Today’s Apps Gone Free: Pull My Tongue, Solve, Smoosh and More
Universal:
Three of the four modes challenge you to solve problems as quickly and accurately as possible. The Pick ‘Em mode allows you to choose the tables you want to practice and solve problems without a time limit. The app includes multiple levels of difficulty, support for multiple profiles, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
MultiFlow: Times Tables Reimagined – Practice Multiplication is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 162 ratings.
Solve is not only the best graphing calculator around, it’s also the best overall calculator thanks to its unique colorful interface. The colors aren’t there just to pretty things up. They also serve as separate calculators that can interact with each other. For example, if you store an answer within one calculator, you can swipe across the color bar to recall and use it in another calculator. Whenever you have an equation with variables that can be plotted a “Touch to Plot” button will appear, allowing you to quickly turn it into a graph. The app is loaded with other great features, and thankfully in-depth tutorials are available to help you take full advantage of all of them.
Solve – A colorful graphing calculator is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3-star rating with a total of 929 ratings.
Smoosh takes classic sliding puzzle game mechanics and adds a colorful twist. Like similar games in the genre, your job is to get colorful Blops to their matching holes by swiping in the direction you want them to go.
Each level has a target number of moves, and your Blop won’t stop until it either hits the hole or a wall. What makes Smoosh unique is its color mixing mechanics. You’ll have to smash Blops together to mix new colors, and you’re able to utilize blocks and tubes to do it. The game includes six worlds and 120 levels.
Smoosh! is available for free for a limited time. It has a 5-star rating with a total of 12 ratings.
Greg has a bit of a popcorn addiction. He just can’t get enough of it. It’s up to you to help him feed his need by pulling and stretching his tongue all over obstacle-filled levels. His tongue will bend at will, but cleverly placed spikes, zappers, chewing gum, and other puzzling objects must be avoided. The game includes five worlds and 90 levels.
Pull My Tongue is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 92 ratings.
iPad:
No matter how big or small the idea, Dream-X will help you realize it in visual form. You’re able to choose from two different themes and then get right to your mind mapping. Start off with a single idea and then branch out from there. You’re able to create new branches by selecting the idea you want them to branch off from and then tapping and holding on a spot on the screen. Each branched off idea can be color coded, include photo and message, include a task or subtask, and sport an icon. You’re able to freely rearrange your ideas just by dragging them around the canvas. You’re also able to export your mind maps and share them via email. The app includes tutorial videos and samples to help you get started.
Dream-X is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 46 ratings.
