1 - XE Currency
XE Currency is a fine example of an app that does what it needs to, without fuss. You configure a list of currencies, and it shows current conversion rates.
Double-tap a currency to set its base rate or to define values for custom conversions.
2 - TuneIn Radio
Don't bother buying a DAB radio - just install TuneIn Radio instead and plug your device into a set of speakers.
TuneIn Radio has a great interface for accessing over 100,000 digital stations; it also has AirPlay support, and you can use it as an alarm clock.
3 - iMotion
We say a big PFFT! at CGI. Real animators use stop-motion, until they inevitably go crazy at only being able to craft about three seconds of footage per week.iMotion enables you to create such painstaking animations with your device.
The sting in the tail: an IAP for export, but if you don't care about that, you can play your creations on your device to your heart's content. There's also the free iMotion Remote to use as a remote controller over Wi-Fi for iMotion, to avoid you accidentally moving your 'camera'.
4 - TED
TED is brain food. The app provides access to talks by insanely clever people, opening your mind to new and radical ideas.
You can also save your favourite talks locally, for even easier access, or ask the app to inspire you, based on your mood and available time.
5 - PayPal
Whatever bank you're with PayPal has you covered for mobile banking and it's a pretty solid performer.
You can manage your account on the go, send and receive money and find local businesses using PayPal Here, so you can pay for stuff without cash. Nifty.
