Memory Quest: Dungeon Adventure is simple enough for kids to pick up and play while having a layer of complexity for an older audience as well. The idea is to turn over tiles with a tap and match them with their associated objects to unlock treasures, open doors, mine for gems, and defeat enemies. For example, a tile with a sword will match with a cyclops and a tile with a pickaxe will match with gems. Experience points allow you to level up your character, and the gems allow you to purchase helpful items.

Just like the original, your job is to keep the faceless invaders from reaching your Tesla tower. This time, however, bigger and more powerful weapons are at your disposal including six auxiliary turrets. The main tower still is the most powerful, allowing you to strike down your opponents by tapping and holding your finger on them to send off an electric charge. By completing various goals and ensuring no invader reaches your tower, you’ll be rewarded with cash. The cash can be spent on upgrades and special attacks. The game includes a total of 80 levels, and a survival mode.

A friendly astronaut crab needs help navigating the space station. Your child is able to help him by hopping, eating, and shaking their way through word sort challenges including roots, vowels, and inflectional endings. The app includes four difficulty levels, the ability to practice skills separately, and support for multiple profiles.

Your child can move the frog by tapping on lily pads. Some pads are missing, breaking the frog's path to freedom, so your child must discover which word belongs in the gap. The game includes three worlds to explore, three skills to practice, three difficulty levels, and support for multiple profiles.

They're able to practice using nouns, verbs, and adjectives by swimming, feeding chameleons, and tossing crackers at parrots. The app includes three worlds to explore with multiple challenges in each, the ability to practice all of the skills separately, four difficulty levels, and support for multiple profiles.

Animal Game Show will build up your child's confidence while entertaining them. Your child gets to see a set of toes sticking out from underneath the curtain, and they must decide what animal or person they belong to. They’re provided with three possible answers, and when they select the correct one the curtain will be drawn.

Work.JOT helps you manage every facet of your job because it’s really two apps in one: task manager and time tracker. It allows you to create tasks, set due dates, and even add subtasks. You’re also able to create client and project lists, and track the time spent on them. A dynamic dashboard allows you to get an overview of all of your latest stats. When a job is complete, you’re able to generate and share timesheet reports via email.

It's able to put your young child in a relaxing state of mind by playing binaural and isochronic tones. The app includes 15 ambient tracks, 13 sound samples, six entrainment programs, the ability to create your own custom programs, repeating alarms, a countdown timer, and a full set of instructions.
