Another app that I want to highlight; it's one that's free, and I use every day, and it represents one of the things that I think can be great about apps.  It's the NY Times' crossword puzzle app.  Now, their app gives you access to their full crosswords if you pay for that, but what I love using it for - which is completely free - is their "mini" crossword puzzle of the day.  I often solve it in under a minute, but it's a great way to kickstart my brain in the morning.  It's a little miniature dose of fun, like one of those Andes' mints they put on your pillow at a hotel.  A little miniature and predictable delight.  Check it out; it's available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, just search for the NY Times Crossword.  And, of course, if you're a crossword person you might even be interested in the full crossword.
