Your viking clan needs your help. They’ve all been trapped within various substances and it’s up to you to cut them free. The game starts off by teaching you the basics of controlling the camera and slicing chunks of ice to pieces. As you progress, things get a little crazier and you’ll have to figure out not only where to slice, but also how to get all of your clan back into your longboat. The game includes three different lands to travel through, 140 levels, side quests to take on, and achievements via Game Center.

It’s summer break for the zoo animals, and they’re all ready to go vacationing in their natural habitats. As the boat sets sail, your child must select the correct animal for the habitat it eventually docks at. Your child can get to know interesting facts about the animals and their habitats during the voyage. Once they’ve correctly placed an animal in its habitat, they can snap a photo of it for their memory book. They’re also able to pop bright balloons as a reward for their efforts. The game includes a total of 14 animals and seven habitats.

Instatag includes a large set of predefined, trending, and geo location tags to choose from. Just tap on the ones you want to create a collection. Then copy them and jump over to Instagram by tapping the button in the top right corner to add them to your photos. The app also allows you to create your own custom tags and save lists.

In each of the included scenarios, you're required to accomplish specific tasks by building up your kingdom and your units. You aren't put in direct control your citizens, but you can entice them to do your bidding with a little gold. The game includes two modes, 15 missions, 10 hero types, all kinds of spells, 30 upgradable buildings, three difficulty levels, and around 100 achievements to earn.

The app was created in partnership with renowned childhood education expert, Greg Nussbaum. It offers a wide variety of curated videos, games, interactive books, photos, songs, and activities designed to entertain and educate. It includes 30 pieces of content in all, and the ability to adjust the alert sound level and slideshow intervals.

It allows you to import PDF documents from a variety of sources including Google Drive, Dropbox, and your computer via iTunes File Sharing. You can then fill out forms, add comments, highlight important items, apply stamps, and add your signature to any PDF document. You’re also able to split documents, reorder pages, duplicate and rename, and zip them. PDF documents can be shared via email, Dropbox, and Google Drive, or they can be printed via AirPrint.

Puzzle pieces appear in the top right corner of the screen, and your child must drag and drop them into the proper cutout space. As each piece is placed, a new piece and cutout will appear. The game includes a variety of adorable animal characters that react in different ways.
