Kids and adults will love Lego's newest iOS app: Lego Super Hero Movie Maker. Designed to work alongside Lego's DC Universe Super Heroes blocks, the app lets you create a stop-motion film using your phone that you can then share with friends or upload to the web to share with the world.
To help with the storytelling process Lego has included 11 title cards in the mix with images from Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and more. The app also has five different soundtracks you can add to enhance your crime-fighting tale, and offers the option to add a colored filter to your shot to give a scene a particular look or mood.
There are tons of photo filter apps available these days, but one app -- Jazz -- adds filters to your photos a little differently. Playing off a jazz music theme, the app will create different looks for your photos by pressing a G-clef sign on the screen. Once you find a look you like, you can select the photo and further customize it before saving and sharing your masterpiece.
If you've ever wished you could turn your friends into memes, now's your chance. A new app called Meme Maker uses facial recognition to superimpose a rage comic over a person's face. The app detects any faces in the scene and automatically sizes a meme to fit give the subject a derpy new head.
Sure you've looked at the text on Twitter, but have you ever just looked at the photos? A new app called Twizgrid lets you view Twitter visually, displaying photos that have been uploaded to the service in a grid-like format.
You can view an unfiltered stream of photos from Twitter, or you can customize what you see by topic or location.
We can't all own our dream car, but a new app lets you make your current ride at least sound like the wheels you've always dreamed of. Called XLR8, the app uses the accelerometer in your phone to produce sound like a Classic V8 Muscle Car, NASCAR engine, Ford GT40, or an exotic Ferrari or Lamborghini sports car.
Long-time favorite Plants vs. Zombies saw a major iOS update this week adding 3 new game modes, 4 new mini-games, and 28 new game center achievements. The game also added new Mystery sprouts you can add to your Zen Garden in the game, and additional coin packs.
Pictionary-style game Draw Something was updated this week, adding the game's first new features since it was acquired by Zynga a few weeks ago.
Now in addition to drawing with your friends, you can chat with them after you're done guessing a particular drawing. You can save drawings you think are particularly fantastic to your photo roll, and you can share especially noteworthy scribbles with your friends on Facebook and Twitter from directly within the app.
