Track your expenses with ease with Wealthy.

It’s ideal for those who finally want to go digital with their finances without having to spend a lot of time learning new concepts.

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

Wealthy’s timeline interface makes managing your finances quick and painless. When adding new expenses you’re able to categorize them, attach notes, and even attach a photo. Swipe left to right across the screen to access a scrollable financial report that can be exported. You’re also able to search for past expenses, set a passcode, and backup your data to Dropbox.

If you’ve never been able to stick with a digital finance app, give Wealthy a try. It’s visual simplicity ensures no feature will go unused.

It relies on Dropbox for your backups. It doesn’t offer iCloud support, so there isn’t an easy way to sync data across multiple devices.

Use gravity to hit as many white dots as possible in Incurve.

It’s for fans of one-touch gameplay.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

Incurve is all about indirect control. Your job is to get the red ball to ram into as many white dots as possible as you climb higher and higher by sucking it into the gravitational pull of the circles. To do so, simply hold your finger on the screen when the red dot is near a circle. It will spin round and round until you release, flinging it through the air. The game includes three different modes to play.

If you enjoy a challenge, this is your game. Your first few attempts will result in some very low scores, but stay with it. You’ll get the hang of it.

It’s a high score game. There aren’t any other objectives.

Chromasphere

redmotion games

Get the ball rolling in this 3-D puzzle game.

It’s for fans of labyrinth-style games.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

We really like Chromasphere because of its variation in gameplay. Like most labyrinth-style games, your job is to guide the ball from one end of the level to the other. Doing so, however, can be a puzzling experience since you must track down crystals to change the color of your sphere before you can pass through specific doors. Chromasphere includes 24 challenging levels, ghost replaces, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

If you enjoy tilt-based puzzle games, this should be right up your alley. As with most tilt-based games, Chromasphere can be a tad difficult to get the hang of, but once you master guiding your ball around with tilts and controlling the camera with swipes, you’ll fall in love.

If you’re not fond of tilt-based games, Chromasphere isn’t for you. There isn’t a secondary control option; you only can tilt to control the ball.

King of Opera

Tuokio Inc.

Fight for fame and become the King of Opera in this frantic multiplayer party game.

It’s the perfect game for a night in with a group of friends.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

King of Opera will turn friends into enemies and enemies into, well, bigger enemies! The object of the game is to bounce your opponents off of the platform and out of the spotlight by getting your opera singer to ram into them. The catch is that your opera singer is constantly rotating, making it rather difficult to get him or her going in the right direction. The game includes five crazy modes to try, and the ability to play with three other friends on the same iDevice.

If you need a party game for your nights in, this is it. Its over-the-top action will have everyone at your party going after each other.

The game requires a group of people. You simply can’t get the full experience without a bunch of people tapping away at the screen.

Play a game of Reversi against computer-controlled opponents or your friends with this board game.

Fresh Reversi is perfect for any and every board game fan.

$5.99 $5.99
Why we picked this?

We really like Fresh Reversi because it allows you to jump right in and play. You’re able to compete against three different computer-controlled opponents, grab a friend and play locally, or play online. As you play you’ll see a running tally of the pieces you own at the top of the screen. You’re also able to have hints shown and change the starting position. The game includes full stat tracking as well.

If, like most of the world, you enjoy a good game of Reversi every now and then, give Fresh Reversi a try. It’s clean and crisp interface makes every game a treat. The detailed stats also allow you to track how well you’ve played.

The only reason you wouldn’t want to download this game is if you hate board games, or Reversi, specifically. If that’s you, steer clear of Fresh Reversi.
