Along the way you’ll come across puzzles that will require you to gather and manipulate objects, so be prepared for a challenge. If you find yourself stuck, feel free to head to the developer’s Facebook page for some game-winning strategies. The game includes 8-bit graphics, some pretty funky music, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

The calendar is represented as an infinitely scrollable timeline instead of as a big grid. Just swipe up or down to glide over it. Tap on a day to add an event. You’re able to attach a time and color to your event to keep things even more tidy. Tap and hold on an already created event to copy, edit, or add something new to that day. There’s also a list view that allows you to check things off as you complete them. Events can be shared on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. The app includes iCloud support, notifications, and five themes to choose from.

You must first pick a table and an opponent. You must then take turns asking funny questions to rule out characters until you’re able to guess which is theirs.

Your child can simply slide their finger around the screen and Fins will follow along.

You’re also able to get LinkedIn network updates, search for someone specific, browse through your connections in a wide variety of ways, and choose from eight different themes.

You get to play as a sword-wielding samurai, and your job is to cut all of the numbers down to their prime factors.
