"Try These Top Mobile Apps in 2012" by Steve L August

Over one million smartphone apps have been developed during the last three years and they have been downloaded more than 35 billion times. Therefore, there are a lot of apps you can get. However, it has become harder to find the right kind of app that can help you do wonderful things. Let me introduce some of these wonderful apps and explain what they could do.

Ferries HD: It is an iPad game that lets users handle a wide range of ferries and tests their agility through this. In this game, players need to guide these ferries to the right destination by drawing a path for them with their fingers. Apart from the free map Three Shores, it has three more maps - Underwater, Caribbean Island and Two passengers. Players can also share their scores as it has online leaderboards and Game Center support. The concept of Ferries HD is almost like Runway type of games, so it is not pretty new. However, this HD game is bit more exciting than other such games of the same genre. Ferries HD is a free app compatible with iPad and requires iOS 4.0 or later.

MetaTrader 5: This is an app version of the popular Forex trading platform MetaTrader 5. With it users can control their account, trade in the financial markets and analyze markets with technical indicators. It offers 14 most popular technical indicators such as Average True Range, Bollinger Bands, Commodity Channel Index and Force Index. To use MetaTrader 5, users must have an account or they need to register for a demo account. This app also lets them handle more than one trading account. However, the developers should think about including a Help section, as new users may find this app a bit too technical. MetaTrader 5 is a free app compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad and requires iOS 4.0 or later. This app is also available in Windows and Android platforms.

Memo Gea: It helps users keep track of those things that they have to remember. Memo Gea can be utilized in business meetings or class lectures to make an audio recording or add text, pictures, and even web pages. This app would also come in handy when they want to note down their ideas. After launching it, users can start a new session by tapping Record New Session. Memo Geo has the ability to let users email documents straight from it. If the device is short on memory, users can adjust the quality settings to a slightly lower bitrate to free up the memory. I think the developers need to tweak the interface a bit more. Memo Gea is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad and requires iOS 5.0 or later. It costs USD 0.99.
