Lovely – Find Homes and Apartments for Rent update (Free)
What’s it about? Search for places to live around you with Lovely, and get notifications whenever a place goes on the market in you preferred area.
What’s cool? Finding a place to live can be really difficult just because of the amount of ground to cover. In markets like cities where rental space is often in high demand, that can mean missing out on a great place because someone else snaps it up before you knew it was there. Lovely works to take that guesswork out of when places become available by allowing you to search for apartments and houses, and by sending you notifications when new places become available so you’ll know immediately. Lovely’s newest update lets you save your renter qualifications into a card that you can quickly share with landlords when you apply for a place, share listings with other users, and more.
Who’s it for? If you’re looking for a new place to live, Lovely will give you a leg up on the competition.

Blastron (Free)
What’s it about? Fight friends and robots in Blastron, a turn-based side-scrolling strategy game in which you play a robot that has to blast other robots.
What’s cool? After being built to wage war on behalf of humans, and then having destroyed all humans, the robots of Blastron are bored – so they’ve started blasting each other. Players get to control and customize their own robots, fighting turn-based battles across various side-scrolling levels. You’ll move your robot around the stage, which has vertical obstacles, platforms and cliffs to vary the terrain, and then engage each other with various weapons. The idea is to carefully strategize to make your moves and attacks as effective as possible. Blastron includes a single-player mode and a multiplayer mode that pits you against players from all over the world.
Who’s it for? Players who like their strategy violent and two-dimensional will have some fun with the robots of Blastron.
What’s it like? Blastron bears a lot of similarities in game play to Worms 2:Armageddon and Fragger, so check them out for more strategic experiences.
