ETA - view driving times in current traffic to your favourite locations by Eastwood ($1.99, 1.5 MB): If time is of the essence, then this travel duration estimator will bring you much happiness. Even if we know the path to our desired destinations, the time required to reach the location isn't always a certainty for many reasons. Currently, your solution may be to check traffic reports for alerts regarding these causes, such as accidents, or use a turn-by-turn navigation app to calculate the current estimated travel time. Unfortunately, that task can be tedious as it involves reentering addresses, tapping buttons to start the route determination process, etc. In contrast, once populated, ETA provides the estimated time of arrival for work, friends' homes, gym, pharmacy, favorite coffee shop, and other frequented places without a single extra action beyond launching the app. Additionally, there are headings (compass) for each location, an option to summarize in sentence-style, and the ability to switch from estimated driving to walking time or vice-versa in a single swipe. Requesting directions transfers you to Apple's Maps or, optionally, Waze Social GPS or Google Maps.

Sky Cups by Fox3D Games ($2.99, 56.9 MB): This adorable and fast-paced Zuma-inspired puzzler smashes the mold with its unique drop 'til you stop gameplay. Before you stands a stack of cups, which oddly has a mini-hippo sitting at the tippy-top. Rescue the purple pet before it's too late by taking down the tower one step at a time. Just drag from the left or right to swiftly slide one of the extra cups between. Where you swipe determines the target position while the direction selects the offered cup. Every identically colored group with three or more will cause a small collapse, although, strategic construction can create a beneficial cascade. The game features cartoony 3-D graphics, charming music and sound effects, more than 160 stages spanning eight worlds, 50 fun and helpful purchasable power plates, several extra special attribute cups, second character, time-based tri-star rating system, achievements, as well as Facebook integration for score sharing.
