5 “Game of the Day” Apps for the Week of April 16th
As a service to our loyal readers we are providing this past week’s 5 “winners” in the competition to be named an “Game of the Day” by Apple.
An important note for our more “frugal” readers, while we know free games are great, bear in mind that devs have to make money somehow. Well-regarded games with download fees are frequently better deals than free games with ads and IAPs.
These games are typically very popular but sometimes iPhone games and iPad games are highlighted that have not yet achieved widespread adoption. This is your chance to see what games people are downloading, playing and talking about to see if you agree and if they have a chance of becoming your personal “game of the day”.
