Pocket Drive doesn’t require any setup. Your computer and your iDevice simply need to be on the same network. Your iDevice will show up in your Mac’s finder, and all you have to do is drag and drop files just as you would with any other storage device. Pocket Drive supports almost every file type, allows for unlimited files and subfolders, and includes AirPlay support.

Go head-to-head with Fiete and try to find matching pairs of cards. You and Fiete will take turns choosing cards, so you will want to pay close attention even while he takes his turn. The game isn’t just about matching identical cards, however. It includes a total of six game types, including trying to find logical relationships in cards and solving calculations.

Starseed: Origin is unabashedly retro. Everything from the visuals to the obscene difficulty level hails from gaming’s glory days. You’re able to pilot your ship by placing your finger anywhere on the screen. It’s then up to you to take out all of the enemy ships and asteroids standing in your way before setting your sights on the dreadnoughts. The game rewards you for stringing together combos, so take aim and climb those Game Center leaderboards. Starseed: Origin includes nine ships to unlock, nine chip tunes, and nine dreadnoughts to defeat.
