You may not realize it, but your cadence could be having an adverse effect on your running. But don’t worry, RunCadence is here to help! First, you’ll want to learn your cadence by running at a consistent, moderate intensity for one full minute. The app will then provide you with a cadence summary, which will help improve your running by reducing shock impact. The next time you go for a run, set your target cadence and monitor to the best of your ability. You’ll see results in no time.

If you’re a frequent runner, download RunCadence today. You’ll be surprised how much it can help.

It doesn’t have any additional features such as route tracking.

Half Note Labs

InTune will help develop a discerning ear.

It’s for parents with children who are interested in the music arts.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

InTune was designed to do one thing and do it well. The app presents a pair of pitches. Your child must decide if the second pitch is higher or lower than the first. They must continue on until three questions have been answered incorrectly, after which they will be presented with their final score. Research has shown that the more someone uses InTune, the better their ear will be, so keep practicing! InTune also includes four modes, and leaderboards in order to add a layer of competition.

If your child or student is interested in music, develop their abilities with InTune. It’s both fun and educational.

The app is all about discerning pitches. You won’t find any music theory or similar educational elements here.

Why we picked this?

Sea of Squares is simple fun, and there’s nothing wrong with that! Each level presents you with a sea of squares that must be cleared. You’re able to remove them by tapping two or more adjacent squares of the same color. Every time you remove a set of squares the rest will squeeze in, creating new matches. When you near the end and can’t create a match, hit the reshuffle button and mix up the colors. You have a limited amount of reshuffles, so use them wisely. The game includes a total of 100 levels and three difficulty settings.

If you’re idea of fun is kicking your feet up with a good puzzle, this is your game. It has a simple concept and design, and yet it’s ridiculously addictive.

The later levels are quite challenging, and there's no way to skip them.
