1. Contacts Duster Pro (Free)
Does your contacts list need some housekeeping but you don’t have time go through and manually clean it up? Let Contacts Duster Pro come in and check for duplicates, then merge and purge multiple entries. It couldn’t get any easier! It’s also helpful if you have multiple iOS devices, are switching between carriers and when you upgrade to a new iPhone.
2. WeatherRun (Free from $1.99)
Being active outdoors is great, but sometimes the weather can put a real damper on your plans. There’s nothing worse than getting a few miles out and having the sky open up on you. WeatherRun will not only keep track of the weather, altitude and humidity, but it will also help you track your speed, heart rate, distance, duration and route.
3. Hypnotron ($0.99 from $1.99)
As it says on the app store, Hypnotron “messes with your head.” This is an optical illusion app containing six different high-contrast black and white patterns that move while trippy music plays in the background. By staring into the center of the patterns for a few seconds, your mind will continue to process the motion, distorting what you see around you for a few seconds. Fun for parties or for when you just want to look at the world a little bit differently.
