Today’s apps gone free: 5K Runner, Nonagon, Sago Mini Friends and more
iPhone:
Apple’s extensions in iOS 8 can come in handy, especially when they come in the form of aNote. Whenever you need to point out something on a website or within a photo, simply tap the share button within Safari or Photos and activate the aNote extension. You can then annotate the shot by drawing all over it with a variety of colors, adding shapes, or adding text. Your annotated shots can be saved or shared. It’s remarkably simple, but if you’ve never used an extension within iOS 8 before, aNote comes with a quick set of instructions to help you out.

Nonagon will put your math skills to good use. It offers four different modes: Normal, Timer, Negation, and Impossible. In all four modes the goal is generally the same: hit the target number within nine turns. You’re able to accomplish this seemingly simple task by punching numbers on the pad and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them. You’re limited to the numbers on the pad, so there is quite a bit of strategy involved, especially since you can’t undo entries.

Sago Mini Friends is oozing with cuteness. Your child first gets to choose the character they want to represent them, and then they can take a walk down the street and enter a character’s home with a tap. While on their playdates your child will be able to perform all kinds of activities like water plants, play dress-up, enjoy a snack, and fix a birdhouse. The interactive activities are fun and relatable, allowing your child to make up their own story as they go.
