GREG proves that even simple math isn’t easy. A grid of numbered tokens is laid out before you. Tap on tokens to select and add them up in order to match the number at the top. Each turn of the timer located around the number at the top will cause the unused tokens to become hotter and change color. If a single token burns up before you reach the next level, it’s game over. Bonus points can be scored by making lines, squares, and crosses from your selected tokens, and you can utilize power-ups to clear levels faster.

Intervallo is a timer app that can do it all. It has 10 different built-in timers that you’re able to start with a tap. Each timer operates separately and can be divided into several intervals. The coolest feature, however, is the ability to assign tasks to intervals. You’re able to have Intervallo dial a number, send a message, or even sound out an email when the time is right. Timers can be shared via email as well.

First and foremost, Tydilig is all about getting results. Its super responsive interface allows you make a calculation and get the results in real-time. You’re able to go back and edit any number within your calculation and have the result updated automatically. Numbers can be linked by selecting a result and pressing any operation, and your proceeding results will cascade down the link. History is stored in an ever-scrolling canvas, and you’re able to drag numbers around and reuse them. The app also includes real-time graphing, undo, support for Bluetooth keyboards, and the ability to share results and your entire canvas.

Apple’s extensions in iOS 8 can come in handy, especially when they come in the form of aNote. Whenever you need to point out something on a website or within a photo, simply tap the share button within Safari or Photos and activate the aNote extension. You can then annotate the shot by drawing all over it with a variety of colors, adding shapes, or adding text. Your annotated shots can be saved or shared. It’s remarkably simple, but if you’ve never used an extension within iOS 8 before, aNote comes with a quick set of instructions to help you out.
