Just in case you wanted to ruin your friendships from a distance, Uno has it’s own app with all new rules. Play with friends from all over the world, do 2v2 mode or even compete in tournaments- the app is relatively free and family friendly— until someone draws the +4 card, that is.

Interested in meditating and getting into a more enlightened state of mind?

Working from home and struggling to actually focus? Flat Tomato is a great time management app that breaks your work into small sections of 20-30 minutes. That means you have time to focus and grind it out, while also getting small breaks between. The app has its own calendar for you to customize, and has a great layout, making it easier than ever to actually get work done.
For those who are interested in decision-based games, BitLife is a really extreme and funny look into how you can shape someone’s life from birth. Starting with a baby, your life decisions (and some randomly generated ones) will help decide if you end up a millionaire, successfully married and living until 110 years old, or end up running your own prison gang after getting arrested for dumping trash on your neighbor’s lawn. Hey, it happens. This real life simulator game is free, but does offer some in-app purchases.
