Calcbot: A Beautiful New Take on Calculators - For iPhone & iPad
Tapbots are well known for making incredible applications: they look incredible, they’re incredibly useful. Pastebot is one of my most used iPhone apps, and the recent Retina Display update made it even better. Convertbot makes converting units fun and simple. Weightbot - I wish I’ll be able to use it someday. Thing is, no one gets custom UIs as right as Mark Jardine does. Period.
There was so much hype about Tapbots’ new projects. This review is not about Tweetbot, and I guess we’ll have to wait for their much-requested Twitter client for a while. The folks over at Tapbots have just released a brand new application for iPhone and iPad, and before you hold your breath for something incredibly complex and game-changing - Calcbot is a “just” a simple calculator.
But it’s the best calculator app I’ve ever had on my iPhone. And iPad. And it’s not sitting on both my home screens.

Expenditure: A Beautiful Way To Track Your Expenses - 10 Codes Up for Grabs
Finance is boring. Numbers are boring. I’m not a mathematician, I’m no finance expert either - I’ve never been interested in these subjects. Not until I realized I had to keep track of my expenses and incomes if I wanted to make a living out of what I do every day.
Thank Jobs the world is full of App Store developers willing to create gorgeous and enjoyable apps for stuff that would be tremendously boring otherwise. I’m an avid MoneyBook user and couldn’t be happier about it: it’s got a stunning UI, it’s got online sync, it’s easy to use. But, there’s a new kid on the block of financial apps for iPhone: Expenditure by Shape HQ.

iFiles Now iPad-compatible with MobileMe, Google Docs and Facebook Support
iFiles is one of the most popular file manager apps for iPhone. Actually, it’s more than a simple file manager: it’s a document viewer, a voice recorder, a wifi drive and a text editor. And, unlike other similar apps, it’s got a great looking icon and a clean interface design.
iFiles is one of the best executed, feature-rich productivity apps of its kind I’ve seen in the App Store. Now, it’s iPad compatible, too.
