Float, LLC

This web browser allows you to restrict users to a predefined list of allowed websites.

It’s perfect for classrooms, kiosks, places of business, and even your home.

Why we picked this?

Setting up your predefined list of allowed sites, or your whitelist, is a simple two-step process. After installing Sandbox Web Browser, launch your iDevice’s Settings app and scroll down until you find the app. The next menu will allow you to customize everything from allowed sites and bookmarks to the message that appears for restricted pages. Then make sure to lock the configuration settings with a passcode to prevent changes. That’s it. Your browser is restricted!

If you want to keep your iDevice’s users away from specific content, Sandbox Web Browser is the solution for you.

If you’re looking for something to restrict more than your web browser, this isn’t it. It won't keep anyone out of or away from anything else on your iDevice.

Snow Brawlin' Xtreme

Ghost Hand Games, LLC

Go Snow Brawlin’ with Risoo in this wacky arcade game. A gang of rogue rodents are trying to move in on Risoo’s turf, and the only way to settle this standoff is with a snowball fight!

Snow Brawlin’ Xtreme is for casual gamers that are looking for a quick fix in between daily activities.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

We really like how Snow Brawlin’ Xtreme combines tilt and tap mechanics. Tilt your iDevice to move Risoo into position and dodge the incoming snowballs. Tap on the feisty rodents in the distance to return fire. Your snowball supply is unlimited, so don’t stop chucking them. Try to avoid taking a direct hit for as long as possible to climb the leaderboards.

If you’re longing for winter and a good snowball fight, you’ll find it in Snow Brawlin’ Xtreme. The gameplay mechanics are so easy to pick up, you won’t want to put the game down.

The gameplay can be a little shallow, even with all of the crazy power-ups that drop in. If you’re looking for a game that you can sing hours upon hours into, this just isn’t it.

MyBrushes Pro - Sketch, Paint and Draw

Create beautiful paintings and sketches with MyBrushes Pro.

The app is designed for amateur and professional artists alike.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

What sets MyBrushes Pro apart from other art creation apps is its powerful drawing and painting engine. Every stroke is fast and silky smooth, no matter if you’re looking for precision or filling in large sections of the canvas. By the way, the canvas is infinite as are the layers, allowing you to create quite complex pieces of art. MyBrushes Pro also includes more than 100 preset brushes to choose from.

No matter your skill level, if you like to paint or draw, check out MyBrushes Pro today. Its simple UI makes it easy to quickly get to and adjust all of your tools, because it’s all about the art after all.

If you prefer a large canvas, you may be disappointed to know that MyBrushes Pro isn’t a universal app. So if you want to draw and paint on your iPad, you will have to download a different app that will actually cost you money.

Fast Camera doesn’t just snap a lot of shots, it also does it without any setup. You’re able to have Fast Camera begin capturing shots the moment you launch it. All you have to do is stop it. After you’ve capture a bunch of shots, you’re able to go through them and save only the ones you want. The app also includes customizable delays, four timer options, the ability to set picture limits, a stealth mode, and focus and exposure lock.

If you need to take shots quickly, this is one Fast Camera. It can also double as your everyday camera by disabling auto-on.

ScanBee is an easy to use portable scanner.

It’s ideal for anyone that needs to scan and save documents as PDFs.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

The app’s interface is clutter-free, making it easy to get the job done quickly. Just tap the “New Scan” button at the bottom of the screen and snap a photo of your document. You’re then able to manually adjust the borders and crop it down. Multiple scans can be included in a single PDF file, and you’re able to share them via email or open them within other apps. Scans can also simply be stored within ScanBee for later use.

If you want a simple portable digital scanner, this is it.

If you want a full-featured portable digital scanner, this isn’t it. It doesn’t include automatic border detection, and its sharing options are rather limited.
