No matter how simple or complex the bill, SplitWizard will help ensure everyone pays their fair share. Start off by entering the total bill amount, how many people are included, and the quality of the service to determine the tip total. You’ll then see the amount everyone has to pay including tip. If you don’t want to deal with exact change, tap the up arrow in the bottom left corner to round up the bill. SplitWizard also allows you to split bills between multiple people with different expenses. It includes four currencies to choose from, two rounding options, and two decimal separation options.

If you need help calculating and keeping track of payments, Split Wizard is for you. It’s stylish and simple.

The app serves a very specific purpose. Of course, if that purpose doesn’t serve your needs, just skip it.

Chuck the Chicken is back and ready to go pool diving again in Drop The Chicken 2.

It’s for fans of physics puzzlers who have enjoyed games like Cut the Rope.

Why we picked this?

Chuck has been captured by an evil monkey ring master. To escape from the circus, you must help Chuck perform pool diving tricks while catching bugs along the way. While Chuck is on his platform, you’re required to move a wide variety of objects to ensure he safely lands in the pool. When you believe you have everything just right, flip the switch and see how he performs. The game includes 100 puzzles, five bonus levels, and in-game helping hands.

If charming characters and challenging puzzles are your thing, this is your game. It’s just like the original, but with more of everything.

The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly, so to achieve a perfect rating, you’re going to be replaying levels fairly often or using up all of your helping hands.

BendyBooth allows you to use 28 crazy effects to distort your face. The effects are applied in real-time, and you can adjust the position and intensity to ensure your photo or video comes out just right. The non-destructive editing also allows you to edit your face and voice even after you record. Captured clips can be sped or slowed down as well.

If you enjoy a good laugh, you have to download BendyBooth. The effects are quite ridiculous.

It’s amusing and lighthearted. It’s clearly not meant for anything else.
