A selection of 13 apps for you today:
Absolute 80s Remixer
Absolute Radio wants to get its listeners remixing a bunch of classic 1980s songs with its new iPhone app. Produced with Bounce Mobile using the latter's Fireplayer platform, it includes tracks from ABC, Katrina & The Waves, Dead Or Alive, Howard Jones and Wang Chung. Oh, and a specially re-recorded version of 19 by Paul Hardcastle. Controls enable people to monkey about with the songs as they play, then share the results on Facebook.
iPhone
Opinionaided
Questions and answers app Opinionaided has been ported from iPhone to Android, enabling people to ask for advice on the go. That's anything from posting a picture of clothes when trying them on to see if they fit well, through to romance advice, sporting debates and "Pink shirts for guys, in or out?".
Android
Batman Arkham City Official Map App
Dorling Kindersley is capitalising on the release of the new Batman Arkham City console game with an officially-licensed map app for iOS. It claims to be "the perfect digital companion" for the game, with scrollable, zoomable maps and locations for all the collectible items.
iPhone / iPad
The Pale: I Woke Up And I Was Gone
Irish band The Pale have made an iPhone app that's much more interesting than the standard promotional apps that many artists have released. It's a "musical walking tour" of Dublin, linking the 12 songs on the band's new album with specific places around the city. "Every location features a unique live performance by the band in that location, as well as insights, interviews and reviews of the places they visit," explains its listing, promising around three hours of tour.
iPhone
DK Pregnancy Day by Day App
Another Dorling Kindersley app, this is aimed at pregnant women, showing them what's happening to their body and baby every day during their pregnancy. That includes photos, 3D scans and interactive illustrations: more than 1,000 pages of content and 750 images in all. Dads and birthing partner checklists are also included.
iPhone
Skinvaders
Augmented reality company Total Immersion is showing off its new AR platform with a game, Skinvaders. Point your camera at someone's face, then fend off a bunch of virtual aliens who appear to be lurking inside that person's brain.
iPhone / iPad
RaOne
RaOne is a big deal in India and beyond: it's apparently one of the biggest Bollywood films of 2011. It also has an arcade game out on iOS, based on the movie's hero who can "solidify electricity and use it to bring down any form of enemy". Which is nice.
iPhone / iPad
Avoid Elite
Originally released in the Xbox Live Indie Games store, Avoid has made the leap to Android, in a version optimised for Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play. It sees you dodging blocks while collecting power-ups.
Android
Bubble Bash 2
Gameloft's fun Puzzle Bobble clone has been released as a free download on BlackBerry, as part of RIM's apology to people for its recent service outage.
BlackBerry
Liveshout
Liveshout is the latest app designed to help people record and share audio clips wherever they are.

Barcelona En Gòtic
Barcelona Media has launched this polished iPad app offering a 3D tour around Barcelona's gothic and neo-gothic buildings. It's part of a wider initiative to use the technology of games to explore the city.
iPad
Moby
Android app Moby is the latest app looking to help people share their location privately with friends and family. It includes controls to ensure locations are only shared with specific contacts, although for now it's only in the US and Canada. The app is already available on iPhone and BlackBerry.
Android
UFC Sports Bars
This app is only useful in the US and Canada, but it's an interesting move for brawling sports body Ultumate Fighting Championship. The app is all about finding sports bars showing UFC matches. You can imagine a similar idea working for Sky in the UK for football.
