1. CamFind
How would you like to walk up to any object at all - no matter how foreign or unusual - snap a picture of it, and have your phone tell you what that object is? Well, there's now an app for iOS and Android that lets you do that, and it's called CamFind.
When I first heard about CamFind, I have to admit that I was incredulous. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is established and tested technology, available throughout countless apps on iTunes or Google Play, but object recognition technology is a whole different story.
2. Shazam (free; all smartphones): This app recognizes recorded songs-popular or not. You're sitting in some restaurant, bar, office or elevator; you let the app listen to the music for a few seconds and marvel as it tells you the song title, singer, album and so on. With another couple of taps, you're buying the song on iTunes or watching the music video on YouTube.
3. SoundHound (free; iOS and Android): This one is just like Shazam, but with one delicious added feature: you can also hum or sing into it. This is the app to use when something's running through your head and you wish you could remember the name of the song. Uncanny.
4. Bird Song ID (£3, about $4.60; iOS): It's Shazam for birdsong. Record a bird's warble-the cleaner the recording, the better the luck you'll have-and let the app tell you what species you're hearing. No Internet connection required for this task.
Leafsnap (free; iOS): Take a photo of a leaf (against a white background) and let the app's visual-recognition feature identify the plant it came from. An ingenious field guide, although it requires an Internet connection to perform its magic.
LookTel ($10; Mac, iOS): This company makes a pair of apps ($10 each) for people with vision impairments. Hold your phone over a bill-dollar, pound, euro, doesn't matter-and the app speaks: "20 dollars," for example. There's also LookTel Recognizer, which can identify and speak the name of precisely the kinds of things a blind person might have trouble differentiating: cans of food or soda, packages of food, money, videos and so on. The catch is that you first have to train it. You have to take a picture of each item and speak its name in your own voice: "Sprite Zero," for example, presumably with the help of a sighted person. Thereafter, the app briskly and confidently speaks the name of each item it's learned when the phone's camera sees it.

Imovie
Considered a benchmark release on iOS, and impressively similar to the Mac desktop version, iMovie should be on every iOS device. The app makes it ridiculously easy to splice together shot footage, but there's a lot more to it than that.
You can also use it to add titles, music, voiceovers and photos to your work of art - and if you want to cheese it up, take your pick from a bunch of TV-style templates and movie trailer themes. With recent Apple kit, it'll even deal with 4K.
Power Director
Android often ends up second-best when it comes to creative fare, but that's not the case with video. PowerDirector in many ways echoes iMovie, providing a user-friendly but powerful editor.
Clips can quickly be arranged and trimmed, titles can be added, and you get a decent set of transitions to experiment with. Pay the one-off IAP (£2.99) to rid your movies of watermarks and export at up to 4K.
Luma Fusion
While iMovie is great at what it does, it's geared towards casual use. If you want to take things to the next level, try LumaFusion.
Designed for efficiency, and aimed at mobile journalists and filmmakers, the app includes multi-track editing with realtime preview, superb (and occasionally bonkers) animation, effects and transitions, and a powerful titler.
It's the closest you'll get to desktop-style video-editing app on your iPad or iPhone.
