The moment you launch Converter Pro you’ll see why it’s so fast and easy to use. Every single available conversion category is laid out in alphabetical order along with the number of units contained within. You can simply browse through the list to pick a category, or you can go through the list to identify those you’ll use the most and mark them as favorites. When converting a unit, you’ll see every single other unit in the chosen category get updated in real-time. Units within a category can be reordered and marked as favorites as well. The app also includes eight themes to choose from.
Converter Pro – Units & Currency Converter & Calculator is available for free for a limited time. It has a 5-star rating with a total of 5 ratings.
Max the monster’s friend Dextra has been kidnapped by an evil wizard. Your child must help him explore new worlds, battle enemies, and find allies in order to get her back by solving math problems. The app’s intelligent math trainer system automatically adjusts the difficulty depending on your child’s ability, and the disembodied voice will ensure they’re always aware of the task at hand. The game also includes a multiplayer mode, a practice mode, and the ability to create multiple user profiles.
Monster Math – Help Your Kids Mental Mathematic Skills – Fun Maths Game for Kids Grades 2-5 is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 29 ratings.
The game focuses on 10 of the world’s most popular sports. Your child gets to pick a character that best represents them. They can then participate in a variety of quiz and matching games that are all related to sports and their outfits. Mini-games are also peppered in, allowing your child to actually play each sport. Swapsies Sports includes a total of six customizable characters.
Swapsies Sports is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 80 ratings.
Unlike similar apps, xSky really focuses on the view. The interface is clutter-free, sporting only three small icons: search, lock, and settings. You’re able to look around the sky just by holding your iDevice up and rotating. When something catches your eye, lock the screen and pinch to zoom in close. You can also search for objects in the sky and have xSky point them out.
xSky is available for free for a limited time. It has a 5-star rating with a total of 12 ratings.
Orbitum requires good reflexes and a trained eye. Your little white circle will go spinning round and round an orbit. To leap to a new orbit, just tap the screen. You must avoid getting pulled in to the darkness in the middle of the screen while avoiding the outside orbit and all of the red triangles. Complicating matters, you’ll also want to collect the green hexagons for additional points and the blue squares to earn power-ups. One wrong move and the game is over.
Orbitum is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 31 ratings.
