Clear
Clear is a gesture based task app that lets you tap, swish, and flick your way to being more productive than ever. I've always liked Clear's gesture based interface but found it somewhat cramped for my liking on the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus on the other hand have brought a new appreciation to gesture based tasks. Not only does Clear look great, it's super simple to use and much more powerful than the stock Reminders app.
