It’s the weekend again people, and you know what that means—it’s time for another Apps of the Week roundup! This week we have some great picks for you including a powerful score-keeper, an app that guides you through carpal tunnel exercises, and a music app designed for kids. And as always, we’ve selected a fun game for you to check out.
Adderpad: Game Scorekeeper
I’m a sucker for a well-designed utility app with a singular purpose, and that’s what we have here with Adderpad. It’s a scorekeeper app for games of up to 4 people that require rapid scoring. This includes everything from card games like Cribbage and Hearts, to Farkle and Dominoes, to Settlers of Catan and Uno. It even works for sports and lawn games like Cornhole and Basketball. Ok, so it basically works with any game or sport you happen to be playing. But hey, kind of cool, right?
Carpal Tunnel Exercise
Here is an interesting app. In this day in age where we are constantly holding and handling devices, and typing on keyboards, carpal tunnel can be a real issue. It can cause weak grip, pain or numbness, pins and needles feeling and more in your wrist, hands and fingers. This app, as the name implies, is designed to help you perform carpal tunnel exercises accurately and effectively to ease some of its symptoms. It has interactive exercises, hand motion tracking, and reminders. Here is your obligatory disclaimer that this app is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment, but hey, maybe it can help in a pinch?
Muky
If you’re looking for a lightweight, user-friendly audio player specifically designed for kids, Muky seems like a nice option. It features Apple Music integration, guided access that ensures you child stays within the Muky app, and a dedicated admin area that lets you manage playlists, settings and controls. Your playlists can include songs, albums or audiobooks, and you can customize them with titles, colors and emoji to make them unique and fun for your kids.
Train: Connect the Tiles!
Put your skills to the test in Train: Connect the Tiles! It’s a captivating puzzle game that challenges you to connect tiles based on shared attributes to form a single Train Line. Whether you’re competing against friends in the free daily puzzle or enjoying a solo journey through one of the Challenge Packs, Train offers endless hours of fun. It’s kind of like dominoes, right? With an obvious twist due to the nature of the tiles. Oh, there’s also a Zen mode, which features relaxing puzzles you can do at your own pace—no limits or timers. Sounds like a good way to spend a relaxing Sunday.
