Designed to work alongside Lego's DC Universe Super Heroes blocks, the app lets you create a stop-motion film using your phone that you can then share with friends or upload to the web to share with the world.\nTo help with the storytelling process Lego has included 11 title cards in the mix with images from Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and more. The app also has five different soundtracks you can add to enhance your crime-fighting tale, and offers the option to add a colored filter to your shot to give a scene a particular look or mood.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJazz\nThere are tons of photo filter apps available these days, but one app -- Jazz -- adds filters to your photos a little differently. Playing off a jazz music theme, the app will create different looks for your photos by pressing a G-clef sign on the screen. Once you find a look you like, you can select the photo and further customize it before saving and sharing your masterpiece.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMemefier\nIf you've ever wished you could turn your friends into memes, now's your chance.

Called XLR8, the app uses the accelerometer in your phone to produce sound like a Classic V8 Muscle Car,  NASCAR engine, Ford GT40, or an exotic Ferrari  or Lamborghini sports car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlants vs. Zombies\nLong-time favorite Plants vs. Zombies saw a major iOS update this week adding 3 new game modes, 4 new mini-games, and 28 new game center achievements.
