Everything is aligned with the core standards, so you can be sure that this gives your little learner a head start on their knowledge journey.

Goo: Slime Simulator

We could all do with a little stress-breaking goo, but what if you don’t like the idea of it getting stuck in your carpet? There’s an app for that now, and you can turn your smartphone screen into a pretty realistic stretchy slime simulation, so you get all the gooey, gushing fun without the mess. The app also has ASMR and nature sound sections, but they’re less fun – stretch that mud!
Android | ios
Bazaart
The Bazaart photo editor and graphic design app make it easy to remove the background without having to struggle with a more complicated app. You can also subscribe to the premium version for $ 3.99 per month, but you probably won’t need the pro features because the basic free version has some really good stuff.
Android | ios
Memes maker

Android
Olauncher

Everyone might be talking about iOS 14 and reskinning their iPhone, but we all know Android had this feature first. The latest launcher to hit the Google Play Store is Olauncher, a minimal launcher that reduces your cluttered app drawer to a list of app names, on daily soothing wallpapers. Pleasant.
Android
Oslo
Okay, this isn’t strictly an app, but if you’re a video creation team now working completely remotely due to the pandemic, you’ll want to check this out. Oslo is a centralized hub for collaboration on video editing projects, allowing you to upload footage to the cloud and then have the team add annotations and comments to the images, so you can edit without long email chains. This is really quite impressive from the team at Streamlabs, allowing real-time collaboration on the cheap.
