Why we picked this?

Join the last remaining robots on a quest to rebuild their civilization in a mysterious new solar system. The only problem is, you and your robots are stuck in the middle of a war that could determine the future of the entire galaxy. You must build up a massive army of customizable robots by mining resources, and then unleash them upon the hordes of aliens. You’re able to assist your robots by blasting the aliens with your customizable Stellar Fighter. The game features a crazy mix of strategy and action within the massive campaign mode, so there will never be a dull moment. It also includes 10 planets to explore, 50 levels, 12 customizable robots, 30 enemies, 10 bosses, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Few games are able to combine action and strategy so well on a mobile platform, so if you like your gameplay varied, you need to at least give Stellar Wars a try.

Due to the unique gameplay, it can take a bit to get used to the setup of the battles. Hang in there.

If you’re a fan of classic tower defense gameplay, check out Legendary Wars. It offers everything you want and then some.

Create beautiful paintings and sketches with MyBrushes Pro.

The app is designed for amateur and professional artists alike.

Why we picked this?

What sets MyBrushes Pro apart from other art creation apps is its powerful drawing and painting engine. Every stroke is fast and silky smooth, no matter if you’re looking for precision or filling in large sections of the canvas. By the way, the canvas is infinite as are the layers, allowing you to create quite complex pieces of art. MyBrushes Pro also includes more than 100 preset brushes to choose from.

No matter your skill level, if you like to paint or draw, check out MyBrushes Pro today. Its simple UI makes it easy to quickly get to and adjust all of your tools, because it’s all about the art after all.

If you prefer a large canvas, you may be disappointed to know that MyBrushes Pro isn’t a universal app. So if you want to draw and paint on your iPad, you will have to download a different app that will actually cost you money.
