Cuecard focuses on visual cues instead of text. When recording a new task, simply choose from a vast library of built-in cues or create your own from a photo. You’re able to attach notes if need be, but the idea is to keep things simple. Then whenever you want to see what needs to be done, just glance at your grid of visual cues. Cues that are more important than the rest can be highlighted in red.

The pigs are at it again. They’ve trapped all of the Angry Birds within balloons and only you can free them by creating matches of two or more. Just tap on any collection of balloons to pop them, and new ones will rise up into the screen. Matches of five or more will create a boost that’ll help you pop even more balloons. Keep an eye on the move counter, because if you don’t free the necessary number and type of Angry Birds before it hits zero, it’s game over.
