Today's Best Apps: iFireplace Of Love And Number: Unjumble
iFireplace Of Love by Blue Crystal Web Design (Free, 74.2 MB): Inexpensively enhance your decor and the mood with this virtual fireplace. Simple but effective, the app includes three scene and two audio effect choices, one sound being a subtle snapping and popping while the other a far more dominant sizzle and crackle. As a bonus, the app provides basic access to your iPod library for quickly creating a music playlist, if desired. Native AirPlay support is claimed to be "coming soon," though iOS-powered mirroring does function.
Number: Unjumble by goatsandtigers.com (Free, 211.2 KB): This mathematics-based puzzler provides a great source of stimulating entertaining for the brainiac in you. The goal of each problem is to construct an equation using only a specific set of numbers, those lined up near mid-screen, that will result in the final value posted at the top. As an additional restriction, you must employ all of the given numbers, whether seemingly extra or not, but may utilize any amount of operators. The game features minimalistic 2-D graphics, six difficulty levels, randomly generated multi-round casual tests with follow-up statistics plus a time-based Daily Challenge and leaderboard. Access to the top four difficulties in casual mode requires upgrading to the Deluxe Edition for $1.99.
