Why we picked this?

The beauty of Taps is in its simplicity. It features four different playing styles, all of which follow the same basic rule of tapping tiles to recreate a grid of numbers. Tap once to increase the value of a tile and its adjacent tiles. Tap again to decrease. That’s really all there is to it. The game includes four playing styles, 400 levels, and an infinite number of custom games.

You want to relax as you game. It’s totally chill.

You prefer the thrill of competition.

Why we picked this?

Based on the bestselling Blox 3D apps, this latest iteration opens a whole new world of creativity. Your child is able to start off with a blank canvas or they can choose from a variety of pre-built cities. Designing new structures and adding animated objects is as simple as tapping on an open spot within the world. Blox 3D City Creator includes everything from basic building blocks to animated vehicles. Your child can also change the time of day within their little world.

Your child is into building things. There aren’t any virtual currencies to be found or distracting elements; just pure creative fun.

You have a toddler. It doesn’t provide much direction and will most likely be a bit difficult for them to navigate.

Drift off to the sounds of the world around you with Sleep Sounds.

Anyone who needs a distraction.

Why we picked this?

Sleep Sounds allows you to browse through its collection of more than 50 looped sounds with a swipe. To save on storage space, the sounds need to be downloaded one by one. You can mark your favorites with a tap for quick access later on. The app also includes a sleep timer and an alarm.

You simply need a way to block out the world.

You’re picky. The sounds can’t be expanded upon and they can’t be mixed.

Get the ball into the bucket in Drop Flip Seasons.

Fans of the original physics-based puzzle game.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Drop Flip is back and better than ever. Like the original, Drop Flip Seasons requires you to get a single white ball into the bucket below by moving, flipping, and generally manipulating obstacles of all kinds of shapes and sizes. But don’t let the minimalist visuals fool you. The levels range from quite easy to maddeningly impossible.

Your idea of fun is crazy physics and complex gameplay.

You’re easily frustrated. Things can get difficult quickly.
