Amazon Fire Free App of the Day: Riptide GP2 and bonus app UltraFlow!

Today's Free App of the Day is Riptide GP2
Originally $2.99

This was previously the Free App of the Day on March 23, 2014 and again on January 1, 2015. While I don't really mind repeats, this seems to be a little soon for a three-peat. !!! Anyway, it's a good-enough racing game using jet-skis. I get easily frustrated with these, but if these types of games appeal to you, I think you'll like it. Ran well on my Fire HDX.

965 of 1076 reviews are four stars and above.

So we have a bonus pick: ULTRAFLOW.

I recently found this for my iPad and enjoyed it so much I went to see if it was available for the Fire. And it was, yay!!! It's an arcade game. Kinda-sorta. Each level, you get an increasingly complex obstacle course of dots, bars and arrows which may or may not be moving and which sometimes have special attribues. The goal is to flick your playing piece, a small circle, through the obstacle course, bouncing off or passing through the course to the target, where it will be sucked in if it gets close enough. You have to get there within a set number of bounces. I found this quite enjoyable--I'm up to level 45 now. Some of the levels are quite challenging--it's often just the matter of a degree or so in the angle you choose to flick your playing piece.

16 of 17 reviews are four stars and above.

Kindle Fire Free App of the Day: Drawing Pad

Today's Free App of the Day is Drawing Pad
Originally $1.99

This is a basic but attractive art program, probably most appropriate for younger artists. It has several different tools--pencil, crayon, brushes in two sizes, markers, stamps and stickers that you can add, stretch and lock in place. You can undo. You can share to email, Facebook and other apps you have installed on your device. You can save your creation to an album or to your photo gallery on your device. (Access the Album on the Home screen--get there by tapping the home icon within a project.) The major complaint is the inability to change the width of lines drawn by individual tools. For serious art, this is a valid concern and is the reason I think this app is more suitable for younger artists. Previously the Free App of the Day in December 2011, and perhaps since then, but that's when I got it.

761 of 906 reviews are four stars and above.

So we have a bonus pick: Autodesk SketchBook.

As an alternative, this is a slightly more "serious" drawing app without the stamps and stickers of the other app and more choices for tools that let you control the line you are drawing (though you cannot change the line width on individual tools).

51 of 80 reviews are four stars and above.

Amazon Fire Free App of the Day: Whip Swing!

Today's Free App of the Day is Whip Swing!
Originally $0.99

This is a cute and simple platformer. I like it much better than the average review would indicate. From the reviews, it's not for everyone, but I liked it. You try to use your whip, Indiana Jones-style, to swing from branches along the top of the screen. The goal is to go as far as possible before missing, with a secondary goal to gain as much speed as possible. Both distance and speed are tracked. I think it's a great time waster while standing in line or on a phone call. There's a bit of cartoon gore when you miss and your character falls onto the spikes at the bottom of the screen. Plays in only one landscape mode; plays in airplane mode, though achievements and leaderboards aren't available when you do. It will remember your last high score. Quit by using the side menu "back" button until you are asked if you are sure you want to quit. Quits cleanly at that point. I say it's worth a try--it's free. If you don't like it, you can remove it from your account.

8 of 19 reviews are four stars and above.

Amazon Fire Free App of the Day: Elements of Photography Pro

Today's Free App of the Day is Elements of Photography Pro
Originally $3.50

This was a Free App of the Day back in November 2014 and is currently one of the Free App of the Day bundle mentioned yesterday. There are also a bunch of jigsaw puzzles apps available for free on that day; you can find them at the same link. This app is a very well reviewed photography instructional app. If you are interested in learning more about photography, this is a good freebie!

Today's Free App of the Day is Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Today's Free App of the Day is Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Originally $2.99

OK, this is a sequel to Five Nights at Freddy's. Apparently, the goal is to survive five nights in this creepy environment. You have to watch out for killer stalking animatrons. You have a flashlight to check for animatrons in your room; use it sparingly. When you see one, you put on a bear mask using the red button--it scares the animatron away. You also have to keep winding up a music box in another room to keep that creature calm. If you make it to 6AM, you've made it through the night. There are two other Freddy games--the first, and Freddy 3. Both are available for $2.99, links below.

1688 of 1922 reviews are four stars and above.

Today's Fire Free App of the Day: Knots 3D

Today's Free App of the Day is Knots 3D
Originally $1.99

This is another repeat of a Free App of the Day, from September 2014. It's a well-reviewed app on how to tie knots. Several reviews cite using it to teach scout troops. I don't see any consistent complaints about permissions--there are some from very old reviews, but nothing current.  If you need to learn to tie knots, this looks like a good one!

488 of 582 reviews are four stars and above.

