"From ambient audio-sharing apps to free, unlimited storage for all your mobile photos, we covered a lot of ground with new iOS apps in June. So by way of a quick recap and, of course, to help you filter through the debris, here\u2019s our pick of the newbies from the past month.\r\nOverHeard\r\nOverHeard is a fiendishly simple sound-sharing app that wants to do for audio what Vine did for video.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-P_NG_nupw\r\n\r\nIt ambiently records and preserves up to three minutes of sound wherever you are, then starts again, deleting the previous audio segment in the process. The upshot? You always have (up to) three minutes of audio recorded which means you never miss that impromptu wise-crack, offensive comment or anything else. However, OverHeard wants to be a social network too, which may be a step too far.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 OverHeard\r\nShutter\r\nStreamNation launched a new standalone companion camera app for iPhone this month called Shutter, delivering infinite, unlimited media storage through automatically storing photos and videos on StreamNation\u2019s cloud-based servers. The real kicker that's worth stressing here is that it's completely free, and will remain genuinely unlimited for everyone.\r\n\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \r\nShutter lets you take photos and videos directly within the app, and doesn\u2019t store it to the camera roll on your device, so this is entirely cloud-based, though it can make up to 500 photos available offline if you wish.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Shutter\r\nWhyd\r\nWhyd is a social, community-based online bookmarking platform that lets you save all your favorite tunes from across the Web, including YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo and Deezer, while chatting with other Whyd users about your shared taste in music.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith many music-streaming platforms serving as siloed vaults of social activity, Whyd wants to open things up to create a cross-platform, social music service for everyone.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Whyd\r\nPath Talk\r\nPath followed in the footsteps of Facebook this month by launching a new standalone messaging app called Path Talk.\r\n\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \r\nAs with other similar messaging apps, Path Talk wants to replace SMS (and, as before, Facebook), letting you converse with friends, family, and groups, with messages that are automatically erased from Path\u2019s servers within 24 hours. Sound familiar? But it does have some nice features \u2013 for example, \u2018Ambient Status\u2019 automatically tells your friends whether you\u2019re in transit, nearby, or even low on battery.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Path Talk\r\nOverswipe\r\nOverswipe lets you give your iPhone to your friends to show them all those cool and hilarious photos you've snapped. Except, YOU now control which photos they see, hiding all those embarrassing ones you'd rather keep hidden away.\r\n\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \r\nOverswipe isn\u2019t going to change the world. But it\u2019s a pretty simple idea that fixes a problem many people have, creating an instant, siloed photo album that\u2019s separate from the rest of your images.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Overswipe\r\nBillGuard [US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand]\r\nBillGuard isn\u2019t a new app, but June saw the service finally roll out of North America and truly into international waters, starting with the UK, Australia and New Zealand. More countries are expected to be added in the future.\r\n\r\nIt calls itself a \u2018people-powered antivirus system for bills\u2019. Predictive algorithms alert you when there\u2019s unexpected charges such as hidden fees, billing errors, scams and fraud on your credit card or debit card. It also delivers warnings when a similar dubious charge has been flagged by other users.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 BillGuard\r\nGinger Page\r\nGinger Software specializes in \u2018language enhancement\u2019 tools to make it easier to write English correctly \u2013 native-speakers and learners alike.\r\n\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \r\nThe Ginger Page app goes beyond in-line spell-checking\u00A0to give you tools that instantly rephrase certain words and gives contextual synonyms, translations or definitions \u2013 all of which can be very useful, regardless of your first language.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Ginger Page\r\nCinamatic (Hipstamatic)\r\nBack in May, the creators of Hipstamatic launched\u00A0Cinamatic, a new iPhone video-editing app that was perhaps more than a little bit inspired by the 'tap-and-hold' recording recording functionality of Vine. It lets you record square-format skits of between 3 and 15 seconds in length.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs of this month, Cinamatic now supports iPad natively too, something that Vine or Instagram are yet to do.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Cinamatic\r\nYo\r\nYou might say that the less uttered about Yo, the better. But for whatever reason, Yo really hit a nerve with the public this month due to its sheer simplicity (read: lack of features), coupled with the fact that it\u2019s VC-backed. So it\u2019s worth a mention again here.\r\n\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \r\nYo is a single-button, \u201Czero-character communication tool.\u201D Rather than saying \u2018Good Morning\u2019 to your buddies, you simply \u2018Yo\u2019 them. That\u2019s all you can really do with it.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Yo\r\nBroken Age\r\nOwn an iPad? Love classic point-and-click adventure games? You'll love Broken Age.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuCErygUS_g\r\n\r\nThe game was originally pitched on Kickstarter, before going on to smash all kinds of records with more than $3 million in pledges.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Broken Age\r\nAmazon Music with Prime Music [US only]\r\nAmazon\u2019s first music-streaming service, Prime Music, went live this month, which resulted in its existing Amazon Cloud Player app being rebranded as Amazon Music and updated with streaming capabilities.\r\n\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0 \r\nThe bundling of free music-streaming for Prime subscribers remains US-only for now.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Amazon Music\r\nContact Box\r\nBeing able to easily share multiple contact details with groups or individuals can be useful, which is why Contact Box could prove popular.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqE3Vt1tXB8\r\n\r\nIn a nutshell, Contact Box allows users to create and organize contacts into easily shareable lists \u2013 which can be sent via email or SMS message.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Contact Box\r\nSlingshot [Facebook]\r\nFollowing a whoopsy of a false start, Facebook (you may have heard of it) launched a new standalone messaging app called Slingshot this month, kicking off initially in the US only, before being  introduced globally too.\r\n\r\nframeborder=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nJumping on the ephemeral bandwagon, Facebook wants to remain relevant to the younger generations. The gist: in order to see a photo or video sent to you by a friend, you have to reply with a photo or video.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Slingshot\r\nBeamIt\r\nYou may have heard of Cooliris before, a service that reels in photos from multiple platforms and puts them in a single place for your convenience. Well, June saw the company branch out into the messaging-app space with BeamIt.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe launch follows in the footsteps of the main Cooliris app, which has also been placing more emphasis on messaging features. Essentially, BeamIt revolves around photos instead of text, and is nicely designed.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 BeamIt\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re on the hunt for more iOS apps, check out some of the best ones from May, or put your feet up and peruse our pick of the bunch from the whole of 2013.
