Why we picked this?

Simplique is about simplicity. Tap the top portion of the screen to import or take a new photo and use it as the background for your wallpaper. Tap the circle to import or take a new photo and use it as your main subject. The background photo can be blurred to whatever degree you like. You’re able to preview your new lock screen wallpaper before saving it to your library.

If you want a simple way to create a lock screen wallpaper that’s not misaligned, this is it.

If you want more control over your lock screen wallpaper, Simplique won’t provide it. It only offers one frame design, and you can only blur the background image.

Eye to Eye - Celebrity Quiz

Sergey Tyo

A simple yet visually appealing trivia game that has you guessing famous people just by looking into their eyes. Eye to Eye is for any and all trivia game fans.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

We really like Eye to Eye because it’s appealing to the eye. Seriously, the slick animations and crisp black and white graphics will keep you hooked. All you have to do is tap the eye in the middle of the screen to get things started. You’ll then a see a very small, thin image of a famous person’s eyes surrounded by possible options. Tap on the correct one to move on to the next. That’s it! Just enjoy and try to complete all of the levels.

If you enjoy trivia games, you’ll love Eye to Eye. It almost has a calming effect thanks to its visual presentation and relaxing tunes.

Eye to Eye is just about famous people. You won’t get any trivia questions pertaining to famous objects or logos, because they don’t have eyes!

Runtastic Mountain Bike PRO

runtastic

Keep track of your mountain bike rides with this health and fitness app.

Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro is great for AppsGoneFree users that enjoy hitting the trails.

$3.99 $3.99
Why we picked this?

Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro’s real-time data is second to none. You won’t find a more accurate ride tracking app in the App Store. It’s able to record your trip, duration, distance, altitude, and calories burned. If you’re going for a ride in an area with poor cellular coverage, you can choose to download map data ahead of time for offline viewing. The app even includes weather data, Pebble support, voice detection, and automatic pause detection.

Whether you hit the trails or go for a spin around the house, Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro has you covered. All of the data can be synced online and shared with others, so you won’t have to take your journey alone.

Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro can be a data and battery hog. If either of those things are always in the back of your mind, you may want to skip downloading Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro.

Robots Love Ice Cream™

Ayopa Games LLC

This arcade blast is pretty sweet. Hop into your ice cream truck and unleash your weaponized dessert upon your unsuspecting foes.

It’s ideal for casual gamers that have a bit of a sweet tooth.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

The premise of the game is absolutely ridiculous, which is what makes it so awesome. Your single objective is to keep Spinston and his robot buddies from stealing your precious ice cream. To do so, you must utilize various treats to blast them out of the sky Space Invaders-style. Collect the magical Sprinkletonium that drifts down from your fallen foes and use it to upgrade your truck and your weapons. Completing objectives will earn you additional Sprinkletonium.

If you enjoy arcade games like Space Invaders, you’ll love this tasty treat. The on-screen controls allow you to move around with precision and fight for supremacy on the Game Center leaderboards.

Depending upon the type of gamer you are, Robots Love Ice Cream may be too sweet. With its eye-popping visuals to its insanely upbeat tunes, you just might not be able to stand it all.

Zinkle

Zinkle

Zinkle

Orangeberg Games, Inc.

An elemental puzzle game that has you trying to create chain reactions.

It’s for puzzle game fans that are in need of a real challenge.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

Zinkle starts out simple, but ramps up in difficulty rather quickly. The idea is to clear all of the blocks by canceling them out. For example, fire destroys ice and wind destroys earth. Just swipe to slide them in to each other and cancel them out. Try to create big chains to score more points. An undo option is available in case you make a mistake.

If you like puzzle games that are easy to learn but difficult to master, download Zinkle today. You’ll have to learn — rock, paper, scissors-style — which element cancels out which. It offers 90 mind-bending levels that will put your puzzle solving skills to the test.

Zinkle’s graphics leave a lot to be desired, so if that’s something you can’t look past, just save yourself some time and skip this one.
