Why we picked this?

Send Red down each path by swiping, but keep in mind that his brakes have given out on him, so he's unable to stop and change direction. Pick up cobs of corn and exchange them for hints and power-ups. Finish levels as quickly and efficiently as possible to earn a perfect rating. The game includes 130 levels, all kinds of upgrades for Red, iCloud integration, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Tractor Trails varied puzzles and three-star rating system will keep you coming back for more.

Visually, Tractor Trails still holds up, but it is rather dated. If you have a new iPhone or iPod touch, you’ll have black bars running down the sides.

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.
