Week Calendar is a pleasure to use thanks to its intuitive UI. Events can be imported from your favorite calendar services like Exchange, Google, or iCloud, and you’re able to relocate them with just a drag and drop. If you want a closer look at your week, a daily view is available. If you need a larger overview, monthly and yearly overviews are available as well. Events can be searched for and presented in list form. The app also includes the ability to create templates, repeat events, color code events, invite coworkers and friends via email, and badge events.

If you prefer a weekly view of your calendar, this is the best way to do it. Week Calendar’s drag and drop interface makes it easy to manage all of your events.

If the native calendar app is cutting it for you, there’s no need to check out Week Calendar.

With Alarmr, you don’t have to make a choice between substance and style because it has both. It allows you to create an unlimited number of alarms for every day of the week. When in landscape orientation you’re able to see all kinds of valuable information like the current weather conditions, your schedule for the day, news from around the world, and recent tweets. The app includes six built-in themes to choose from, or you can design your own from scratch. It also includes a built-in flashlight, sleep timer, and random challenges that will help ensure you wake up and stay up.

If you need multiple alarms for different days of the week, this is the app for you. Its alarm interface is one of the better ones available, making it easy to repeat, customize, and delete alarms.

Just like the original, the goal of the game is to collect all of the pearls in each level in as few moves and as quickly as possible.

If you’re into casual puzzle games, Quell Reflect is a great addition to your collection. It creates a relaxing and soothing environment that you can solve puzzles in while kicking your feet up.

It requires laser focus and patience to perfect every level. If you’re more of a pick-up-and-play gamer, skip this one.
