BiomeViewer
BiomeViewer lets you explore and discover Earth’s ecosystems with a tap of your finger! All you have to do is drop a pin to see historic climate data, stunning pictures, wildlife, and more for any terrestrial location on the planet. Discover how patterns of human settlement and agriculture have changed the planet since 1700. The app includes descriptions for every major biome on each continent, biodiversity data for more than 16,000 species of reptiles, amphibians, and mammals, gridded historical climate data for the entire planet, global precipitation and temperature maps, maps of human alteration of ecosystems over the last 300 years, fully interactive globe and flat map versions of all datasets.

Molecules
Molecules is an application for viewing three-dimensional renderings of molecules and m.pulating them using your fingers. You can rotate the molecules by moving your finger across the display, zoom in or out by using two-finger pinch gestures, or pan the molecule by moving two fingers across the screen at once. These structures can be viewed in both ball-and-stick and space filling visualization modes. Files can be stored on your device for later viewing. Also you can download custom molecular structures.
