Allergy Assist - Save and Share Allergy Profiles

Tikkun Olam

Create allergy profiles and share them with caregivers with Allergy Ally.

It’s ideal for parents who have children with food or other allergies.

FREE ($2.99) For a limited time FREE ($2.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Allergy Ally makes it quick and easy to share allergy information with anyone that needs it. You’re able to create profiles for multiple people and include information like a profile picture, the type of allergy, what to do when an emergency strikes, and who to contact. Each profile can be edited and shared at any time.

If you have a child with food allergies, you need to download Allergy Ally. It makes it remarkably easy to create and share information with teachers, babysitters, and anyone else that needs to know.

If your child has much more than food allergies that require specific care, this app probably won't cut it.

Square Video for Instagram & Vine

Mixcord Inc.

Square Video ensures you’ll never have another video cut off when uploaded to Instagram.

It’s for those who want their aspect ratio to remain when uploading to Instagram.

Why we picked this?

Like Flambe’s other photography apps, Square Video helps you get the job done quickly. You’re able to select any video from your library, and Square video will fit it within the 1:1 frame without cropping it down. This is done by filling the gaps with an appropriate letter box. You’re able to change the color of the letter box as well. Your video can be trimmed down, filtered, and captioned before being uploaded to Instagram.

If you hate the 1:1 Instagram ratio, give Square Video a try.

If you're not fond of letter boxing look, this isn’t the app for you either.

Guide a spinning bar through tight mazes in this challenging arcade game.

It’s great for any gamer who wants to test their reflexes and dexterity.

Why we picked this?

Cyro is one tricky maze game. You’re put in control of an ever-rotating bar, and you must carefully guide it through six colorful worlds filled with obstacles and walls using an on-screen directional pad. Hold in the button on the bottom right side of the screen to restrict the bar’s movements and move through tight passages. If you hit any wall or obstacle, you’ll lose a life. Lose all three and you’ll have to start over. Above all else move quickly because the clock is ticking!

If you enjoy clever mazes, check out Cyro today. It’s unlike any other maze game you’ve played before. The controls are also ridiculously accurate.

If games that require a steady hand aren’t your thing, Cyro isn’t your game.

Remote Mouse is super easy to set up. Just follow the link found in the tutorial when the app is first launched to download the free companion software. Launch Remote Mouse on your iPad and tap the start button to connect. You can then use it as you would a normal trackpad. Remote Mouse includes a full keyboard, an application launcher and switcher, password protection, and loads of customization options. A media remote panel, customizable wallpaper, and remote image viewer are all available via in-app purchase.
