At the beginning of each game you’ll see a pool of letters that you're able to make words with. Words can only be created if they are four letter tiles long or longer. The thing is, you’re competing with your opponent to make words from the same pool of letter tiles. Not only that, your opponent may steal your words if they’re able to add to them. As letter tiles are grabbed from the pool, new tiles will be added until the timer hits zero. The player with the highest score at the end of the round wins. Coins can be earned from completing objectives and winning bets, which can be spent on all kinds of different power-ups. The game includes loads of single player objectives, loads of stats, and local and online multiplayer.

Your library is presented as one big wall of album art. You're able to sort the wall by either artist or album. Just tap on an album to bring up its song list and start playing music. You can also control every aspect of the app with gestures, like tapping and dragging your finger down sections of the screen to control the volume, view the song you're currently listening to, and search through your library.

SnapPen is remarkably easy to use. You’re able to import a photo from your library or take a new one within the app. You can then scribble all over your photos using one of five fluid pens and two pen sizes. Zoom in to add more detailed strokes using common pinch and tap gestures. An eraser is also available in case you make a mess along with unlimited undos. Your unique creations can be saved to your library or shared via Messages, AirDrop, email, Twitter, or Facebook.
