If all you want is something to take your stress away, Sleep can help.

Wingman makes it easy to track your estimated blood alcohol content level. Simply enter your gender, age, height, and weight. Wingman will take care of the heavy lifting. Every time you have a beverage, simply tap one of the beverage icons at the bottom of the screen. You can tap and hold to specify the ABV as well. A handy Today widget allows you to quickly see your current EBAC level.

If you’re going out tonight to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, download Wingman and monitor your activity.

It’s just an estimation of your BAC level. Nothing is exact.

Dreamdays HD puts the events that are most important to you front and center. When creating a new countdown for an event you’re able to title and categorize it, set a date, and create a custom background. The app will then begin its countdown and send out a reminder as the day approaches. You will also see the event appear within Notification Center as the date approaches. You’re able to view all of your countdown cards at once, filter them out, or view them separately. The app also includes passcode protection, iCloud support, and the ability to share events.

Keep the focus on the positive things in your life with Dreamdays HD. It doesn’t have to be just for anniversaries and birthdays. It can be for anything that’s important to you.

If you prefer simple event tracking, stick with the native Calendar app.

If you need some time to yourself, spend it with Tesla Toy. Its colorful environment will get you back on track.

Tesla Toy is very similar to every other generative art app. If you’ve tried one, you’ve tried them all.

Plastic bottles are piling up all around the city, and a mean robot villain is growing more powerful from them.

The storybook lacks interactive scenes that usually go a long way in helping keep children engaged.
