What's new on the app stores on Friday 12 August 2011
A burst of 10 apps for your consideration
Barclays Football
As the sponsor of the English Premier League, Barclays has launched an official app to mark the start of the season. It will offer live text on match days, stats, fixture lists and tables, and a Ticket Office contest to win match tickets. Social features include Facebook chat within the app itself, and there are even augmented reality views of every stadium. It only popped up this morning, so here are direct links for iPhone and Android.

Telegraph Clearing 2011
With the annual university clearing process set to get underway in the UK, the Telegraph – UCAS' official media partner for the process – has launched an iPhone and Android app to help students find vacancies on courses. The app will be updated every hour to ensure its data is never out of date. Again, here are direct links to iPhone and Android as this has just gone live.

Anomaly Warzone Earth
There are hundreds of tower defence games on iPhone and iPad, and many of them are rubbish. Even the good ones often fall into a similar template. Anomaly Warzone Earth has the clever idea of turning the tables: users play as the attackers, not the defenders. It's developed by 11 Bit Studios and published by Chillingo.

V Festival 2011
This year's V Festival in the UK takes place in mid-August, and predictably there's an app for that. A few, in fact: it's launching on iPhone, Symbian, BlackBerry and Android. Users can enter competitions, find their way around the festival site, and locate their Facebook friends while at the event. It's the work of Ashley Bolser Agency.
