Five For Friday: Week Of May 18
It's a varied selection for this week's Five for Friday. We're covering stuff like a convenient and quick-to-respond note-taking app, a fun music-making app for kids, and a Hidden Object game based on a classic piece of literature. Without further ado, let's take a look at what's on offer and get on with enjoying the weekend!
Inkflow
At first glance, Inkflow looks to be a pretty run-of-the-mill note-taking app. It very nearly is but its great benefit comes from its speed and precision. Writing or sketching with a finger is frequently a little sluggish, but with Inkflow, there's hardly any lag at all. Extra functionality comes from the ability to create numerous pages of notes for later reference.

Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Anthologies
A Hidden Object game based on Pride and Prejudice? Yup, that's exactly what we have here. Keeping closely to the plotline of the book, the game offers a great new take on the classic novel. It's quite delightful to look at and offers some fun, casual gaming.
