Birthday Cal looks pretty decent. It keeps track of birth dates and tells you the ones coming up next. What’s nice is you can track how old each contact will be with their birthday coming up. The advance notifications give you the chance to prepare for the important dates coming up with enough time at hand.

You don’t have to enter the dates into this app manually. You can import them from your address-book. Every time you give someone a gift, just record it in the app for future references.

Type on PDF works on your iPhone, iPad, and even iPod Touch. It lets you type or write on your PDF forms. You get multiple pen colors and text sizes to fill out forms more conveniently. Find yourself filling out the same forms over and over gain? Type On PDF supports document templates.

Type on PDF is fully interactive. You can pan/zoom and insert images from your clipboard or library. Exporting to DropBox is a lifesaver of a feature to have. This tool works in both viewing modes.

Type on PDF is one of the best apps in its category. It is quite versatile and makes manipulation PDF documents a piece of cake. A nice tool to have for anyone who has to deal with forms on a regular basis.

Scan Pages has a quite simple user interface. Just put down your document the right way and start scanning. Scan Pages organizes your images right on your iPhone.

TouchBase Calendar is more than a simple appointment manager for iPhone. It grabs all the relevant information from your iPhone calendar and saves you time staying on the right track. When you add an appointment to your calendar, TouchBase grabs your information and shows you where and who you will be meeting. It also gives you the option to keep the other parties updated on your status.

TouchBase Calendar has an elegant and intuitive interface. The developers have gone out of their way to make this app work as painlessly as possible. TouchBase has you covered even if you don’t know where you are going. Running late? Letting others know could not get any easier. I like the fact that it works with MobileMe, Google, CalDAV, and other popular types of calendars.

TouchBase Calendar is a brilliant calendar well worth picking up for anyone with a ton of events to keep up on a regular basis. It can act as your personal assistant and keep you on the right track at all times. When paired with Siri, the sky’s the limit for it.

Newstream has an attractive interface for a mobile RSS reader. It supports RSS and ATOM formats. It grabs your feeds and makes them look like a modern newspaper. Adding new feeds to it is pretty simple. Users can easily see how many unread stories they have in their incoming box. The app is social media friendly which helps.

Newstream has a lot of potential but is not perfect by any means. For starters, it did crash on us a few times. Adding folder management to this app would be pretty neat. We would love for it to support syncing with third-party and cloud-based services. Newstream has the looks and is a good effort by the developers. It does need more features and better stability though.

Rating: 8.6/10

Do it (Tomorrow) is a fast to-do application. The app’s interface feels like a pocketbook. Checking off and postponing existing tasks is a piece of cake. This tool works on your iPhone and iPad. You can sync your tasks across multiple devices which is very helpful. Your items can be accessed on tomorrow.do.

Do it (Tomorrow) does not have many bells and whistles. It is an intuitive to-do list manager that makes adding new items and postponing existing tasks for a short-while quite easy. Being able to turn off sounds would be nice. I would probably not use this for a complex project. But Do It is more than capable of handling your daily tasks.

ListBook can handle as many lists as you have. Adding new lists and items to those lists is a piece of cake. Once you are done with items in your lists, you can just check them off. There are multiple ways to view an overview of your tasks (by pinching or via a button). ListBook can handle shopping, to-do, or any other type of list you can think of.

There was a time when people used to rely on paper notebooks to handle their to-do lists. Thanks to apps such as ListBook, you can do that on your phone. The app looks pretty elegant and is very fast. It may not have too many bells and whistles but does what it promises well.
