Why we picked this?

It’s almost difficult not to appreciate the effort and attention to detail put into Super Lemonade Factory. Take control of Andre and his wife Liselot as they journey through the lemonade factory they are set to inherit. To make your way to each exit in the factory, you'll need to switch between the two characters since each one has their own unique abilities. The game includes a unique storyline, 72 levels, the ability to create your own levels, retro pixel art, a chiptune soundtrack, and achievements via Game Center.

If you enjoy puzzle platformers, you have to check out Super Lemonade Factory. Just take our word for it.

The game can be extremely challenging, especially in some of the later puzzles.

ThirtyFive Inc.

Clip images and GIFs from any website with this beautifully designed productivity app.

It’s the ideal app for those who prefer visual references and reminders.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

To clip an image or GIF from a website, you'll first need to launch Pickle. You can then head to Safari and copy the image, GIF, or URL, which will automatically place it into Pickle. If you choose to copy a URL, Pickle will automatically pull every single image and GIF from the website. You can then arrange your captured content within lists by selecting one and swiping right to left. Swipe left to right over an image or GIF to share or delete it. Pickle includes 10 list colors to choose from, the ability to edit and rearrange lists, and Dropbox support.

If you are always looking for inspiration, Pickle should be your storage box. It’s able to clip almost anything in a snap, and the colorful storage system makes it easy to recall why you clipped in the first place.

Pickle is for visual reference material like images and GIFs. If you simply want to capture text, this isn’t the app for you.

Toca Boca AB

Your child can create their own Mini from scratch with this entertainment app.

It’s an entertaining app for children with big imaginations.

$4.99 $4.99
Why we picked this?

No child can resist the charm of a Toca Boca app! All they have to do is tap on the blank Mini to get started. They can then design their own Mini by adding eyes, mouths, noses, and eyebrows. Reversible stamps can be slapped on to create patterns and replicate clothes, and they’re able to utilize 60 different colors however they wish. When your child’s Mini is complete, they’re able to add color to the background and share it with the world. There are no rules here, so just let your child’s imagination run wild.

If your child enjoys designing things, they’re going to have a blast creating their own Mini. The animated customization options and characters will have no problem charming your children.

The app’s not intended for children under four simply because the UI would be too difficult to navigate for them.
