Taijitu: A Game About Balance

particlemade

Keep everything in balance in Taijitu.

It’s for casual puzzle game fans.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Taijitu is inspired by the mythology of yin and yang. The screen is divided into two sections by a white line with shapes on each side. The shapes that are pulsing are the ones that can be swapped with a tap. The idea is to balance the two sides by ensuring the colors are equally distributed. The game includes more than 100 levels that become progressively more complicated.

Taijitu is about as zen as puzzle games get. If you’re looking for something relaxing, check it out.

It’s a slow burn. You won’t find any timers or competitive elements here.

Keep track of all of your shows with checkTrakt.

It’s for those who follow multiple TV series.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

You’ll need a trakt.tv account to fully utilize checkTrakt, so make sure to sign up for a free one using the link within the app. You’re then able to add shows to your already watched collection or those you want to see. checkTrakt provides you with the tools to discover new content based on personal recommendations and what is trending, or you can just search for something specific. The app also provides detailed episode information, allows you to share what you’re watching via your favorite social networks, and alerts you when a new episode of your favorite show is about to air.

If you watch so many TV series that you can’t keep track of their air times, this is the app for you.

The fact that you have to sign up for an account may turn some users off.

Trigger Points - Guide & Reference

Body Culture

Find and relieve sources of chronic pain using myofascial trigger points with this health app.

Your pain areas don’t stand a chance.

$3.99 $3.99
Why we picked this?

We really like this app because it makes it easy to discover and relieve pain using trigger points even if you know nothing about skeletal muscles. You’re able to hunt down specific muscles or simply point to areas of pain to discover what’s causing it and how to fix it. The app includes over 80 muscles with more than 150 trigger points, so you will be able to relieve everything from tennis elbow to abdominal pain.

If you suffer from any type of chronic muscle pain, you’ll want to check this app out. A tutorial will walk you through the interface in a concise manner, ensuring you discover and relieve your pain as quickly as possible.

If the pain you’re feeling is beyond the muscles, you’re going to have to look elsewhere for relief. Trigger Points solely focuses on myofascial soft tissue therapy.

Data Widget - 3g/4g/5g data

Jerry Jee

Check your data usage from the Today view or your wrist with Data Widget.

It’s for those who are always worried about going over their data cap.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Data Widget is so simple yet so effective. Launch the app, set your data cap, set your start and end date, and record any usage you may already have. Then swipe down to bring up Notification Center and add the widget by tapping the “Edit” button found all the way at the bottom. After that, any time you want to check your current data usage in real-time, just swipe down. You can also now check your usage via Apple Watch.

If you have a low data cap, check out Data Widget. It makes it easy to monitor your usage.

If you don’t care all that much about your data usage, Data Widget isn’t necessary.

Runtastic Mountain Bike PRO

runtastic

Keep track of your mountain bike rides with this health and fitness app.

Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro is great for AppsGoneFree users that enjoy hitting the trails.

$3.99 $3.99
Why we picked this?

Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro’s real-time data is second to none. You won’t find a more accurate ride tracking app in the App Store. It’s able to record your trip, duration, distance, altitude, and calories burned. If you’re going for a ride in an area with poor cellular coverage, you can choose to download map data ahead of time for offline viewing. The app even includes weather data, Pebble support, voice detection, and automatic pause detection.

Whether you hit the trails or go for a spin around the house, Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro has you covered. All of the data can be synced online and shared with others, so you won’t have to take your journey alone.

Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro can be a data and battery hog. If either of those things are always in the back of your mind, you may want to skip downloading Runtastic Mountain Bike Pro.

Week Calendar Widget Pro

Crater Tech LLC

View all of your calendar events from the Today view with Week Widget.

It’s for those who are always looking for new ways to save some time.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Week Widget isn’t a standard calendar app in any way, shape, or form. It taps into your iDevice’s native calendar app in order to populate a Today view widget with everything that’s coming up on your schedule. When you launch the app itself, you’re greeted with ways to customize the look and content of the widget. Week Widget includes a day timeline, a week timeline, and the ability to scroll through days and weeks.

If you’re always in a hurry, Week Widget is the calendar app for you. It easily handles complicated events that overlap, and assigns colors to allow for quick discovery.

If you’re not at least running iOS 8, this app won’t work.
