Multi-angle filming is a trick as old as movies or television – you set up multiple cameras, roll film, and edit between them after the fact. If you didn’t have multiple cameras, you had to do multiple takes from the different angles. Roland wants to make this easier, with the 4XCamera Maker app for iOS.

Business card scanning junkies – get Cards app now
Cards is an app by Julian Schiavo that does one thing very well – it scans business cards. There have been apps that do this for years – I’ve used tons of them. But none do it so well as Cards.

Adobe Fresco is making digital painting more of a reality
For those who may not know, I enjoy myself a bit of wet-on-wet technique oil painting. You know, the style popularized by the man himself, Bob Ross.

Dice by PCalc will never leave you without a saving throw
If you’re a dedicated role-player you’ll know the satisfaction of holding a wonderful little bag of dice. The cold density of a D20, the oddness of a 4-sided, the perfection of a six-sided die – all of those are important to the gaming process.

The app, available for $1.99, lets you choose dice and then roll them individually or all at once. Need dice on your wrist? You can access the app on your Apple Watch and get a quick saving throw on the fly. While nothing beats the feel of four little geometric pieces of luck in your hand, this is the next best thing.
