BabySafari

Incandescent Core, LLC

Send your young child on an adventure through the Serengeti plains with this education app.

It’s for parents with children three and under that want to give them a head start.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time

Why we picked this?

We’re recommending BabySafari today because any tot will be able to enjoy it. They get to go cruising through the plains and watch as the animals leap into view. If your child is a little further along, they can challenge themselves with memory, counting, and interactive puzzles. BabySafari can also be personalized with your own pronunciations of animals names.

If you have a tot that loves animals, BabySafari will surely keep them engaged. There’s no wrong way to enjoy the app. Your child can tap away at the screen without concern.

If you have a child older than three, BabySafari likely won’t stimulate them. It’s pretty straightforward and lacks major interaction methods.

Hipsters Save The World

Eye Interactive, Inc.

Fight off an evil alien robot invasion as a bunch of hipsters in this side-scrolling game.

Hipsters Save The World is the perfect timer waster for anyone that enjoys a good cup of organically grown and locally roasted vegan coffee.

FREE ($1.99) For a limited time FREE ($1.99) For a limited time

Why we picked this?

The amount of weapons you’re able to utilize in Hipsters Save The World is staggering. Who knew hipsters loved violence so much? You start out with a basic handgun and a hammer, and you must shoot and beat your way through the army of evil robots to earn your cup of coffee. After each day is over, you’re able to purchase new weapons and ammo. Don’t forget to search the trash cans for valuables. People throw away some amazing stuff. The game includes five worlds and an unlimited amount of levels.

If you like beat ‘em up games, you’re going to have a good time with Hipsters Save The World. The subtle nods to hipster culture are quite amusing, and you’ll get a feeling of satisfaction beating down robot after robot with your glasses-clad character.

Like most beat ‘em up games, Hipsters Save The World can get a bit repetitive. Especially since it lacks major power-ups that could break up the gameplay. If you’re looking to play for more than a few minutes at a time, you probably want to skip this one.

Car Camera DVR. PRO

Oxagile LLC

Turn your iDevice into a dashboard camera with Car Camera DVR.

It’s great for anyone that has a daily commute or is going on a long trip.

$12.99 $12.99

Why we picked this?

Car Camera DVR is much more than a camera. Sure, it allows you to record video at 1920x1080 resolution and at up to 30 FPS, but it’s also loaded with additional features and data. The app is able to record audio, and the video has an embedded data overlay that shows your speed, heading, coordinates, and time. Your videos are all stored within the app itself, but you can export them to your library.

If you drive a lot and want to record your travels, Car Camera DVR will help you get the job done. Its main recording interface is able to offer up as much or as little information as you like, so no matter what your intent, you’re covered.

If you have an iDevice with very little storage space, Car Camera DVR won’t be too helpful. It needs a substantial amount of free space in order to store all of your videos.

Rembrandt

WEI YAO

Browse through a virtual gallery of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn's with this lifestyle app.

It’s ideal for those interested in classic works of art.

$0.99 $0.99

Why we picked this?

With Rembrandt, there’s so much to see and learn about. You’re able to swipe through a scrolling list of his work, search for something specific, or break it all down by category. Each piece of art is presented in high definition, allowing you to zoom way in without losing any detail. The app also includes the ability to save and share artwork, and a brief biography.

If you’re always been interested in Rembrandt’s work, this is your app. The ability to get a super close look at each piece is worth the time to download the app alone.

If you’re just not that into Rembrandt’s work, you have no real reason to download this one.
