amazing data visualizations for baseball history, games and players covering the 1950s to 2010s… as quoted from the developer “an interactive exploration of baseball data that allows users to quickly and accurately recreate and investigate the history of the annual race to be the best team in Major League Baseball.” simple, elegant and stunning graphics make baseball attractive to even the most un-interested sportsman.

my favorite dutch designer wim crouwel now has a clock app! commissioned by the Design Museum in London, UK its a super scaled back basic clock w/ his typography as numerators. also has a kitschy alarm setting where hes recorded his voice w/ design phrases of the day. could do with some more type options and sounds.

A selection of colorful and humorous wallpapers from Juan Molinet who created some fake vintage Japanese advertising characters for iPhone and iPad.

modern and clean weather app w/ some great enhancements like 7 day forecast. swipe across for weekly forecast and pull up for hourly updates. select metric, 24 hour time and EU or US temperature formats. check out some of the other weather apps i have reviewed.

simple pixel based clock screen saver which uses a 1 pixel = 1 second metaphor. 360 pixels are painted every hour to fill one square. has black w/ white background, and white w/ black background as well as landscape and portrait modes. another fab clock app from japan!

dutch graphic design memory game which uses pictograms designed by Gerd Arntz for public spaces. the app and graphics were meticulously crafted by ontwerpwerk in the hague, netherlands. the app contains a selection of 250 from the more than 4,000 pictograms Gerd Arntz drew between 1928 and 1965. check out the Switzerland memory card game reviewed as well.

a graphically stunning meta reader of RSS, blogs, sites and any content you can connect a parser too! elegant visually stunning interface which uses gestures subtly to navigate your content stream. long overdue feature on this since before we went on hiatus. we at app.itize.us love @flipboard

nav your music collection using planets as a metaphor. amazing graphic representation of artists, albums, tracks, etc. fly through your collection like the voyager probe did our solar system. wish they would have had a hide controls feature to make the entire experience a screen saver (am i missing something @neb?). regardless, its a stellar app and no pun intended!

a super simple calendar app using helvetica typography that looks worlds better than inbuilt. i wonder when apple will start allowing you to tweak the fonts on your own. until then i’ll start using this app. syncs to google cal too which is a huge plus for me. stay simple and use helvetica!

anything that deals with barcodes and music is brilliant in my book. super interactive scan and jam from the hip!
