Did you know that CTREX Pro Subscribers can “bookmark” reviews for future reference? While logged in, click on the star next to any title. This will save the review to your profile page. You can view your profile by selecting the icon with your username in the top-right. Bookmarking has been available for a while now, but now you can create your own folders to organize your bookmarks into as many lists as you want. You can even print these lists or export their data. Need to find a handful of titles on a certain topic? Create a new folder and move your bookmarks to it. The next time you need to compile a list, your old bookmarks will remain separate. Using this new tool, you can use CTREX to manage your research more flexibly.

Twenty one "problems" wait to be fixed, in four zany cars designed with typical boy and girl (pink and ribbon) themes. After you choose a car, you see the problems for each, highlighted. There's a lot of sorting, connecting wires of the same color, connecting circuits, patching leaks, tracing a path to fix a fan belt, and so on. Each time you solve a problem, you earn a badge which is saved from day to day. Innovative features include tilting the screen to pour the oil, and turning your screen upside down to look under a car on the lift. We also liked some of the underlying concepts in some of the games, like connecting paths to complete circuits, the introduction to oil and pistons, the parts of a wheel, replacing windshield glass and so on. There are different difficulty levels and no high scores. When all the activities are complete, you start over. This is a fast, fun, irreverent app with some hidden surprises that encourage frequent visits; in other words, you'll get a lot of mileage out of this well designed app.
