Why we picked this?

We’re recommending Pepi Doctor today because it’s not only fun, it’s educational! Your child is able to choose from three sick little patients: Amber, Eva, and Milo. They will have to cure five different illnesses using more than 20 different tools. Helpful outlines will appear in case your child doesn’t know what to do with the tool in question. When a patient has been cured, they will give a smile and some applause.

If you have a child between the ages of three and six, download Pepi Doctor. Even if they aren’t afraid of going to the doctor or dentist, they’re going to have a lot of fun playing the mini-games.

If you have an older child, there’s just not enough content here to keep them engaged.

What’s fun, challenging, and free to download today? Ok, that’s not exactly a riddle, but you’re going to have a blast solving them in Hi Guess the Riddle. Each level presents you with an interesting riddle, and you must use the pool of letters at the bottom of the screen to solve it. If you get stuck, you can choose to skip the level, remove letters from the pool, or ask your friends on Facebook. But you have a limited number of each, so try as hard as you can before giving in.

If you’re looking for a way to get your brain juices flowing, Hi Guess the Riddle will do the trick. It features a variety of common and not so common riddles that will surely stump you.

If being stumped doesn’t sound like fun, you can skip Hi Guess the Riddle. Right around the third round of riddles things get pretty difficult, and you may find yourself sitting on the same riddle for a while.

Why we picked this?

Games on iOS don’t get any more premium than this. Your job is to jump, slide, kick, and spring through three eye-popping words filled with 30 regular levels. Once you’ve mastered the controls, go ahead and try the 12 challenge and 15 retro levels. And, unlike most mobile games, you'll want to pay attention to the storyline because it’s filled with hilarious dialogue and top-notch animations.

If you’re looking for a new AAA title to play on your iDevice, check out Bit.Trip Run. It’s a total blast to play and a treat to listen to the thumping tunes.

If you’re not a fan of challenging platformers, Bit.Trip Run probably isn’t for you. It does have checkpoints, so all of your progress won’t be lost even if you have a difficult time getting the hang of things, but it’s no walk in the park even with them.

Utilize your visual and audio senses to find the hidden energy dots in Game of Senses.

This totally unique puzzle game is for anyone who wants to stimulate their senses.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Game of Senses is exactly what mobile games should be. It’s easy to pick up and play, and totally impossible to put down. The idea is to discover the hidden energy dots within the darkness by dragging your finger across the screen. Audio and visual cues will help you hunt down the energy dots, so keep your eyes peeled and your headphones cranked up. You have a limited amount of movements you can make in each level, and you absolutely can not allow your finger to leave the screen. Otherwise it’s game over.

If you’re tired of the same old puzzle games, you have to check out Game of Senses. It’s unlike anything you’ve played in the App Store.

If you’re not into casual, stress relieving, minimalist puzzle games, Game of Senses just isn’t for you. Instead, check out today’s Bit.Trip Runner.

Collect your thoughts and turn them into tasks with Dooo.

It’s for those who need to capture and organize their thoughts no matter what they are.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

Dooo does what other task management apps can’t: A little bit of everything. There’s no one way to utilize Dooo. Just capture thoughts as they come naturally. You’re able to jot them down, speak them, snap a photo of them, or even sketch them out. Your thoughts can be organized within different groups, and you can set priority levels to ensure things get done. The app also includes the ability to set reminders, passcode protect your lists, and attach location data.

If you’re a doer, you need to check out Dooo. It will help you get your thoughts organized and get them done.

If you don’t need your task management app to do a little bit of everything, skip Dooo. Some of its more ambitious ideas simply get in the way of getting things done quickly.
