Children whose parents wouldn’t buy them a Tamagotchi back in the 90s can finally live the thrill on their iPhones with Hatchi, the digital pet that can plays games with you.

Hatchi also comes with a variety of eggs so players can pick between several kinds of Hatchi and let your second-grade self live vicariously through your adult mobile device.

Few

Few is a camera app unlike the mess of filter-only programs built for pre-Instagram touch-ups.

Toy around with settings like white balance and exposure to perfect your digital photos and videos.
