Apple has just named “Toca Nature” its App of the Week for this week. This means that from now through next Thursday, you’ll be able to download the award-winning education software for both iPhone and iPad for free—a great savings of $2.99.
Geared towards kids, Toca Nature allows you to shape nature and watch it develop. Want to grow your own forest? Go for it. Want to create a mountain range and enjoy the view? You got it. Plants, animals, landscapes and more are at your disposal.
From the App Store Editors’ notes:
Mold the world to your liking with nothing but a finger in TOCA Boca’s inspiring app. Create mountain ranges, carve out lakes, and grow forests—then watch as animals populate their new homes. Gorgeous polygonal visuals make the whole experience mesmerizing, and creating a lively ecosystem is the perfect way to teach kids about animals’ natural habitats.
