Fonta - Little Design Studio

ThirtyFive Inc.

Add stylish text to your favorite photos with Fonta.

The app is ideal for anyone that wants to tell a story with their photos.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Fonta has a ridiculous amount of text options, allowing you to stand out from the crowd. Before you get to that point, however, you can edit your original photo by cropping, rotating, framing, filtering, and blurring it. Then come up with a message you want to drive home, and place it wherever you like on your photo. You’re able to select from a wide variety of fonts, colors, opacity levels, and even layer your text. There are also loads of frame and artwork options to choose from. Fonta allows you to share your creations via Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

If you really want to make your photos personal and unique, Fonta will help you accomplish that. It’s like a little design studio that you can bring wherever you go.

To come up with truly great results, you’re going to have to fiddle around for a while and dig through all of the options. If that sounds horribly unappealing to you, avoid Fonta.

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.

If you’re tired of messaging content or hunting down that USB cable, Weafo is for you. It couldn’t be easier to use, and the ability to compress files is icing on the cake.

The app requires iOS 8 or later since it utilizes extensions.

Survive the zombie apocalypse in Dead Eyes.

It’s for fans of turn-based puzzle games.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

Jack is a young, curly-haired boy who is trapped in a dark and foggy world that’s being taken over by the undead. Help him reach safety in each level by guiding him past the zombie hordes. To do so, simply swipe in any direction where there is open space. You must learn the patterns of the zombies in order to survive, because every move you make, they’re allowed an equal chance to move. The game includes four episodes with 100 levels to play through, Everyplay integration, and unlockable costumes.

If you’re tired of the same old cutesy puzzle games, check out Dead Eyes. It provides a thrilling atmosphere.

The game can feel a little monotonous, especially in later levels where you’ll have to restart over and over.
