Smile Alarm forces you to get up, whether you like it or not, by giving you a game or puzzle to play before it even turns off. The alarm will allow you to set a song from your iPod app as the actual wake up notification, but until you complete one of several games to choose from, it’s going to keep playing. Some of the games include having to calculate a math problem, counting a number of bricks, ordering objects from memory, remembering a specific pattern, and so much more. It’s so easy for me to just turn my alarm off as it is, so this little app could is quite worth it for me. And at zero dollars, it’s an absolute steal.
Grab it while the deal lasts.

TourWrist Lets You Tour the World with its Interactive Immersive Panoramic Experience on the iPhone or iPad. Free!
Editor’s Pick: TourWrist

TourWrist Universal (Optimized for both the iPad and iPhone) (4 stars with 1864 Ratings)
Free
Do you ever wish you could see the most exotic and gasp-inducing places around the globe? Of course you do, everybody does. But not everybody has the chance to gallivant around the world and take in the sights. That changes a bit today with TourWrist, though. You see, TourWrist is 360 panoramic app that allows you to see where other people have been by stitching together carefully taken photos to create an immersive, 3D experience of wherever that person was.
But where TourWrist really shines is in its ability to see the work of others as if you were in that scene in real life. That is, when you rotate or turn your iPhone or iPad, the screen moves as if it were your very own eyes, giving an incredibly realistic, “practically there in person” phenomenon. With TourWrist’s built in social network of other people’s work that you can browse, you can really draw some…(More)
Space-time, A Free Location Sharing app, has set the Internet Abuzz
Editor’s Pick: Space-time

Space-time iPhone OS (4.5 stars with 20 Ratings)
Free
Are you ever curious where your friends are at? Have you ever tried to coordinate with them to meet up, but their description of their location was completely confusing and a little less than stellar? Well an app that was recently released might help you with that.
It’s called Space-time, and it’s setting the internet abuzz. Space-time will allow you to see your friend’s location, but not via the typical way through an app like you would expect. As long as your friend has a smartphone, be it an iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry, etc., all you have to do is sent them a text message with a clearly defined GPS link from the app, and if they click on it, their location will be shared with you. It’s that simple. The app doesn’t run in the background, so you don’t have to worry about anybody’s battery going kaput. It only does its thing when you request someone’s GPS location.
While some people find the whole location finding app business a little creepy, this one is unique in that any time you request a location, your friend has the option to accept or deny, so it’s completely up to them if they want to share where they are. Imagine if someone’s car is broken down, or you’re trying to meet up for lunch, or whatever other scenario you could think of. Space-time appears to be a great solution to that.
Warp Dash: Awesome Warp Speed 3D Racer Gone Free!
Editor’s Pick: Warp Rush

Warp Rush Universal (Optimized for both iPhone and iPad) (4 stars with 1236 Ratings) $0.99 -> Free
There are many words to describe this excellent endless 3D racer. But one word that comes to mind immediately after playing over a dozen rounds is “fast”. In Warp Dash your speed can go infinitely faster as you pick up more triangle warp pieces. The faster you run, the higher score you can pick up. But in an environment where obstacles are plentiful, warp speed could be your undoing…

While that might seem simple enough, there’s also the matter of entertaining graphics and challenges to be found along the 25 challenging levels you encounter, all taking place over 4 different worlds. With unlock able levels and mammoths to be had, Cool Race is replete with fun for everyone.
