Why we picked this?

Fox Eats Chicks places you right at the top of the food chain. Take control of a cunning fox, and move swiftly through each level gobbling up every bird in sight. Not all of the birds are in view, so you’ll have to search around and use your stealth abilities to hunt down each one. Move quickly because your rating is based purely on speed. The game includes a total of 85 levels.

You’re a fan of twitchy platform games.

You’re impatient. The directional pad can take some getting used to, and you will need to be a master at it to earn a perfect rating.

Why we picked this?

Jotalicious allows you to create lists just like you’re jotting down notes. The first line you type will turn into your list name. Each additional line will be an item on that list. The best part is, you don’t even have to type out your lists. You can dictate items on your list by saying an item name and “New Line” after each item. It really speeds up the process. Jotalicious also allows you to attach amounts to items, define the store the item is located at, and categorize items.

You need a better way to organize your shopping lists. It’s like magic.

You want to sync your lists across devices. It also doesn’t have native iPad support.

Why we picked this?

ABC Star will put your child on the right path. You’re able to select from three lessons: Uppercase, Lowercase, and Numbers. Then hand your iPad off and allow your child to trace what’s in front of them using visual and audio cues. As they progress, a little egg in the corner of the screen will slowly grow and eventually hatch at the end. The app also allows you to skip ahead to any letter or number you like, and includes multiple colors to choose from.

You want to give your child a head start.

You’re looking for more options like the ability to practice words or cursive letters.
