Next! is actually four separate apps in one: A goal tracker, note taker, project manager, and task manager.

Each section operates on its own with the ability to tag, categorize, archive, share, and search for entries. You’re also able to view your entire Next! list within Notification Center.

Play as Paddy and try to work your way through the King’s Castle as quickly as possible to recover the gold that was stolen by The Fool. Paddy isn’t exactly the aggressive type, however, so you’ll have to use your stealth skills to sneak by guards and other scoundrels. You’re even able to utilize environmental objects to create new paths or find new hiding spots. You’re able to guide Paddy around the environments just by dragging your finger where you want him to go. Double-tap to leap to platforms, and put two fingers to the screen to rotate the camera.
