All of your music is laid out across four separate tiles: playlists, artists, songs, and albums. You’re able to reorder tiles or disable those you won’t be using. Swipe to browse through each one, or you can search for something specific. When listening to your tunes, you’re able to perform different swipe, pinch, and tap gestures to control all aspects. The app also includes 11 themes to choose from, the ability to share what you’re listening to, and a customizable shake gesture.

Each level has a theme and a collection of letters stacked on top of each other. You must find and highlight themed words to remove them from the stack. If done correctly, your stack will collapse to create new words. Keep going until you’ve cleared every letter. Words can be created in all four directions. The game includes 22 themes and 220 levels.

Each puzzle presents you with a close up image of a common beverage. You must try to guess what it is using the letters provided to you. If you're unable to figure it out you can either skip it, remove letters from the pool, reveal a letter, or ask your friends on Facebook.

The idea is to come up with a list of things to do just today. Then start the 25 minute timer and concentrate on the corresponding task. When time is up, take a break and collect your thoughts. Then reorganize the priority list and move on to the next task. The app includes multiple task and break timers to choose from, stat tracking, and Dropbox support.

My Dashboard features nine customizable panels that can display your Facebook feed, Twitter timeline, RSS feed, calendar, clock and alarm, weather, Flickr feed, Instagram feed, YouTube feed, and even photos from your library. Just swipe left and right to access each panel. Panels have their own customization options and can be set to auto-refresh. The app also includes 36 background themes to choose from. Additional panels are available via in-app purchase.

Your child is put in control of two planes which are attached to each other by a rope. They must slowly but surely move each plane across the sky by attaching them to clouds. If one plane gets out of whack, both planes will be drug back down to the starting position. During their flight your child must try to collect all of the stars and eventually reach the other side while avoiding enemy planes.

Carl is back for more noisy fun! You’re able to speak into your iDevice’s microphone to hear Carl repeat your exact words. You can also choose from percussion, trumpet, and guitar instruments to have Carl play to your beat. Each instrument includes four different sounds, and you can just tap away on the colored bars at the bottom to play them.

You’re able to choose from a vast collection of eye, nose, hair, jaw, eyebrow, mouth, and facial hair designs. All of the designs are hand-drawn sketches, and you can change the color of each separately. You can also add all kinds of accessories, including hands with props that pop into the scene. When you’re finished with your creation, save or share it via Facebook or Twitter. The app also includes a randomize option and 21 paper styles.
