In A Day in the Woods, you don’t actually get to control Little Red. Instead, you play as her little sprite friend, and you’re able to help her move across the tiled landscapes by swapping places. Just tap on the sprite and tap on a tile to swap. You’ll have to plan ahead in order to avoid cornering yourself, running out of moves, and running into the big bad wolf. The game includes 60 levels, and loads of unlockable content.
A Day In The Woods is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 9 ratings.
You’re able to choose from eight different colors, and adjust the size, transparency, and hue of your stroke. Then put your finger to the screen and start painting.

Your paintings can be shared as photos or as videos via email, Messages, or AirDrop.

The game includes 36 levels.
Musical Paint For Kids is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 62 ratings.
You must first provide your gender and weight so WaterMinder can calculate your necessary water intake. Then every time you have a glass of water, record it with a tap. You’re able to choose from pre-defined amounts of water, or you can create your own. An icon badge will also display the percentage of water you’ve consumed throughout the day. Reminders can be set up to ensure you stay on track. The app also includes Health app integration, intake history, a graph to see your progress, and a guide to drinking water.
