Check out some apps released by fellow raywenderlich.com readers in August, including games that will test your reflexes, and much more! By Ryan Poolos.
Movie Gear
Movie Gear is your one stop shop for all things movies. You can watch trailers, browse actors, see still photos, track a must-see list, and more.
Movie Gear opens to movies trending, in theaters, and upcoming. It pulls all its data from IMDB for ratings and descriptions. You can easily find related movies from the same company.
Movie Gear also imports Trakt.tv user reviews for every movie making it quick and easy to see if the movie you want to see has the right amount of buzz.

Musicality
Musicality is an extension to iTunes to make sure you never miss new music from your favorite artists.
Musicality scans your iTunes library to build a database of artists you like. Then it searches iTunes for new music from your favorite artists.
Musicality also has its own top charts to explore. You can also find new music by genre. While you explore, add new artists you like to your database.
Tap and hold on any album to share it on Facebook and Twitter. Enable notifications and you’ll be notified when new albums you care about are released. Buy them on iTunes right from Musicality!
