Why we picked this?

If you're like most of iPhone users, you enter a new contact when needed and never think much more about the entry from there. However, on occasion, you may realize, somehow, your address book contains two entries of the same person or lacks a photo so that you can easily recognize who it is. These instances are when Simpler can bring a huge relief. Once authorized to access your current address book, Simpler identifies any redundant people and offers to merge the entries as well as can recognize if an entry is missing a portrait photo, then offers one up from another source, such as Facebook -- after asking for access permission, of course. Lastly, you can further protect your data or share it in bulk by allowing Simpler to export or backup the contacts database, either to Simpler’s secure servers, another popular cloud service, or just transferring the data using email.

You add and delete contacts here and there but never review your address book.

You have only a few contacts, or are completely comfortable with Apple's included Contacts features.

Collect energy crystals to expand your army and the bolts from your fallen enemies to upgrade units. The game includes 100 levels, 40 robot types including classics from the original game, 20 mini-games, and iCloud support.

You enjoy your strategy games on the lighthearted side. It has Mario- esque characters to go along with its vibrant environments.

Why we picked this?

In Motorsport Manager, strategy is key. Make the wrong move and your entire team will fail. As the boss, your job is to hire drivers, develop your car, invest in technology, and formulate a pitstop plan. Then put your car and driver on the track and watch the race play out in-real time. If you like, you can be even more hands-on during the race by jumping into the strategy screens to react to weather changes, crashes, and safety car periods.

You enjoy the ins and outs of managing a team.

You want to actually race a Formula 1 car. You’re never in direct control.
