Math Puzzles for Kids Lite is an app with many good ideas but some major issues in terms of execution that can make it both boring and frustrating for the children who would benefit most from it. With performance issues related to the touch interface and limited gameplay options, it needs some upgrades before it can offer a truly engaging math experience.

Math Puzzles for Kids Lite comes with 36 puzzles including addition and subtraction, comparison problems, and logical thinking. The puzzles are all designed for early elementary and preschool-age children (as they learn math concepts), and the execution of … Read more

K9 Web Protection Browser attempts to fill the gap in Safari's access filters by providing a secondary browsing experience for children, combined with adjustment of some security settings. The built-in protection settings on an iPhone or iPad are fairly decent but are in some ways limited, especially for younger children. The Web browser in particular allows open access to the Internet if not filtered in some way. This is what K9 Web Protection Browser strives to fix.

The K9 browser looks identical to the Safari browser built into the iOS design, and while there are certainly some limitations as … Read more

Black & White Master takes one of the most frustrating components of photo editing on the iPhone and makes it as intuitive and easy to do as possible, using swipe and touch gestures built into the app's interface. It is not the best photo editing app on the App Store, but certainly a very fun one to use.

Black & White Master performs exactly as it sounds, allowing you to turn your photos into black & white images (or take new ones in black & white). When you open the app, you will select or take an image, and … Read more

Snap'd Us is a perfect tool for anyone that wants to take advantage of the surge in visual memes and share more images with their friends and family. It is easy to use, customizable, and doesn't try to do too much. Combined with a basic interface, it is a well constructed app for captioning photos.

Snap'd Us is not a feature-rich app, but what it does, it does well. Open the app and you can quickly take a photo with the "Camera" button. After taking a photo, it will automatically assign a caption to the … Read more

StashPixFree automatically recognizes faces on the screen and adds a mustache to them, even as the camera is moving. Such a concept could make for a fun app, but unfortunately StashPixFree never builds on this basic idea and the result is ultimately forgettable.

The app does nothing else, the interface is very limited, and the ads are intrusive, but the delivery of the primary draw in this app is well done. It effectively displays and tags each image with a classic curlicue mustache as you take the photos. Of course, being a one-trick app has its limitations. You cannot edit … Read more

PicsAround is a unique app that lets you explore an area of town using pictures. We were skeptical of what it could produce, but were pleasantly surprised by the historical landmarks it found.

Unsurprisingly, PicsAround needs to use your current location data to pull up pictures. Once we allowed the app to pull our data, it went to work finding fun places. We were actually out of town when we tested the app, and not in the most vibrant part of the city. We were curious to see what the app could find, and were surprised to find that it … Read more

While it attempts to deliver a high-quality golf simulation, Mini Golf Games 3D lacks the complete package to enable the user to fully enjoy it.

Even at a whopping 11MB, Mini Golf Games 3D loads fairly quickly. It is recommended that your device is connected to Wi-Fi in an effort to save data usage. The game's user interface is very intuitive. It includes a basic main menu that enables the user to pick a hole they wish to play. Eighteen holes are included in the game. The graphics include brilliant colors and 3D effects, but the animations seem choppy … Read more

Photo Collages Camera allows the user to create a collage of images and then share the finished product via e-mail or on some of the most popular social networking platforms. It also allows the user to edit photos and add some basic effects and decorate the image with text.

Photo Collages Camera offers a clean and professionally designed user interface. A black menu bar surrounds the central image and high contrast white lettering accents the menus. Since the user interface is very intuitive, most users will enjoy the ease in which they can navigate the program. Unlike most other photo … Read more

Functional for Mac streamlines access to certain functions, such as shutdown and restart, but offers little to appeal to most Mac users.

The installation folder of Functional for Mac contains a readme file with basic setup and user instructions, the application, and a link to more free apps available from the developer. By simply dragging the application's icon to the Dock you will complete the installation. The program has a basic function. Once installed in the Mac's Dock, the application allows the user to initiate log out, restart, shut down, and sleep, with one click. This saves a … Read more
