moviefone app

We've put together a list of the best iPhone and iPad apps you missed during your egg-frying-ly hot work week.

We have some incredible apps for listening to and making music, the best movies app for your iPad, the most high-tech baby monitor app we've seen, plus much more.

Evoz Baby Monitor lets you keep a close ear to your child

Evoz's new Baby Monitor app is amazing. If you have an Evoz Wi-Fi enabled baby monitor, all you do is put it in your baby's room, and listen to him or her from anywhere in the world using the app.

One reviewer said, "This is the future of parenting. Baby started crying and I got a text. I really didn't think it would work. So sweet!"

Price: free

Sktch for iPad is an innovative art-making app

Sktch helps you craft unique geometric masterpieces on your iPad.

Choose from 16 presets to get started, then map out abstract shapes, lines, and planes in 2D or 3D. Some of the presets even let you use multitouch to make designs.

Price: $1.99

Thrutu adds a new dimension to making phone calls

We checked out Thrutu earlier this week, a cool app that lets you send pictures, money, a "prod," or your location while you're on a phone call.

A useful way to use Thrutu is to help you find someone in a big public place. You can see someone's GPS coordinates on a map, as you talk to them.

Price: free

Google+ is great on Android

If you have a Google+ account and an Android phone, you really should check out the wonderful Android app. You can interact with your circles, share links, and even set your mobile photos to automatically upload. You also get Huddle, Google's group messaging app.

And don't forget to check out our full tour of Google+!

Here Are The Best iPhone And iPad Apps You Missed This Week (AAPL)

songkick app

We found all the best apps you may've missed this week during your busy workdays.

We have an app to prevent embarrassing auto-correct mistakes, an app to turn your iPhone into a nostalgic kaleidoscope, and even an app to help keep track of all the little receipts you keep losing.

Also, we have a clever app to remind you when bands you love come to town, the coolest investing app we've seen in a while, and an app to give Craigslist a retro facelift.

Click below to check out all the best iPhone and iPad apps you may've missed this week.

This app stops "iPhone auto-correct fails" in their tracks

We're not quite sure how this one got by Apple, but it did. And it works.

AutoCorrector will modify the un-editable onboard dictionary on your iPhone or iPad. If there are shorthand phrases or words you use frequently that always get changed by your device, this app's for you.

Enter in a word you want your device to stop correcting, and tap "Add to Vocabulary."

Price: $0.99

Want is an innovative new social network built around what people want

Want works a lot like fan favorite picture-sharer Instagram, except you share images of things that are on your wishlist. We checked out Want earlier this week, and think it could be big.

It's a fun way to share cool stuff you see at the mall or at the Apple Store. You follow others' wants, and a news feed gets generated filled with cool stuff your friends want. It's actually a lot of fun, especially when someone "also wants" something you've wanted.

Plus, you can share your wants on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Foursquare.

Price: free

The Financial Times just killed its iPad app and made a universal HTML 5 app

The Financial Times just made a gorgeous HTML 5 app for your iPad and iPhone. It's faster and even has offline reading.

So, HTML 5 is a brand new way to interact with content on a normal website. Essentially, you'll use the app through Mobile Safari, except it'll feel just like an app that finds its home on your iPad.

Bookmark the site to your home screen, and it'll feel just like a real app, except it never needs an update!

Price: free - visit THIS LINK(app.ft.com) from your iPad to check it out
