No matter how big or small the idea, Dream-X will help you realize it in visual form. You’re able to choose from two different themes and then get right to your mind mapping. Start off with a single idea and then branch out from there. You’re able to create new branches by selecting the idea you want them to branch off from and then tapping and holding on a spot on the screen. Each branched off idea can be color coded, include photo and message, include a task or subtask, and sport an icon. You’re able to freely rearrange your ideas just by dragging them around the canvas. You’re also able to export your mind maps and share them via email. The app includes tutorial videos and samples to help you get started.

Muse is void of confusing menus and obtrusive options. All that you’ll see at first are camera, pencil, and microphone icons across the top. Choose the type of entry you want to make and get to it. The rest of the screen will then be populated with whatever you create. That’s all there is to it. The app also includes the ability to passcode protect your journal and sync it via iCloud.

You don’t have to be a talented artist to make inspiring comics with Comics Head. Simply start off by selecting panels for your comic or choose one of the built-in templates. Then utilize more than 3,500 art assets to flesh out your comic including symbols, characters, props, and so much more. If you have something specific in mind, you can capture a screenshot or import images from the web. All objects can be repositioned, flipped, duplicated, and cropped. You’re able to add speech bubbles with text or inscribe your voice with recorded audio to add some context to your story. Comics Head allows you to share comics via your favorite social media networks, via YouTube, or simply export them as an image or PDF.

Pixel Boat Rush requires you to not only race but also destroy your opponents. Touch the right side of the screen to accelerate across the choppy waters. It’s in your best interest to stay close to the water, but you will need to utilize waves to clear obstacles. The left side of the screen is devoted to your weapons and defenses, which can be upgraded along the way. The game includes 15 tracks, 116 events, 64 unlockable and customizable boats, and MFi controller support.
