Intro to Colors includes a variety of activities that will introduce your child to the world of colors. The app will teach your child the basic foundation of colors, primary and secondary colors, and color shades and gradients through interactive activities. They’ll also be able to paint and create their own colors, and participate in a seek and find game.

PixelWakker allows you to import any photo from your library or capture a new one from within the app. You can then choose from 20 different pixel art effects. You’re able to independently adjust the frequency and intensity of each effect via sliders. Your final creations can be saved or shared via your favorite social networks.

My Monster Mayhem is loaded with interactive elements and delightful rhyming text. Your child can follow along with one of the two narrators, or they can enjoy the tale all on their own. Each of the 21 pages is filled with fun interactive elements that will move and make noises. Your child can also spend time trying to find the toy monsters hidden within the story to unlock a bonus game.

Each level includes a single flame, movable pieces, and very little room to operate in. It’s up to you to slide the pieces every which way in order to create a path from the frozen key to the flame. Levels aren’t timed, but your moves will be counted. The game includes a total of 100 levels.

BusyCal provides a powerful and flexible way to stay on top of your busy schedule. It’s able to tap into iCloud, Google Calendar, Exchange, Office 365, and other CalDav servers in order to sync your calendar. You’re able to view events by day, week, or month, or turn them into a list. Events can be created using natural language, and they can be tagged for quick discovery. You’re also able to manage your tasks, view travel times and location data, and even get a weather forecast.
