MadPad – Remix Your Life ($0.99)
Sometimes an app just screams, "Download me now!" MadPad is a VJ mash-up app – you shoot video, it records audio clips. Then you can share clips with other MadPad users and mix them together to create loops and music tracks. Finally, post your mash-ups to YouTube – where they'll appear alongside the likes of the excellent Kutiman – or share them on Facebook. Those chores will just have to wait.

The real test? Whether your friends get it.
