Lightning Fingers

LightningFingers
Lightning Fingers puts the power of lightning in your hands! It is a game about coordination and finesse.

The game starts when you place two fingers on the screen. Lightning shoots out of your fingers and holds them connected. The longer you can hold out the more points you’ll earn. The farther apart your fingers and the larger the lightning, creating a multiplier effect.

As shapes begin to fall you must dodge them. But don’t think you can simply lift your fingers from the screen. If you lift a finger the lightning dissipates and the games over!

Hues Rush

HuesRush
Hope you have a keen eye for colors, because Hues Rush is gonna test it.

Hues Rush is a game about a simple grid of colors. There will be one main color. And one color thats a bit off. Tap the one thats off to advance levels. As you advance the grid becomes larger and the number of shades between colors becomes less and less perceptible.

A few boost powerups will help you reach higher scores with longer bonus rounds or higher contrast. And of course GameCenter makes sure you can brag to your friends.

Envelope

Envelope
Envelope is a curating email app that helps you organize and sort your email automatically. And its packed with features.

Envelope features clusters that are like extra powerful threads to combine emails that go together so you can take action on them all at once. It also helps your filter your inbox by specific senders or important topics, or simple emails you haven’t seen yet today.

Envelope can even keep track of responses. When you reply to an important email you can mark it as expecting a response, and Envelope will alert you after a couple days if you haven’t heard back from your reply.

Envelope also offers handwritten signatures, a Notification Center Widget, organized attachments, saving attachments to dropbox, sending voice memos, and more!

Envelope supports Gmail, Google Apps, Yahoo, iCloud, Outlook, AOL, and any server that operates using IMAP.

Honorable Mentions

Every month I get more submissions than I can handle. I give every app a shot, but I can’t write about them all. These are still great apps made by readers like you. Its no a popularity contest or even a favorite picking contest. I just try to get a glimpse of what the community is working on through your submissions. Take a moment and checkout these other great apps I didn’t have time to showcase properly.
