Gaming apps for most of us are nothing but tools to spend time when we are super bored. Do we imagine any other use that apps could possibly have?

Apps, come in all shapes and sizes. They are designed keeping in mind a supreme purpose say entertainment or to develop intellectual skills of the player. That's how much thought designers put into a app while developing it. For us, it a just a touch or click game.

In view of such apps-of-purpose, we stumbled upon one such app - Freerice, that is serving a great cause for the sake of humanity. All one needs to do is play, earn points as rice and contribute to the World Food Programme.

We are on a roll really here. Let's just call it a summer special.

With the scorching heat taking its toll, be it home or office, everything seems uninteresting. Stepping out in the sun is not an option for kids. So what happens when the child feels he's endlessly struck at home? How can he bide his time creatively?

This is what got me exploring apps that are creative, fun and easy to understand. I found Draw A Stickman EPIC just then. To describe the app simply, it brings together a sense of adventure and creativity, hones your drawing skills and makes you think too. Now that's nothing short of a package deal, rig ht?
