Why should achieving your goals be boring and lame? iAchievement turns it into a game! When creating a new goal you’re able to title it, attach notes, categorize it, and define your units.

Universal:
Words With Monsters utilizes the same tried and true word game formula found in Scrabble, but adds role-playing game elements to provide a wholly unique experience. When you create valid words from your letters and submit them, instead of adding to your total score, those points are actually used as hit points that are applied to your enemy’s health. You must try to create the best possible words and place them on letter multipliers to remove your opponent’s health before they do the same to you.
Words With Monsters is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 100 ratings.
This may be the most interactive Toca Boca title yet, and that’s saying something. Your child can put their fingers to the screen to build up mountains, carve out lakes, chop down trees, or plant a new forest. They’re also able to collect berries, nuts, and mushrooms in order to feed the wildlife. Anything goes in the world of Toca Nature. If your child sees something unexpected that they want to share, they can snap a photo using the built-in camera.
Toca Nature is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 273 ratings.
YoWindow is all about watching the weather. You’re presented with a quick look at the current time, temperature, and conditions. Slide your finger from left to right across the screen to scroll time forward and watch as the scene changes to reflect what it’ll be like later on in the day. YoWindow also includes a seven-day forecast and six scenes to choose from.
YoWindow Weather is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 426 ratings.
