Arrows is another classic puzzle genre, and has a reputation for being fairly tricky. Hopefully this one is an approachable introduction! (The interface can be tricky as well, so times are flexible.) ↖️ ⬇️ ↗️ ⬅️ ↙️ ⬆️ ↘️ ➡️ ⤵️ ⤴️ ↪️ ↩️ ◀️ ▶️ 🔼 🔽 ↕️ ↔️ 🔃 🔄 🔁 🔀

Rules: Place an arrow into each indicated space outside the grid facing one of the eight main directions. Each arrow must point to at least one cell inside the grid, and a number inside the grid indicates how many arrows are pointing at it.

Here’s a GAPP 101 with some useful advice: Look out for both maximal and minimal clues! It can be helpful to shade clues once you’ve placed all of their arrows.
