We may be an iOS games site, but occassionally there are a few non-gaming apps that come to my attention.
If they're good and especially if they're free, I feel I have a duty to let you know about them.
The first is free only for today. Smart Alarm Clock is not only a useful alarm clock, but it measures your natural sleep cycles and calculates the best time to wake up, avoiding those sudden surprise wake-ups when you least need it (though it can't give you an extra hour in bed without making you late for work, more's the pity).
This useful little App can also record noise while you sleep, coming back with some useful and sometimes downright scary results. It's great if you need to know if you snore, or to work out just what you say when you're asleep.
The second is a bit of Easter fun. The Talking Augmented Easter Egg is both a good way of showing how Augmented Reality works and something fun for the kids at Easter.
Not only does it work with Easter Eggs and real eggs but it can also bring to life a fried egg! Painting, decorating and giving your eggs a bit of character can all be achieved without the mess of a real paint set and need for artistic talent. The App is free for a limited time.
