Detective Sherlock Pug and the Case of the Skindiver is easily the most vibrant and out of this world hidden objects game you’ll find in the App Store. It combines a crazy story about a detective pug who has called upon the city’s superheroes to stop a dangerous villain with comic book inspired hidden objects scenes. Each scene requires you to discover a specific amount of objects in order to move on to the next, but you can do it at your own pace. Hints are available as well, and you can zoom in on the scene using the usual pinch gesture.

Beams of light are constantly moving about the screen. You're able to interact with them by tapping and dragging your fingers all over the place. You can switch between the five modes and toggle other options on and off in real-time to see how they affect the pattern. The app includes TV-out support, multi-touch support, and the ability to save your favorite patterns to your photo library.

Your little builders are going to adore this entertainment app. They’re able to choose from 10 different planes including themed versions for various holidays. Once a plane has been selected it will be broken up into pieces. Your child must drag and drop the pieces into their proper places in order to put it back together. When the plane is complete it will take off through the air and they can try to build another.

You're able to search for specific dinosaurs alphabetically by name, or you can filter your results by the time period they lived in, what they ate, or their size. Each of the over 200 dinosaur cards includes their name, classification, measurements, description, location, and photos. The app also includes an interactive map, and a quiz with three difficulty levels.

As the beat is played, colored buttons will pulse and be added to the bottom of the screen. It's then your turn to repeat the sequence in the proper order before time expires. Miss a note or run out of time and you'll lose a life. Lose all three and it's game over. The game includes more than 300 melodies and beats to play, three instruments to choose from, and leaderboards via Game Center.
