Apps rush: Summify, Coldplay Piano Songbook, Auto Trader and more

A burst of 16 apps for your consideration Summify Summify is a very slick-looking iPhone app that pulls down news stories from Twitter, Facebook and Google Reader, then pings you with the 5-10 most relevant ones via push notification. Social features include the ability to look at other users' summaries. iPhone Coldplay Piano Songbook Musicroom's latest iPad songbook focuses on Coldplay, offering piano sheet music for 15 of the band's songs, complete with backing tracks to play along to. It joins existing apps made by the company for Adele and Bob Dylan. iPad Auto Trader for iPad Used car service Auto Trader has a new native iPad app, with a visual-heavy interface and the ability to slice, dice and sort results however the user likes. Disclosure: Guardian Media Group is the co-owner of Auto Trader. iPad SwiftKey X Beta If you're an Android user who's not an evangelist for Swype, SwiftKey's new app might float your typing boat. It builds on the existing SwiftKey keyboard with features including more personalisation, a better prediction engine and smoother user interface. Android Southbank Centre London's Southbank Centre now has its own iPhone app, including a guide to events, an audio tour of the site, images of the Centre in 1951, and special offers for food and drink around the complex. iPhone CoPilot Live Premium Navigation app CoPilot Live has been revamped and relaunched for iPhone, iPad and Android. New features include alternate route options for journeys, a new user interface, social features and live traffic data. iPhone / iPad / Android Walk Magazine Ramblers? There's an app for them, on iPhone, iPad and Android. It's based on the walking charity's Walk Magazine, with a mix of features, reviews and route cards. iPhone / iPad / Android Tivo Mobile It doesn't appear to be official, but Tivo Mobile is an Android app that claims to let people plan and set recordings from their smartphone, with the developer saying it's "100% compatible with all Virgin Media UK TiVo boxes". Android UNICEF Photography Global charity UNICEF's new iPhone app is designed to showcase its work on children's health, development, education and protection, using location-tagged photographs. iPhone Property Week+ UBM's new iPad app for Property Week magazine offers a blend of articles, data and analysis with extra video and audio content, tagged as a special edition. iPad Bonus Apps This isn't relevant for UK users, but mobile industry readers will be interested to see T-Mobile USA's new Android app, which focuses on its own apps and services around navigation, TV, games, music and others. Android The Warhol: D.I.Y. POP This app comes from the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, relating to its Andy Warhol Museum. The idea: users can create their own Warhol-esque digital silkscreen print using the photos on their iPhone or iPad. Around that, there is information on the museum and on Warhol's art. iPhone / iPad Smart Places Checkin UK-developed Smart Places promises a smarter approach to the Facebook Places social location service. The idea: users draw zones on a map where they want to automatically check in, and then let their phone handle it for them. There are also notifications of nearby check-ins from friends. Android Pampers Hello World Baby Memories Nappy-brand Pampers has a new iOS app designed around taking photos of the big baby moments, with video tied in too, and sharing features. iPhone / iPad Prismatic Prismatic is a location-based photo sharing app for Android, with features designed to help people find images from other users who aren't necessarily their friends already. Android Peexter Peexter is an interesting idea: an iPhone app (with Android coming soon) that builds social features around real-world shopping. The question is whether it will pick up enough users quickly to build critical mass. iPhone You can follow Guardian Apps Blog's Apps rush on delicious To suggest links, tag articles on delicious.com with "guardianappsblog"
