Apps rush: Lady Gaga, AOL TV, Raditaz and more
A burst of 7 apps for your consideration today. Born This Way Revenge You can't escape Lady Gaga this week, thanks to the promotional frenzy around her new Born This Way album. The onslaught includes a new iPhone game, Born This Way Revenge, developed by Tap Tap Revenge maker Tapulous. The rhythm game lets fans tap along to 17 tracks from the album's special edition, with chat rooms, Gaga's Twitter feed and lyrics thrown in for good measure. AOL TV US-only for now, AOL TV is an iPhone and iPad app that lets users see what's currently airing on TV, cross-referencing it with content on streaming services Netflix and Hulu, and downloads on iTunes. The app can also look up show info on IMDb and Wikipedia, while setting users' TiVO digital video recorders to record shows. As the name implies, the app is the work of AOL. Best Buy Music Cloud UK retailer Carphone Warehouse launched its Music Anywhere cloud music service last year. Now its partner company Best Buy has its own version – powered by the same startup Catch Media – for Android. Users can listen to their collection on the go, while creating playlists and rating songs. Alcohology Feeling thirsty? Alcohology is a new cocktail recipe app for iPhone, with more than 1,200 cocktails to choose from. Its key feature is the ability to enter the drinks that you have available at home, to only see recipes using those ingredients. Alas, it probably draws a blank at finding a blend for Special Brew, 20/20 and chips. Raditaz Raditaz is a new streaming music app for Android which claims to blend Pandora-like personalised radio stations with Foursquare-style location and gamification features. In other words, create streaming radio stations based on your location, and earn points and badges for your activity within the app. Skrappy iPad app Skrappy styles itself as "the scrapbook for you", collecting music, videos, voice notes, websites, text and photos into a swipable virtual scrapbook, with the ability to export them as PDFs or in Skrappy's proprietary format. Simon Faithfull's Limbo Artist Simon Faithfull's official iPhone app offers up live 'digital drawings', based on his observational sketches from east London to Antarctica and back again. The app ties in with Faithfull's Facebook and Twitter profiles too. You can follow Guardian Apps Blog's Apps rush on delicious To suggest links, tag articles on delicious.com with "guardianappsblog"
