What's new on the app stores on Tuesday 26 July 2011
A burst of 9 apps for your consideration
VooMote One
The VooMote One app works with a separate accessory that slides onto an iPhone or iPod touch, turning it into a universal remote control for TVs, DVD players, hi-fis and other gadgets. Users can fiddle with the settings to customise the controls to their usage. The app is free, but the hardware will cost $99 in the US, with UK pricing to be confirmed.
iPhone
Bonusprint
Bonusprint has launched a dedicated iPad app that aims to help people create photo books from the images stored on their tablets. The idea: spread photos over 24 pages, and then order the actual printed book to be delivered within a week.

Jack and the Beanstalk by Mindshapes
British developer Mindshapes has released its latest iOS app, moving beyond its own Jellytoons brand to try its hand at fairy tales. Jack and the Beanstalk combines mini-games and hidden items with animation and voice narration – along with a modern spin that sees Jack addicted to console games.

DE:BUG – The Sound of Berlin
German magazine DE:BUG has released a classy-looking iPad app giving a guide to Berlin from a bunch of DJs and music producers. The idea: they present their favourite spots around the city, accompanied by audio slideshows, interviews and essays.

AirVox
AirVox is one of the first music creation apps for iPhone and iPad where you don't touch the screen to control your virtual instrument. Instead, it's all done with gestures as you hover your hand above the front-facing camera. 48 preset instrument sounds and the ability to share your creations on SoundCloud add to the fun.

Momotaro
TouchyBooks has released an Android version of its Momotaro book-app, with proceeds going to UNICEF to help the rebuilding effort in Japan following this year's earthquake and tsunami.
