Sometimes to clear my head its fun to play on the ipad. I've played games like colour by number, crosswords, candy crush etc... are there any other apps you can recommend that are good just for 15 mins of chill time.
(I also walk, read and listen to music to clear my head but sometimes will choose to pick up the ipad)

Oh, and Monument Valley.

Adventure Escape by Haiku Games - escape room style with mini puzzles within. You can play without paying but sometimes have to wait for energy stars.

Also the Rusty Lake games - you pay for them but they’re worth it to me! They have free trial versions I think so you can try them out. Also sort of escape roomy.

In the same vein I’m playing RoomsAndExits atm but it’s hard to see details on my phone screen so I often miss clues.

Best Fiends is good for something a bit like Candy Crush!

If you like logic puzzles, check out Puzzle Phil - there are loads of different kinds, and they're updated daily, and it's all free!

Monument Valley is beautiful.

Yes to loads of the above. Also recommend Lumosity - the free version gives you 3 ingenious little brain training excercises each day or you can pay for more. Very nice graphics and challenging games.

I love an app called I Love Hue. It's colour sorting, which I find relaxing and it looks so pretty. You'll probably need your phone on high brightness so it does drain battery.
