Apps That
Went Free on

Trixibrix is about as straightforward of a brick-breaking game as you’ll find, which is why we love it. The entire bottom half of the screen is devoted to your finger. Slide back and forth across the region to control you paddle. The moment your finger touches the screen the ball will be launched, so be ready! All of the bricks you need to break scroll across the screen continuously, requiring you to break until you can’t break anymore. Power-ups will also randomly appear, giving you a chance to earn multiple balls and lives back.

Weafo is a simple concept executed perfectly. There’s no need to install the app on multiple devices. All you need to do is activate the share extension and you’re off. The app provides a quick tutorial in case you’re not sure how to enable the extension. Then any time you need to transfer a file or link, simply tap the share icon in whatever app you’re in, choose the Weafo extension, and hand out the provided link to as few or as many people as you like. They’ll be able to download the linked content on any device.

Your child won’t be able to put this one down any time soon. They’re able to explore a city that’s alive with activity. Once they pick a vehicle in the city, they can embark on an adventure in three unique worlds. The colorful worlds allow your child to directly control their vehicle of choice, and manipulate objects in order to keep their vehicle humming along. City Cars Adventures includes eight vehicles to choose from, dynamic shadows and lighting, and nine levels with secrets to discover.

A Dark Room starts you off with basically zero instructions. All you have is a black screen that offers you a single choice: lighting the fire. From there you will have to dig deeper and deeper into the winding, unpredictable story. If we told you anymore it would ruin the entire experience, so just tap that download button and enjoy the hours of entertainment ahead of you.

Like Taptanium’s other apps, Sleepy Fan is all about the high quality audio. It’s encoded in 256 kbps AAC, making it truly sound like a fan is spinning in the background. You’re able to choose from an oscillating, ceiling, or desk fan, and you can mix in and tweak white, pink, and brown noise. Just sit back, get comfortable, and then tap on the fan to get the blades spinning!
