Angry Bunga [Android]
If you’ve been following Italian politics over the last few months, then you’ll know it’s been consumed with more scandals than a decade’s worth of prime-time soap operas. Which is amusing, if Silvio Berlusconi doesn’t happen to be running your country. Of all the seedy details to emerge, the phrase “bunga bunga” has been one that has etched itself onto the minds and funny bones of those who’ve followed the unfolding drama. So thank Pan for Angry Bunga, an Angry Birds version of Silvio Berlusconi’s tumultuous private life.

Textify.it [iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad]
A visually impressive photography app that turns your photos into collections of letters, namely A, B and C. You can then play around with different variables to create a customized image, changing the typeface, the boldness, the size, and the quantity of letters until your image has become an abstracted portrait. But if letters aren’t your thing, you can reformat your images using a number of other styles like Pointillism, bubbles, pixels, mosaic, whatever suits your mood. You can try the web version to get a feel for it here.

Dubset—DJ Defined Radio [iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad]
Dubset is an online radio station that’s defined by the DJs that make the mixes. Rather than tearing your hair out with the sheer guilt of listening to music that you haven’t paid for, you can rest easy knowing that this site is completely legit. It’s basically a free library of mixes updated by DJs and when you listen to a mix the artists featured in it get compensated. You can find new material by searching through DJ profiles, venues, and genres. So if you were out living the dream at some club Friday night, you can relive it on the way to work Monday morning with this app.

Super 8™[iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad]
Sure, i’s an app accompanying this summer’s surefire blockbuster film, so it’s obviously promotional, but still. As you would expect, it lets you recreate the effects of a Super 8 camera, tapping into the current passion for retro camera effects. You can overlay different filters, like light leaks or scratch-and-dirt, and even add frame-shake so you can really live in the festishized analog past. Meaning you can take to the woods and start shooting your own Evil Dead trilogy.
