URL Helper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Entering URLs isn't really fun. Most of the time only the domain name varies while the rest consists of standard parts with a lot of special characters which are error prone to enter. This application makes it easy and fast to enter even complex URLs correctly, especially for non HTTP protocols. It has separate fields for the protocol, subdomain, domain, top level domain, port, path and fragment part (#) of a URL.

Take a new photo or pick a photo from your photo library and then count objects on it by tapping them. Save screenshots and/or share them via email or social networks. Use the Line tool when you need to mark a sequence of objects with equal distances between them (note: this doesn't work well with object viewed in perspective). Use the Multiplication tool to count objects positioned in 'rows' and 'columns'.
