The Things application for the iPhone is another way to keep your work and personal tasks organized. It syncs with the Things application for your desktop so you can stay up to date on the go. There are many ways to view your to-dos, by Today, Scheduled or Project. If you select project, you can see all of the to-do’s associated with a specific project. Things marked in yellow are what you’d like to get done today. To-do’s marked in red are due today. Check the box once you’ve completed the task. Slide the task to the right to delete it from your list. Press edit, and you can move your list around based on their priority. Click on schedule and you can see all the to-do’s you’ve got coming up. All of your to-do’s can be labeled with tags, and due-dates. You can even email yourself or someone else a reminder note. Keep all your to-do’s organized with Things.

If you’ve ever wanted to get in the cockpit and fly an airplane, this is one of the cheapest ways without having to get your pilots license. With Flight Tracker you can turn the sounds on or off, then start your game. The goal is to safely land all the planes without them crashing into each other. There are three different aircrafts that you have to guide to their respective runways or helipads. There are large pink planes, smaller orange aircrafts, and blue helicopters. Tap your finger on the aircraft that you want to land and drag it to the same color coded landing area. Helicopters go to the blue helipad marked with an H while the pink planes land on the longer airstrip, leaving the orange planes to land on the smaller runway. The game gets progressively harder as more planes and helicopters come on to the screen. Keep the planes out of each others paths, because when they crash, your game is over. Better luck next time!
