Today's Best Apps: Hills Of Glory 3D And JA Build Your Future

September 29, 2013
The App Store takes delivery of hundreds of new apps per day. The overwhelming scene makes it possible to easily overlook an exciting game, valuable productivity suite, etc. However, we have a solution. Today’s Best Apps tackles this problem by providing you with a handpicked and tested list of apps that are truly worth your consideration each and everyday. Remember: Even though in-app purchases typically require your iTunes Store password for processing, you can further prevent them and other unauthorized actions by enabling local restrictions using the passcode locked iOS parental controls

iPhone:

JA Build Your Future™ by Junior Achievement USA (Free, 4.6 MB): This nifty tool for the college bound, or anyone changing careers and perhaps needing extra education, makes it easy to determine whether or not your desired job is financially viable. Each area in the logical four step process contains a good amount of information, of course, all based on averages. When picking a job, you'll be informed of the education level requirement, salary, whether the demand is growing and how much, and even simple comparisons to related positions. Next, it's time to select education specifics, such as in or out of state schooling, whether to utilize on campus living, and degree to determine an estimated cost. Obviously, the final necessary input involves payment options. Most people require a student a student loan, which will be broken down into yearly and monthly expense figures. However, you may also add a scholarship amount, parental assistance, possible job wages, and other reductions towards the full bill. When completed, the final report includes the aforementioned expense breakdown calculations as well as a return on investment rating. Basically, ROI shows if your career choice stands to earn you a profit and about how much versus the cost. Data is from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and PricewaterhouseCoopers, plus reviewed by Junior Achievements with possibly additional sources.

Universal:

Hills of Glory 3D by Chillingo Ltd ($0.99, 93.1 MB): Step into a quirky WW2 depiction and proudly take your post to defend the bunker in this unique twist on the tower defense genre. Rather than strategically place automated weapon towers, you must strike down waves of enemy soldiers by manually launching mortars, dropping napalm canisters, and deploying other large scale devices, plus man the rifle. The stack of standard bullets is endless, although, other ammunition and resources are not. As you progress, that is, succeed, new weapons and other rewards will be granted along with a kind rank promotion. The game features 3-D graphics, edgy instrumental soundtrack, 21 mission campaign and endless survival mode, multi-touch gesture control, as well as Game Center leaderboards and achievements.
