Discovr is a highly robust, elegant app for discovering new music on your iOS device. I remember using Discovr when I first got my iPhone 4S. I was floored by the app’s ‘Music Map’ feature and the way it ran on iOS 5 with its neat animations. With Discovr’s recent iOS 7 update, the app has added some useful new features and services, while retaining the amazing music map discovery it was initially known for.

TFA is a Universal iOS app and is without a doubt one of the most comprehensive ways to consume news, results, statistics, etc from the world of football. Version 6.0 of TFA has been redone for iOS 7 and looks pixel perfect…
The App Store is filled with several expense trackers, budgeting managers and finance suites and we’ve written about many of them here on Beautiful Pixels. Preshit recently introduced me to Funds, a simple budget calculator with some unique features of its own.
