Price: Free
For anyone who likes to shop at the online shopping giant AliExpress, this app is a must. You will find the latest bargains and can search for all kinds of items (that you don't really need).

The ordering process in the app is very easy and you can read reviews of items and stores. The app is available for both platforms.
Finger Beat
FingerBeat is a fun app for drumming on your iPhone. The most convenient is to connect headphones to your iPhone, then you hear the sounds best. You tap a virtual drum machine with your fingers and can even record your own voice and create rhythms with it. Of course it is possible to record rhythms and after a recording you can add other rhythms to your beat. The app makes sure that everything sounds good, even if you play a little sloppy.
