Boat Beacon featured in Boats.com
"If you only need the AIS basics and you boat in waters close to populated areas, you can even access AIS by smartphone. One new app, called Boat Beacon, brings the data up right on your phone. The app provides collision detection out to 60 miles, CPA calculations, basic GPS data, and MMSI numbers so you can hail nearby vessels directly. Boat Beacon is available for iPhones only, and it goes for $9.99 on the iTunes store."

Review: BugMe! Stickies Pro for iPhone and iPad
From
Radiant Reviews:
There are many different colored post it notes that you can choose from. You can also choose to take your own picture and use that as your note background which is pretty cool. You can also assign a particular note a due date, so it will remind you and the note will appear letting you know that your appointment is coming up. It works via push notifications, and it works extremely well. I have been very pleased with its overall functionality.Labels: BugMe, Electric Pocket, iPad, iPhone
MailTones – Email Alerts and Sounds
From
The iPhone Mom:
MailTones is an app for those wishing to cut through their email clutter. The app works by allowing you to assign custom sounds to various emails. You can assign for different contacts, subjects and senders. Assign the sound and when an email comes in matching that parameter you’ll receive a push notification on your phone, alerting you
with the sound you chose. There are over 60 tones to choose from as well as a “Do Not Disturb” feature that can be automatically set up for evenings.
I think using an app like this could be a real time saver as it allows you to quickly identify your important emails.

Compass Eye: I’m Sailing Away
From
Gizmodo:
An augmented reality app that's actually useful is a rare find. Compass Eye produces a real time compass that's overlaid on top of the iPhones camera view. Sailors can set multiple bearings and switch between magnetic north and true north.
The app is marketed specifically for sailing, but it can be used for hiking, biking, really anything where you need to set a specific bearing. The app's compass works way better than the iOS default compass and I don't have to wave my iPhone in the air every time I launch the app. The app also features a camera zoom.

Make Music Videos on Your iOS Device with Video Star
From
Run Around Tech:
There is a new application available in the app store that allows you to record your very own music videos. This application is called Video Star, the app is centered around the idea that making your own music videos can be easy. The developers of Video Star have made it just that, all you have to do is select a song, record a video in sync with the music, and if you want add video effects on the fly. Another feature that really catches my attention is the integration of YouTube uploading, and sharing via Facebook, Twitter, and email.

Want Custom Sounds for your Email -- Try MailTones
From
iPhoneGlance:
MailTones is an amazing app that gives iPhone and iPad users an alternative to the dull email message tone you hear when you receive a new email. Choose from over 60 different sounds and set them to contacts, subjects and email domains. The great thing about MailTones is that users are able to differentiate between important emails and not so important emails because it lets you set your own tone so you know which one is. Set up a professional subtle tone or one that allows you to hear your new email in noisy place, like whistle, buzzer or horns.

Cloud Support Makes mSecure Outstanding
From
eWeek:
All around, I'm hard-pressed to find anything I don't like about mSecure. For a few hours, I thought I wanted it to validate credit card checksums during record input, but that's as close as I could come to identifying a missing feature. In short, I'm impressed enough with mSecure that I may finally throw away that notebook I've kept for the last 15 years.
