Why we picked this?

With After3D, anyone can create a 3-D design thanks to its unique interface. The screen is divided into two parts, with a preview of your model to the left and the drawing area to the right. The drawing area provides a simple 2-D view of your 3-D object. All you need to do is draw lines. The lines can be contorted and attached to each other to create the 3-D model. It’s surprisingly simple and effective. You’re able to share your creations as images or as files that 3-D printers can read.

If you’ve always wanted to try 3-D modeling, this is a great place to start. It provides a stress-free environment.

Its toolset is quite limited. You’ll only be able to create basic 3-D models.

Locate the hidden enemy ships in Warship Solitaire.

It’s for fans of logic puzzle games.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

In each game you’re presented with a grid that contains six hidden ships. Numbers across the bottom row and right side column indicate how many ship segments each includes. You must utilize these subtle hints in order to put together the puzzle and correctly mark every last enemy ship. Each of the more than 125 puzzles are solvable without any guessing.

If you love puzzles, you have to give Warship Solitaire a try. It’s like a game of Battle Shipped wrapped within a puzzle package.

This isn’t a fast-paced action puzzler. You’ll need to take your time and think things through. And if you find yourself stuck, you’ll have to use some hints. Additional hints are available via in-app purchase.

Turn your everyday photos into colorful blurred images with Blurify.

It’s designed for anyone who wants to use their own photos as wallpapers.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Blurify is remarkably easy to use yet its results are unmatched. Pick a photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. Then tug at the sliders that are popping out from the right side of the screen to adjust the blur, saturation, color, and contrast levels. Not really sure what you’re trying to achieve? Don’t worry, just give your iDevice a shake and have Blurify randomize the sliders.

If you enjoy that fuzzy, blurry look, you’re going to love the results you get with Blurify. Unlike similar apps, there’s very little or even no discernible banding when you blur your photos.

Blurify lacks editing options like the ability to crop your photo on your own. You’ll have to do all of that outside of the app.

The object of the game is to connect all of the dots in each puzzle without reusing any completed paths. Just tap to pick a point and tap another to connect them. The game includes more than 950 puzzles, a glowing neon theme, animated solutions, and achievements via Game Center.

If you like puzzles, go ahead and eat your heart out in Glow Puzzle. 950. That’s a lot.

It’s the same concept over and over, just more challenging, so it can get it a little tiresome.
