CHILLIN’ CHAMPS
Phones are great for beaming telly into your eyes… but we’ve also thrown in some podcasters and other time-killers
OILIST
It might not be fun watching paint dry, but gawping at a living canvas as it interprets one of your favourite snaps is another matter. Load a pic, choose a style, and Oilist will art it up. Prefer to get your hands dirty? Controls let you fiddle with the current virtual artist, adjusting strokes, shifting styles, or adding ‘chaos’. £2.99 / iOS
INFUSE
If you’ve amassed a gigantic collection of video files, they won’t all fit on your iPhone. Fortunately, Infuse streams pretty much any format from just about anywhere. The interface is swish, it downloads cover art and show details, and you can add subtitles if a show’s lead mumbles every line in the name of ‘gritty realism’. from £free / iOS
WILSON FM
With so many podcasts awaiting your ears, it’s tough to know where to begin. And if you do find some shows you really like, you can get stuck in a rut. Wilson FM beats such problems by reframing the podcast player as curated magazine, each weekly issue giving you great ’casts based around a central theme. £free / iOS
