wait are just some of the features that will allow users to easily manage their email accounts. The only problem is, once you download the app, you'll be put in a virtual queue before you can gain access.
PhotoFunia
A photo editing app that's free on Windows Phone 7.5 and 8, PhotoFunia does all the serious work via the cloud, which means your phone won't suffer as a result. Includes filters and effects, and the ability to share your works of creative genius.
AudioBox
Between the tablet, the smartphone and the laptop, music lovers these days have tracks spread all over their tech. With AudioBox you don't have to worry about where it's coming from - it syncs all your tunes, and happily streams from Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, YouTube and SoundCloud, no matter where you've stored them. The app is free on iOS but you'll need to sign up for a storage plan, which start at $0.99 for 5GB.
Cordy 2
The sequel to the popular platform game has arrived and once again, it'll transport you into a world of nostalgic gaming with a shiny, 21st century gloss. It's certainly not ground breaking stuff, but there's plenty to enjoy. Available on iOS and Android.
