Why we picked this?

On each side of the screen you’ll be presented with a specific challenge. Challenges range from identifying missing shapes to number problems. Each side of the screen also has a separate timer, requiring you to focus on two things at once. Your pool of lives can be found in the middle of the screen. Fail to complete a challenge or guess the wrong answer and you’ll lose a life. Lose all seven and it’s game over.

If you want to jump start your brain, 2 Things at Once is an entertaining way to go about it. The game also includes historical stats and Game Center leaderboards.

The content is limited in scope, which when played for long sessions can feel repetitive.

BusyBox comes highly recommended today thanks to its wide range of uses. Whether you’re looking to track your workouts or time spent on the job, BusyBox will help you get it done. You’re able to create as many different activities as necessary. They can also be color-coded for quick reference. Then when it’s time to start the activity, select it from your list and start the timer. The app will keep a running log of all of the time spent on each activity, and the data can be exported and shared via email.

If you’ve always been looking for a way to track your time spent on activities, look no further. The app’s open-ended nature makes it perfect for anyone and everyone. It doesn’t require you to waste time adding specific information.

BusyBox is pretty general, so if you need to track specific data, this isn’t the app for you.
