ALONE
A game swipe
You need only one finger to play Alone, but it'd better be a quick one! This Apple devices application is a stylish take on the side-scroller or runner — the type of game where the landscape moves past you and players have to keep up or perish.
In Alone, players control a rocket ship, and must weave their way through obstacles such as asteroids, comets and the occasional stalactite. Users slide their finger back and forth to steer the ship up and down. The farther you travel, the more points you score.
The game requires quick reflexes, but it is easy to get the hang of Alone even within the first few seconds of play. And it has no in-app purchases, so you won't get pestered to buy any upgrades. $1.99, for iOS devices.
EVERNOTE FOOD
Recipe for storage
The note-keeping service Evernote is a great place to keep all the lists, articles and random flotsam you find on the Web for later. But with Evernote Food, the service becomes your personal digital recipe file — an update to the old system of clipping nice recipes from newspapers and magazines.
You can clip recipes from Web pages you search into an Evernote account, and the service automatically will recognise them and place them in the Evernote food app. You also can peruse recipes curated from the Web that Evernote Food shows you in the app.
The app also lets you store pictures of your latest avant garde entree, which you can tag to a specific restaurant on an in-app map. (It sounds goofy but can quickly become addictive.) And it also provides you with a basic list of restaurants near you, should you decide to share your location with the app.
Users will need a (free) Evernote account to use the service; existing Evernote users can link Evernote Food to their current accounts. Free, for iOS and Android. - Washington Post
