Why we picked this?

Pokerrrr is free today to celebrate the release of the developer’s latest app, Donkey League Poker. Check it out now in the App Store. This is about as close to playing with real cards as you can get. The game plays a little differently depending upon what types of iDevices you have sitting around. If you only have iPhones, one will act as the host device. Everyone else will connect to it and will be able to see the community cards on their own screens along with the cards in their hand. Cards can be interacted with and peeked at with a swipe. If you have an iPad, it’s pretty much the same process except that the community cards will be shown only on the iPad and all other of the players will be able to utilize their iDevices as just their hand of cards. The game includes a handful of customization options as well.

If you and your friends love playing poker, you need to download Pokerrrr today. You’ll be having a lot more poker nights, we promise.

The single player mode is severely lacking. It is best played with friends.

Why we picked this?

Leo and his father headed to the grocery store to pick up some items for breakfast. During their impromptu trip they came across a very large carton of eggs and just had to buy them, but what was inside was more than they bargained for. The app includes 23 pages full of interactive surprises, and the ability to follow along with a professional narrator.

If your child loves to read, download Dino-Store for them today. It’s whimsical, creative, and beautifully illustrated.

It’s aimed at children under the age of 10.

Radian - Puzzles with a Twist

Grand Unified LLC

Spin rings to clear the colored blocks in this mesmerizing puzzle game.

It’s for fans of logic games like Rubik’s Cube.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

Radian is one of those puzzle games that’s easy to learn but difficult to master. The objective is simple enough, requiring you to spin rings of blocks in order to match them to the core color and remove them. All connected blocks will be removed when matched, not just those in vertical or horizontal rows. This allows you to create big combos and earn more points by reducing your amount of spins. The game includes 100 handmade puzzles, an arcade mode, and an infinite mode.

If you’re at all interested in casual puzzle games, you have to check out Radian. The snazzy visuals will draw you in, but the gameplay will keep you coming back for more.

The game lacks online leaderboards. If you like competing with friends on Game Center, this isn’t the game for you.

Clone yourself or anything else with Clone Magic.

It’s ideal for iPhoneographers who don’t have a cloning app in their collection.

Why we picked this?

Clone Magic is all about having fun with your photos. You’re able to take new photos manually or by using the self timer. You have to take at least two quality photos for the effect to work, but you’re able to use up to six at once. Then just outline the subject in each of your photos, and Clone Magic will grab your outlines and put them over the top of your base photo. You can crop and apply filters to your final creation before sharing it via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or email.

If you want to impress your friends with your photos, Clone Magic will help you accomplish that. It’s one of the easier to use cloning apps available in the App Store, allowing you to get your desired results with little effort.

All cloning apps require some tinkering. If you are the type of person who lacks patience for tinkering with photos, you’ll probably want to skip this and all other cloning apps.
