Dungeon of the Endless is a rather unique hybrid. Your spaceship has crash landed, and the only thing left keeping your team alive is a crystal generator. It’s up to you to equip and deploy your team in order to safely discover each door, and that’s where things get really interesting. The generator must travel with you through each room, so you must set up your defenses and slog it by endless waves of monsters. Your team members can be upgraded with new skills and equipment in order to make the journey easier.

Clear Day is one visually stunning weather app. You’re presented with full screen videos that reflect the conditions. Across the bottom of the screen you'll find all of the weather data you could ever ask for including the wind speed, feels like temperature, chance of precipitation, and an hourly weather forecast. The current conditions can be shared via your favorite social media platform. Clear Day also has animated 3-D weather maps that depict storms and hurricanes with great detail.

Various amounts of cards will appear on the screen face down. Your child can tap on them to reveal what’s on the flip side. They must then find all of the matching pairs of shapes and colors to complete each game. When tapped on, your child is able to hear the object or color pronounced. The app also includes a Show Me mode where the cards are all face up, making it easier to play.

Zen Sketch allows you to quickly sketch out your ideas and jot down your thoughts without getting in the way. You’re able to create multiple notebooks and organize them however you wish. A toolbar rests at the top of the screen, which can be hidden with a tap. The toolbar allows you to select from nine different drawing tools and a huge variety of colors, and it allows you to undo and redo your strokes. Your creations can be exported as images or as PDF files.

Skew can be whatever you need it to be. You’re able to import any photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. You can then correct your photo by adjusting its rotation, curvature, and skew via sliders and draggable points. You can also use Skew to completely change the look of your photo and add a whole new perspective using the same tools. Skew includes a variety of ratios to choose from along with the ability to flip photos.

You’re able to add as many different tasks as you want to track and activate them whenever necessary. When adding an activity you’re able to title it, determine its position in the hierarchy, give it a short name, and choose a color. Then when you need to track your time spent, just tap the play button. You’re able to edit and comment on each task’s recorded event. You’re also able to view your time spent on tasks in chart form and any upcoming tasks. The app includes iCloud support, data filters, and the ability to generate and share reports.
