We've been sifting through the latest App Store offerings so you don't have to – here are five of the best releases from the past seven days.
Paper Monsters ($0.99)
Choose from 'floating' Joystick or a regular touchscreen touchpad controls in this 2D platformer adventure set against a 3D paper and cardboard world. This is a very good-looking iOS game with 16 levels and four worlds to run around in.

Voice Synth ($5.49)
Not everyone has guitars, keyboards and synths they can plug into their iPhone or iPad – but handily you can turn your raspy voice into an instrument with Voice Synth. Make yourself sound like pop stars, robots, movie voiceover men and even a lion – how did the devs know?
Get it
My Army ($0.99)
With simple tilt, tap and swipe controls, you can lead an army of your Facebook friends to battle in this game – which requires highly developed soldier recruiting and rescuing skills. Also some good old fashioned bomb and mine-dodging.
Get it
Action Movie FX (Free)
Even though it's a little old, Action Movie FX gets another mention as it's still free for now (with three FX packs and others available for a price). This genius app adds "Hollywood" style effects and sounds/music to your iPhone videos and has just been updated to include 'Demolition Rock' in the free version.
Get it
Shoebox (Free)
We really hope our mums don't get hold of this one: Shoebox is an app that lets you quickly scan and flatten real-life snaps to then record, categorise and even add to your Facebook Timeline at the right date. Scary but useful if you want to digitise everything in your life.
