What's new on the app stores on Monday 22 August 2011

A burst of 6 apps for your consideration

Reading Festival 2011

This year's Reading Festival has an official app courtesy of Mobile Roadie, with music from the participating artists, videos, a schedule and community features. And yes, there's also a version for the Leeds leg of the festival.
iPhone

Comics + Kids

There are a number of digital comic apps for iOS already, but this one focuses on a specific demographic: children. That means titles from a range of print publishers aimed at kids, with a mixture of free and paid titles.
iPhone / iPad

Baseball Connect

For perhaps-obvious reasons, this app has launched in the US rather than the UK. Still, the idea would work well for sports that are popular here too. It's an iPad game that turns live sporting events into effectively a multiplayer bingo game: each player has a virtual game board listing things that might happen during a baseball match. Get five in a row, and they earn points against their friends.
iPad

Do Some Good

Operator Orange has launched its Do Some Good app, which encourages people to take photos and geotag litter, graffiti and dog eggs on the streets of Britain. LoveCleanStreets, which is behind the campaign, will then alert local councils so they can clean it up.
iPhone / Android / BlackBerry / Symbian

UberMage

UberMage is a new Windows Phone 7 RPG adventure game that's been two years in the making. It offers dual-stick controls and visuals making use of XNA's 3D graphics acceleration.
Windows Phone

Gobby

Gobby is an iPhone app that aims to fill in the colloquial gaps in the vocabulary of people learning English. Break a leg, throwing toys out of the pram, play a blinder... The app explains what they mean, with Londoners speaking them for good measure.