Today's Fire Free App of the Day is HIdden Objects - Ireland Adventures & Object Time Puzzle Games

Today's Free App of the Day is Hidden Objects - Ireland Adventures & Object Time Puzzle Games
Originally $0.99

This is a basic hidden object game in honor of St Patrick's Day. Per the product page and the reviews, you can zoom in but will have to pan some to see the whole screen even if you don't zoom. The graphics are crisp. A worthy addition if you like hidden object puzzles.

Get ready to ride down the slopes at extreme speed and catch some big air to perform the craziest tricks in 15 completely unique adrenaline-filled locations.

Today's Free Fire App of the Day: Bag It! And bonus app: RGB Express - Mini Truck Puzzle

Today's Free App of the Day is Bag It!
Originally $1.99

This is apparently a cute game with real issues as far as privacy and in-app purchases, according to reviewers. From the product page: Bag It! is the exciting grocery-bagging puzzle game that will open your eyes to a whole new world inside your shopping bag. These watermelons, eggs, and baguettes have real personality--it's like Tetris meets Toy Story. To add to the fun, Spilt, Sunshine, and all their friends are celebrating Valentine's Day with new holiday-themed visual effects and other Valentine's Day secrets. I recommend reading the reviews and seeing if you can live with the permissions/in-app purchases. In the meantime, we have a KBAAD*

1143 of 1287 reviews are four stars and above.

So we have a bonus pick: RGB Express - Mini Truck Puzzle.

This is a path-puzzler--you have to draw the path that the delivery truck or trucks must travel to pick up the packages. When there are multiple trucks, you can't cross paths. It comes with three hints; you must buy additional hints if you need them and you can buy additional levels. There is a small ad at the top of the page; it's a little more intrusive than ads at the bottom, but I got used to it. The fact that there are no one-and two-star apps makes me wonder about the reviews...but I did play it and it's a pleasing game. I'll give it four stars.

35 of 35 reviews are four stars and above.

Today's Free Fire App of the Day is PUZZINGO Christmas Puzzles for Kids and Toddlers (Premium)

Today's Free App of the Day is PUZZINGO Christmas Puzzles for Kids and Toddlers (Premium)
Originally $1.99

This is a well reviewed holiday-themed app for young kids. From the product page: The Christmas Holidays Puzzles game contains a couple hundred pieces. The child gets to build Santa Claus’ Workshop, play snowball fight, deliver presents to kids around the world, pop fireworks, ride Santa’s sleigh, celebrate the New Year, and more. Your child will not only enjoy playing this app, he will also be introduced to the many aspects of the Holidays seasons. Haven't tried this, but it sounds good!

Today's Kindle Fire Free App of the Day: Quick TimeTable Pro and MyHomework Student Planner

Today's Free App of the Day is Quick TimeTable Pro
Originally $1.00

This is an app to keep track of your daily schedule by the hour. Good for people who have class schedules or anyone who needs to schedule regular daily events. (Though I would probably just do this on my calendar. But perhaps you have a busy shared calendar and want to keep your class schedule separate.) I wish there was a way to move a "class" or scheduled item from one time to a different time by dragging or cut and paste. As far as I could tell, you have to delete the item and then recreate it somewhere else. Nor is there a way to designate recurring items. So if you have American History three days a week, you have to add it to the three days. Though once you have American History as one of your subjects, you can just pick it from a list to add it to other days or different times. Really, I'm not sure why anyone would need this app, but if you need something like this, it's okay. Three stars from me. Because I think it's kind of lame, I found an alternate app.

3 of 3 reviews are four stars and above.

So we have a bonus pick: myHomework Student Planner.

This app lets you set a schedule (though once it's set, it's not quite as pretty and clean as Quick TimeTable Pro.) But you can set recurring classes very easily; setting and changing the time is easy. It also lets you track homework, and, apparently will connect in with a system that some teachers/school systems use. The only thing I didn't like was you had to login with either Facebook or directly to the site, and if you don't use FB, it asks for your gender and age (I apparently now have a 13 year old son). Ads were not intrusive but there is supposed to be a premium account, though I couldn't access it through the app and it doesn't appear to be available in the App Store.

Kindle Fire Free App of the Day (August 8, 2014): Zooistry

Today's Free App of the Day is Zooistry
Originally $0.99

This is a game where you match pairs on a rotating 3D cube to clear the field. Tapping on the animal shown plays an appropriate animal noise. I agree with one reviewer who said he turned down the animal sounds--though if you're playing with a young child, he or she might like the sounds and not the music. And if you're playing in "stationary camera" mode, the ability to hear the animal sounds helps when you can just barely see the cubes you want to choose. You can use the eye icon in the lower right hand corner to square a side; you can use the paw icon to pause the timer. Paw - pause, get it? LOL! There are also two other variations on the game. Zoo attack where you start with just a few cubes and try to keep up as more are added Stationery camera lets you work from one point of view only--that's tough! It's a fun little game. Playable in airplane mode.
