Before you sharpen your pitchfork, and light your stick, hear me out. BitTorrent, which is one of the most known clients to download stuff from, let’s say, the bay were pirates reside, has released a tool which users can use to easily share photos, and videos, with friends.

If you’re into music making, and want to push this forward to your children, Loopimal is the best sequencer for your younglings. Tapping on dancing animals will create sounds, subsequently tunes. It’s accessible, but it does require a little bit of cleverness, and creativity. To be honest, you can be a new-comer to the sequencer medium and still enjoy the app, regardless of your age.

If you tend to slouch, and have a bad posture, Lumo Lift will alert you of your wrong doings. It has to be paired with a physical tracking device – a wearable if you will. Lumo Lift also tracks your steps.

Android and iOS Games

Angry Birds Fight

Angry Birds doesn’t need an introduction – everybody knows about this worldwide phenomenon. Angry Birds Fight on the other-hand isn’t that well known. It pairs the puzzle system of Candy Crush, and the fighting system of, well, every card fighting game out there. You may be sick and tired of Angry Birds, but Angry Birds Fight is a different beast.

Her Story

From the genius mind of Sam Barlow, Her Story transports the player in a eerie, and dark world. The thing that fascinates me about Her Story is that it blends puzzle mechanics, with a catchy, and confusing, story. In 1994, a woman is brought to the police for to be interviewed – she’s the prime suspect in her husband’s disappearance. But, did she really do it? Or is she a misunderstood girl? Your job, of course, is to find out the truth. Trust me, it’s not that easy. You have to search for VHS tapes in an old, and crummy database through certain keywords, and phrases. Highly addicting!

• Platform – iOS
• Price –  $4.99

Tiki Taka Soccer

If you love charming, and quite soccer games, I highly recommend Tiki Taka Soccer. I was sick and tired of EA’s Fifa on mobile. Tiki Taka Soccer is highly addictive, and quite entertaining. It resembles Sensible Soccer.

You Must Build a Boat 

Welp, doh, this game is clearly about building a boat, but it doesn’t limit players to just that. You need to fend off invading monsters, gather a crew, and spew spells. It’s a puzzle adventure mobile game, and while it sounds complicated and hard, I assure you, it’s one of the easiest fun mobile games out there.

Fallout Shelter

To prepare Fallout fans for the upcoming Fallout game, Bethesda developed this sweet mobile game. Unfortunately, it’s only available for iOS at the current time, but Bethesda has reassured Android users that it will eventually come to their OS too. You build an underground shelter, and you need to keep everyone happy with a plethora of jobs, and activities.

Lego Minifigures Online

While it ain’t the Minecraft-killer it’s definitely worth playing. I’ve tested the PC version relentlessly. Sure, it doesn’t replace Minecraft, but thank God for that. Nobody would have wanted to play a clone. It’s another kind of beast. It’s fun, and super-easy to use. Although I highly recommend it to children, old guys, and girls like myself can have tons of fun too!

• Platform – Android and iOS
• Price – $5 – ( It has In App Purchases)

Vainglory

I know, it has a stupid name, but put that aside for a second. It’s a huge online battle arena where players can pummel each-other in three vs three matches. It was initially released for iOS. Android just got its version.

• Platform – Android and iOS
• Price –  Freemium

Freak Circus Racing

If you’re like me, you prefer cartoonish styled racing games over real simulators any day of the week. Freak Circus Racing is that plus a little bit of going overboard. It’s filled with absurdly fun characters, and things to do.

• Platform – Android and iOS
• Price –  Freemium

Dragon Quest VI

It may be quite expensive for a mobile game, but this one has been developed by the mighty Square Enix. Dragon Quest is basically this huge RPG with a dizzying variety of heroes to choose from, and a plethora of vocations to opt-in. The battle system is considered to be one of the best.

• Platform – Android and iOS
• Price –  $12

Hexderity

Hexderity is an amazing indie game that will test your reflexes, and memory. As you may have figured out already, you need to match hex pieces. It’s charming, and visually stunning.
