Diabetes Diary helps put your health first. It allows you to record glucose readings, carb intake, and insulin doses throughout the day. Each recording can include a customizable timestamp and note as well. You’re able to get an overview of the past seven days, and view all of the information on an easy to read chart. The app also supports mmol/L and mg/dL, the ability to export data, and the ability to backup data via Dropbox.

Unlike similar finance apps, 5coins doesn’t try to do it all. Instead, it focuses on just what you spend on a daily basis. No jumping through multiple screens to perform a single task. Just swipe down on the screen to enter a value and attach a note. The app will keep a running total of everything you’ve spent, and you can view your expense history with an upward swipe. 5coins is able to alert you when you’re spending too much and have a chance of going over-budget.

Sprocket is the perfect game for those brief moments of downtime. Tap anywhere on the screen to move from one rotating pod to the next. Each successful transfer counts as one point. If you land on the space between the pods, it’s game over. If you take too long to move away from the center, it’s game over. Little white dots on pods act as power-ups, which can award you bonus points and slow things down to help move from pod to pod. The game includes two difficulty settings.

The stakes are high in Majotori. Lariat the witch appears to grant you a wish, but only if you win at a game of trivia. Lose, and only bad things will happen. You’re presented with a series of 10 geeky questions. The more you answer correctly, the higher your chance of succeeding. In story mode, you’ll come across 25 diverse characters and more than 50 branching storylines. You’re also able to answer the more than 1,000 questions without participating in the story mode if you prefer.
