DailyCost isn’t just easy to use, it’s also easy on the eyes. Just pull down on the receipt tape to add an expense. You can then define an amount and pick a category. The amount entered is accompanied by the category icon on the receipt to allow for quick reference. You can also swipe left and right to tear the tape and see your totals from other days. The app also includes 13 different wallpaper options.

No matter where you are, Pocket Earth will help you find your way thanks to its huge database that includes more than 100,000 locations and points of interest. Before heading out on your adventure, we recommend downloading your maps ahead of time. The storage space they take up is remarkably small. You’re able to search maps while offline, create routes, pin locations, share your current location, and even receive turn-by-turn directions.

Quotes Folder shines a light on some of the most memorable and inspiration quotes in history. It includes more than 38,600 quotes, maxims, and aphorisms from 1,300 different authors to read and share. Quotes that aren’t already included in the database can be added manually and organized within folders. You’re also able to search for quotes by author or keyword and save your favorites. The app includes 13 themes to choose from.

Creatures of the sea will pop into view, and you must cut them with a swipe according to the percentage at the top of the screen. The closer you get to the percentage, the higher your score. If you make a perfect cut, an octopus will leap across the screen. Tap it to earn bonus time. You’ll need it too since you only start with 60 seconds. The game includes leaderboards via Game Center as well.

War of Eclipse is unabashedly retro. Its pixel art graphics are sharp and its gameplay brutally difficult. You’re able to choose from seven powerful battleships, each of which can be customized in a variety of ways. Blast away all kinds of alien invaders by perfectly timing your shots. The game includes 35 enemy types to take on, random equipment drops, and seven different endings to discover.
