You don’t even need an internet connection to perform your transfers. Just make sure that Photo Transfer WiFi is installed on your iDevices and they’re on the same network. Then just drag and drop photos, videos, or entire albums to the iDevice of your choice to transfer. You’re also able to make your media accessible to other users on the same network to allow them to grab whatever they want. The app includes a large selection of tutorials to ensure everything goes smoothly, and Dropbox integration.

Before starting the game, you’re able to choose from one of the three difficulty settings and six languages. Your child will then be presented with an animal or object, which will be sounded out as well, and they must spell it out. They’re able to skip animals and objects in case they’re stuck. The game also includes corrections for incorrect responses, clues, and the ability to reset progress.

They’re able to enjoy interactive books, watch videos, play games, put together puzzles, and color in pictures. All activities are food-related, and all will help your child learn to eat healthy and be more explorative. The app includes a total of 30 kid-safe activities.

Like most games in the genre, Groops has you on the lookout for groups of three tiles. The big difference here is that tiles can either share the same attributes or be completely different. The other thing to keep in mind is that tiles don’t need to be adjacent to each other to be grouped together. Tiles have a total of four attributes with three options each, creating all kinds of matching possibilities. In the levels mode, you must find a specific amount of matches. In the time attack mode, you must simply move fast. The game includes three board sizes, more than 400 levels, online multiplayer, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

You’ve seen them in the ring, but can you recognize them without their faces? Just tap on the letters provided to you to spell out their names. If you get stuck, you can choose to skip the character, remove letters from the pool, or ask your friends on Facebook.

You're presented with basic math problems on one side of the screen and color mixing tests on the other. You must successfully solve the math problems and color mixing tests at the same time under the pressure of a dual timer to survive. Get three strikes on either side or allow the time to expire and it's game over. The game also includes achievements and leaderboards via Game Center. Additional puzzles are available via in-app purchase.

The app can be as basic or as advanced as you want it to be thanks to its myriad of features. Tasks can include a due date, list, notes, priority, recurrence, reminders, and an unlimited number of tags. You can also organize tasks into folders, and view them in list or calendar form. The app also includes 20 themes to choose from, passcode protection, custom icon badging, and search.

Your job is to bring the learn-to-draw illustrations of Ed Emberley back to life. At the beginning of each level you’ll get the chance to memorize the drawing, and then shake your iDevice to break it up into pieces. The goal is to put the drawing back together again from memory before your 60 seconds is up. You’re also able to receive a hint, but it will cost you points. The game includes more than 100 puzzles, the ability to disable the timer, and a twirly mode for a little extra fun.

You’re able to import files from a variety of sources including your computer, Dropbox, email, contacts, iMessage, clipboard, photo library, and the Internet. PDF printer allows you to convert a bunch of different file types like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote as well as images and contacts. Converted PDFs can be shared via Dropbox, email, or iTunes FIle Sharing, or you can print them off via AirPrint or open them in another app.

Various amounts of cards will appear on the screen face down. Your child can tap on them to reveal what’s on the flip side. They must then find all of the matching pairs of colors and shapes to complete each game. When tapped on, your child is able to hear the color or object pronounced. The app also includes a Show Me mode where the cards are all face up, making it easier to play.
