I downloaded a several apps over the last few hours, one shortly before they announced the goal. With a lot of luck I may be the winner.

SonicScan, a decibel meter

Latin Dictionary. Not bad. However, it does not do English to Latin, I should have opted for a more expensive one that does that.

Hot Clock which is an alarm clock that features women’s voices to wake you up, it also has photos of some scantily clad young women.
