iLock allows you to set passwords for any app you’d like. This is especially helpful for apps that may contain private data, but you don’t want to password protect the whole device. Recently, the app has been updated to allow you to lock files and folders as well.
iLock is available for $3.99 in the BBCool store or you can check out the 7 day trial.

Mobile Checkbook is a solid app that helps you keep track of your finances by logging expenditures and deposits. The app can schedule regular withdrawals or deposits so it helps automate the process a little. Ideally, the app would plug directly into your bank account and be 100% automated, but it seems we’re a long way from this. Currently, the app is on sale for 50% off, making it $4.99.

The latest theme from Hedone is called Ambos and it comes with a unique banner on the homescreen that features 5 predefined icons and 6 user defined icons.
