Apps for June 28, 2012
MobileRSS Pro

There are reviews for this app stating that this is crashing on devices with iOS 5.0 and up. Even though the test device didn’t crash since it has an older version of the iOS, it is save to assume that this might give you problems if you have the iOS mentioned. Hopefully there will be an update to fix these issues.

GroupShot
GroupShot will fix one photo and take elements from another similar photo and make the final product look like it is what you wanted to take in the first place. This app solves a common problem found in group photos, for example, one person who isn’t facing the camera or whose expression doesn’t fit the rest of the group. To be on the safe side some people take multiple shots and find out which one is better, but you can take two different elements from two photos and merge them together and show everyone what you wanted in the final photo. All you need to do is to load your images, mark the parts you wish to replace, and choose the best option from the rest of the set. There is no technical know how to get the best photo possible which would make anyone a professional photographer/photo editor.
Price: $0.99
Version discovered: 1.6.0
Requires: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; iOS 4.0 and up

You have over 75 different types of units to build like honeymoon suites, casinos, steakhouses, nightclubs, and rooftop helipads. There are over 150 objectives that you need to do so you need to level up your tower while earning extra cash and favors to spend on new units and upgrades.
