Brickit: Rebuild your Lego
Do you always have Lego everywhere and no idea what you can build with it? Then install the app brickit. Place your Lego on a neutral surface and take a photo with the app. Brickit then scans all the bricks within a few seconds and then gives you suggestions to build with the bricks you have. How many ideas are displayed depends on what kind of pebbles are photographed. The app gives you a building manual and can even indicate where in the pile is a specific stone.

Coffee Book
The true home barista must of course keep track of how many grams of beans per serving are needed for the perfect latte, espresso or flat white. The iOS app Coffee Book helps you with this. You create a so-called ‘new brew’ and tell the app whether it is an espresso, French press or filter coffee, for example. You can then write down all kinds of things that are necessary to make the best coffee: the brand of beans, the grind size, the lead time and how satisfied you are with the end result. The app is completely free and is a great help for coffee aficionados.

Voila AI Artist
The latest selfie trend is turning yourself into an animated character. With the app Voila (also for android) this is a piece of cake. When you start the app, you can choose from a number of styles; turn yourself into a caricature, a Disney character or a 3D cartoon. The result is astonishingly good, best use your selfies with as little background distraction as possible. If you import a photo with two faces, the app will ask which face you want to edit. The app is free to use, but you do have occasional (long) commercials and the exported photo has a watermark.

Carrot Weather
Again, but just a little differently. the app Carrot Weather shows you the weather forecast and provides it with funny commentary. It immediately reads a short text to you, if you have enabled this in the settings. You can choose the personality of the app yourself; it ranges from friendly to sarcastic to downright insulting, including swearing by the reading voice. You can even indicate your political preference, although this is aimed at the United States. The voice is also only available in English.

Phi Metronome
If you want to practice with your instrument, a metronome can be very practical. the app Phi Metronome is useful if you don’t just play top 40 music; you can choose a huge number of time signatures with this. Set the tempo with the plus or minus buttons or tap a button with your fingers to manually set the tempo. The app does not have a lot of functionality, but looks well-organized and only occasionally has a non-obtrusive advertisement at the bottom.
