No, we don't get why you'd call a calendar app Fantastical either, but if you can forgive the hyperbolic name, this is a cracking little organiser. The app not only pulls together your various calendars (Google, Exchange and Apple's own), but merges to-do lists and calendar events to give you a clear breakdown of the days ahead. With the iPhone in portrait orientation, Fantastical shows a list of upcoming events, with the option to flick between daily and monthly calendar views; flip the phone into landscape orientation, and you'll find the weekly view, with appointments plotted in the diary. Best of all, however, is the ease with which you can enter appointments using natural language commands. Type 'lunch with Tim at 2pm on Friday' and it's popped straight into your diary. You can even speak the diary entries, provided you've got a data connection.

A halfway house between Snake and Gauntlet, Nimble Quest is another of those 8-bit parodies for the iPhone, but it's a dangerously addictive one. Your task is to guide a 'conga line' of mini-warriors around various stages, attempting to avoid collisions with a variety of harmful critters and making sure you don't run into the walls. Each of your little fighters has different weapons and skills, and it takes some time to work out how to best deploy these against the various foes that cross your path. While the game itself is free, you'll need to pay £1.49 to open the online arena section of the game, which you can only access after completing at least four levels of the game. It aggressively pushes in-app purchases for weapons and warrior upgrades too, so be careful if you're handing this one to the kids.

Launch Center Pro is described as a 'speed dial for anything you do with your iPhone', which might be pushing it a touch. Instead, it's a handy shortcut creator for various tasks, such as adding the last photo taken with your phone's camera to Facebook, or sending a text message to a particular contact. Its greatest strength is that it's not only capable of working with the default iPhone apps, but a decent range of third-party apps too, so you can create a one-click button to call a certain contact in Skype, for instance, or search Spotify for a particular artist. It's one of those apps that you'll quickly find indispensable.
