Coyn is all about efficiency. All that’s needed to add an expense or income to your account is a swipe. A downward swipe allows you to add income, and an upward swipe allows you to add an expense. You’re able to categorize each entry by selecting from one of the included icons. You’re also able to view your financial situation via a graph.

If you need to stay on a budget, Coyn is for you. It offers Touch ID and iCloud support, so if you have multiple Apple devices, it’s easy to keep things secure and in sync.

If you need to manage multiple accounts, skip this one.

Alien Cell plays like a game of hide and seek. You’re trapped within a maze of hexagonal cells. The only way out is to collect every last key without being noticed by the red hexagons. To move, simply drag your finger across the screen and the world will slide around you. Utilize the darkness and shader cells to hide from your captors. If you’re spotted, run! The game includes 18 large maze-like levels, and dynamic placement of keys.

Danger is lurking around every corner, so if you enjoy tense gameplay, check out Allien Cell today.

The game can be rather difficult, especially if you get impatient.

The Christmas Gift List allows you to visualize your shopping list. You’re able to add all those you are shopping for by importing the data from your Contacts.

The app also includes the ability to sync data via iCloud, 14 filter types, and a countdown to Christmas.

If you’re the designated gift shopper in the family, you need this app. It’ll help save your sanity.
