A bumper day today, with a burst of 11 apps for your consideration.
WI Orchestra
Released by Wallander Instruments, this intriguing iPhone and iPad app claims to be "a full orchestral library and compositional tool". That means users can create their own classical works by layering instruments, using a similar velocity-based keyboard to Apple's GarageBand app. The app is free, but the instrument bundles are paid in-app downloads - £1.79 for strings, saxophones, brass etc.
Army of Darkness Defense
Backflip Studios made its name with freemium iPhone games like Paper Toss. Now it's released its first big branded game, based on the cult zombie movie of the same name. The business model is a paid download in this case, rather than freemium.
Royal Wedding Album
Well, better late than never. By waiting until now to launch its official Royal Wedding iPad app, the Press Association has been able to include exclusive photos of William and Kate's big day, along with older pics of the couple, both together and separately. It's selling for £2.99.
Juno Jr's The Day The Music Stopped
Based on musical edutainment DVD brand Juno Jr, this is a music book-app for iPhone and iPad, blending 3D animation and original orchestral compositions, teaching kids how to put their own melodies and harmonies together.
Times IntARact
This augmented reality BlackBerry app works with codes printed in the Times of India newspaper, allowing readers to be shown videos, posts, tweets and deals when pointing their camera at the page.
TweetCaster Pink for Twitter
Handmark has reskinned its Android Twitter app to raise money for breast cancer charity Feel Your Boobies Foundation (which, if you're wondering, aims to raise awareness among young women of the need to check their breasts for lumps). The app costs $10 – and, as the name implies, is pink.
FishSquare
"Fishing meets FourSquare. Record your catches, see who else is fishing and what bait and tactics they are using." A beautiful idea, although one that makes us wonder how many fishers are really checking in between casts.
Slangatang
Hats off to EJC Labs: the morning after the apps-themed episode of The Apprentice aired on UK TV, they've developed a full Android parody of the boys' team's Slangatang app. And put it live on Android Market for good measure.
Memneon
UK-developed Memneon is an iPhone and iPad game that aims to offer a new spin on brain training, with pattern-based gameplay and lashings of neon.
Hector EP1 HD: We Negotiate With Terrorists
Telltale Games' graphical adventure stars Hector, a detective who's 'violent, drunken and has a taste for all things criminal'. Has the potential to be up there with Monkey Island – high praise indeed.
MetalStorm: Online
This online multiplayer dogfighting game is the latest iPhone and iPad game from US publisher Z2Live, which has previously struck big with its Trade Nations social game.
