1.		Memorize IDi	90
		$3.99: iPad
		Memorize-IDi is an app based on the development of what has possibly been the most efficient system for memorizing numbers of all times. Created in 1644 by the French mathematician and astronomer Pierre Hérigone, the method named after him is still one of the most used systems by the great memorization prodigies to compete in world championships. Using the Hérigone method, this app will help turn any user into a number memorization prodigy. Check out a quote from The iPhone App Review: "Memorize iDi takes its time indoctrinating users with this really cool, and extremely practical, memorization tool. It’s also an international affair, with support in English, French and Spanish. I think this app could be handy for students trying to remember dates, or folks who find themselves needing easy ways to recall long numbers with ease for work or competition." (May 14, 2012)

2.		Pocket Poet	75
		FREE: iPhone, iPad, iPod
		Pocket Poet helps you create customized poems. Put in some traits, answer some questions, and the app creates a poem and sends it from you! Check out a quote from 148Apps: "Appearance wise, Pocket Poet is pretty simple to look at which lacks a touch of class it deserves. While it’s pretty situational, there’s nothing else like it out there. For that reason, it should be applauded." (May 1, 2012)
