Earthlapse provides you with a whole different view of our beautiful planet. You’re able to swipe across the screen or just allow the planet to rotate all on its own. Seven stunning views are available, and while you gawk at the blue dot, you’re able to listen to eight relaxing space soundtracks. Earthlapse also doubles as a nice weather station and desktop clock.

Put on a nice set of headphones, sit back and relax, and hit play. Deep Sleep Aid will produce relaxing background music for you to ease into. You’ll then hear a female or male narrator guide you to sleep. The track is about 30 minutes in length and can be looped in case you need more time. Every morning you’re able to rate your sleep and take notes if necessary.

It takes mere seconds to record a transaction in DayCost. Just swipe down on the screen, pick a category, enter an amount, and swipe up to record.

It also includes passcode protection, iCloud support, and the ability to create custom categories.

Henry’s granddad has been accused of being a pirate and has been condemned to death as a result. It’s up to you to help Henry collect the tools that will save his granddad while uncovering all sorts of secrets buried in exotic locations. Each scene has a variety of objects to discover, and the faster you work, the more points you’ll score. Just try to avoid mindlessly tapping the screen, as it will freeze up and cost you valuable time. Bandits will also enter the scene at random, and you must tap on them to fire and protect yourself to earn extra hints.

Your child is also able to create models on their own and share them with the world.
