Today's Best Apps: Proxxi And Numtris

December 31, 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:

Proxxi by Proxxi LLC (Free, 3.6 MB): This location-based social network offers an easy, fun, and anonymous way to discover and share things within a community. Submissions can be fliers, such as a garage sale or help requested on a lost pet, or brief discussions asking for information, e.g., how long is the speed slide line when at the water park? Despite the different focus, places versus people, posting is as simple and quick as any other network, most notably Twitter. You have a space for up to 300 characters, as well as an opportunity to add a photo, associate using hashtags, and even designate a time of visibility in hours, default being 72. In addition, responses may be public via a comments section for each post or through an unidentifiable email system. Entries can be browsed by ascending distance or age without any registration, however, posting your own content requires a free account. Exact location sharing is available, although, disabled by default and only recommended when necessary.

Universal:

Numtris by Ivanovich Games (Free, 32.5 MB): Exercise your mind through a casually entertaining time with this Letris-style number matching game. Rather than creating words with the fallen blocks, you must strategically combine and pair numbers. For example, drag together a 2 and 1 labeled square to produce a 3, then combine that 3 with two other 3 numbered blocks to eliminate. Even though it's a seemingly simple task, plenty of challenge awaits as higher numbers become available, stages get skinnier, rock block barriers form, and so forth. The game features 2-D graphics, calm and charming soundtrack, solo campaign with nearly 300 levels, tabletop-type two player, plus online tournaments and Game Center leaderboards.
