MicoquiMi Coqui plays relaxing coqui sounds with faint rain in the background to help Puerto Ricans living abroad fall asleep. You can play the coquis endlessly or set a timer to put them to sleep after they've helped you doze off. Now you can finally close your eyes and imagine you're back in "La Isla del Encanto". Use it for a quick siesta or for a deep night's sleep.

Rockus ABC's
Hot Apps Contest
Winner
Rockus ABC's is a fun way to entertain young children while educating them about the letters of the English alphabet. It is similar to Rockus Animals, except it teaches about letters instead of animals. There are two modes to choose from. Browse mode is a standard flash card system, displaying a full screen image of a letter and an object that starts with that letter while the letter's name, sound, or both is spoken. Which audio gets played can be set in preferences, as can the case of the letter (upper, lower, both). To hear the sound again, simply tap the screen, or swipe left or right to change letters. Challenge mode involves selecting which letter was heard from four displayed images. Both modes have many optional settings such as: disable gestures, which if on means you must type "back" or "end" to exit Browse or Challenge scenes; Auto-advancing Browse mode to entertain the really young toddlers and babies; Browsing alphabetically or randomly; Tap advancing to next letter; or automatically replay audio in challenge mode, to name a few.

Rockus AnimalsRockus Animals is a fun way to entertain young children while educating them about the sounds of animals. There are two modes to choose from. Browse mode is a standard flash card system, displaying a full screen image of an animal while its sound is played. To hear the sound again, simply tap the image, or swipe left or right to change animals. Challenge mode involves selecting which animal was heard from four displayed images. Both modes have many optional settings such as: Auto-advancing Browse mode to entertain the really young toddlers and babies; Tap advancing to next animal; Only playing the sound with a tap (so the child has time to guess the sound before tapping to hear it); or hide an animal catagory (like "wild"), to name a few. If you like this app, be sure to check out Rockus ABC's, a similar app focused on the letters of the alphabet.

Rockus Holdem CalculatorThe Rockus Hold'em Calculator is an application used to calculate odds in the poker game Texas Hold'em. It can calculate the odds at any point in the hand: pre-flop, on the flop, or on the turn. For a single player it calculates the odds of achieving a particular hand, such as two pair, and for multiple players it calculates the odds of each player winning or tying. Calculations are done on a remote Rockus server, therefore an internet connection is required to use this app. Despite the remote call, calculations are almost always completed in under a few seconds, even while not on Wi-Fi or EVDO.
