Play as Lum, the face of light, and possess and purge the approaching creatures by drawing the symbols that they have on them. The dark creatures will attack from both sides, so you have to make quick decisions and draw with precision. If one touches Lum, the game is over.

The game includes 40 creatures to conquer, boss battles, the ability to customize Lum, iCloud support, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

It allows you to create panoramic photos and videos with your eyes closed. Literally. Just place your iPhone upright on a smooth surface and allow Cycloramic to capture your panorama for you.

If you want to manually capture your panorama, there’s a guided mode available as well. The app includes all kinds of additional editing, filter, and sharing options.

This slick looking app is able to keep track of any event down to the second. You're able to view all of your tickers in basic list form or you can view them in full screen. Tickers can be edited and removed from your list at any time, and can include notifications and a photo.

To start an activity, all your child needs to do is choose one of the three pets. Each pet includes their own unique activity. The puppy needs your child to match food to the shape before it can be eaten. The kitten needs them to count and fill a tray with food.
