Runr is a lot more than your everyday fitness tracking app. Sure, it easily allows you to track your runs, jogs, and walks, but where it really sets itself apart is with its deep Game Center integration. You’re able to earn achievements and see how you compare against your friends via leaderboards, and even go head-to-head with your friends in multiplayer races. As you’re speeding along, you’re able to receive voice feedback to help keep you motivated. The app also includes complete stat tracking, an optional run countdown, and the ability to create reminders.

Take control of your thoughts and to-do lists by turning them into colorful sticky notes. To create a new note, just double-tap on an empty spot on the screen. Your note can include basic text, badges, and even list symbols. When completed, notes can be moved freely around the screen, resized, and rotated via common gestures. You’re able to populate up to 15 virtual desktops with notes, and transfer notes between them. The app includes 88 backgrounds to choose from, 45 note skins, 27 badge designs, 115 icons, iCloud support, and the ability to share notes via email.

Your little ones get to explore the farm with Lily and the cute animals. Each of the eight sections stars a cute farm animal, and your child must help them complete the task at hand. Games range from counting and classifying objects to comparing shapes and naming colors. A professional narrator will guide your child along the way and provide positive reinforcement.

You're able to choose from 11 different compositions with 35 customizable gridlines. Each composition includes a short description and example shot to help you determine which best suits your current situation. The app also includes the ability to manipulate the gridlines, and three different colors to choose from.

Red Clock is absolutely loaded with customization options. You’re able to keep things simple by just displaying the time, or you can go all out by adding weather icons, complete weather data, battery bar, seconds, and the day of the week.

Start off by choosing a frame ratio and orientation. Then start cutting it up however you like. You’re able to move the vertical and horizontal guides by sliding your finger across the frame. When you want to make a cut, tap to select a section and turn it blue. Only that section will be cut through where you’ve placed the lines. Keep going until you have enough sections for the amount of photos you want to use. You’re able to customize the edges of your frame with various thicknesses, colors, and patterns before saving or sharing it via Facebook, Twitter, or email.
