A selection of 9 new apps for you today:

djay – David Guetta Edition

DJ and producer David Guetta has released his latest app, working with developer algoriddim on a remixing application including samples and drum beats from his new album. The app can also be used to create DJ mixes of the songs already in your iPhone's music library.

McAfee Family Protection

Security firm McAfee's new app is aimed at parents worried their child is surfing nefarious websites on their Android smartphone. It filters websites in the default Android browser by category, and also prevents children from downloading and using other browsers, and claims to have "uninstall protection" to stop them from removing the McAfee software. But will it defeat the ingenuity of the average teenager?

Train Tickets

CrossCountry Trains has a new smartphone app in the UK offering real-time travel information and – on routes that support it – mobile ticketing too. The latter come as 2D barcodes and readable tickets, scanned by staff on the trains.

Rexly

It's a shame that music discovery app Rexly is unavailable in the UK, as it looks interesting. The app plays people's iTunes music, while showing them what friends are listening to. Can it succeed where Apple has (so far) struggled to build a music-focused social network on iPhone though?

Diabetes UK Tracker

Charity Diabetes UK has launched an iPhone app to help people monitor their daily levels, and share the data with doctors and their friends. It tracks blood glucose, insulin, carbs, calories, weight and ketones, and even enables people to snap photos of their meals for reference.

IMDb Trivia

Film website IMDb has launched a free iPhone game that aims to test people's knowledge of films, TV shows and celebrities. It's a trivia quiz with five difficulty levels and in-app purchases for new question packs.

Penn & Teller: Guess The Lie

Another social TV app, although this one's US-only. Magicians Penn & Teller have a new show on Discovery Channel there, and its official app synchronises with the live broadcasts so viewers can play along.

Corona Appy Hour

A spot-the-difference game for iPad, sponsored by alcohol brand Corona. Also "reminds you to relax responsibly", naturally.
