Why we picked this?

JotNot is one of the most advanced scanner apps in the entire App Store. Not only is it able to automatically detect the edges of your documents, it also processes the final image to remove shadows, correct contrast, and adjust the white balance. This way your scans come out crisp and clear every time. Scans can be saved as PDFs or JPEGs, and you can share them in a wide variety of ways or upload them to your favorite cloud service. The app also includes password protection, the ability to rename and organize scans, and the ability to tag scans.

If you still don’t have a go-to scanner app, stop wasting time and download JotNot today. Everyone needs to scan something at some point.

If you need to fax documents, it’ll cost you.

Why we picked this?

Your child starts off by designing their very own flowers. They must simply choose a color and start drawing on any petal. The pattern will be repeated on all of the other petals with a kaleidoscope effect. Then guide the bees, butterflies, and other creatures to pollinate the flowers. Their colorful creations will spread across the field. The app includes more than 70 colors and 50 brushes to choose from.

If you’re a parent or teacher, check out Gro Flowers today. Although it doesn’t have any written instructions, there’s a lot they can learn just by playing.

If your child isn’t between the ages of two and six, the app isn’t designed for them.

Playmation Studios

Create complete sentences from a grid of jumbled words with Sleep Furiously.

It’s an absolute blast for fans of word games.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

Sleep Furiously is absurd fun. The idea is to create grammatically correct sentences using the grid of words in front of you. Simply drag your finger over adjacent words to connect them and create a sentence. The best part is, it can be completely nonsensical. The longer the sentence, the more points you’ll score. The game includes three different modes to enjoy.

If you’ve always enjoyed messing around with fridge magnets, this is the game for you. There’s nothing else like it in the App Store.

Sleep Furiously may have three different modes, but it lacks in-depth statistics and game modifiers like power-ups.

Improve your Instagram experience with Instantbot.

It’s for those who want to do more with Instagram.

Why we picked this?

Before you do anything, you'll want to log in to your Instagram account. This will allow you to not only upload new photos, but also tap into your personal profile and see what everyone else is up to. Instantbot includes a multifunctional camera, allowing you to shoot in multiple modes, apply filters and textures, create framed collages, and slap on some stickers. It also allows you to view popular images from the community, follow and unfollow users, comment on photos, like photos, save photos, tweet or post links to photos on Facebook, and view photos from users nearby on a map.

If you find your current Instagram experience lacking, try Instantbot. It allows you to do so much more than the official app can do.

Instagram has changed their rules regarding their API, so the future of this and all other third-party apps is in doubt.
