Our favorite iOS Apps, April edition
Summary
MC Esher, meet Sword and Sworcery: Monument Valley ($4) is a delightfully odd puzzle game with brain-bending architecture and a sweet, slightly twisted soundtrack. You take the form of Ida, a tiny pixel princess in white, as she traverses the (not quite) abandoned ruins of a most unusual series of buildings, castles, and other magic delights. Tocomail (free; subscription for additional features) aims to ease these fears by introducing children to email via a safe, secure system that parents can monitor and supervise. Tocomail is free, but a $30-per-year subscription gives you additional features, such as an expanded approved-contact list, a parental quarantine mailbox for messages from non-approved senders; a profanity filter; and an automated “bullying” monitor. The app is a little too simplistic at times, and a few of the interface decisions could use some refinement, but it’s a nice system that lets your kids learn about email in a safe, monitored environment.—DAN FRAKES What is there left to say about Good.iWare’s GoodReader ($5)?
