Number Rush mimics the classic pencil and paper counting game. Your objective is simple: discover consecutive numbers among the randomly placed jumble as quickly as possible. You’re able to play freely, compete against the clock, or take on a friend on the same iPad. The game also includes Game Center leaderboards.

Kaomojis can be used to express yourself in vastly different ways. The best part is, you can send them to anyone on any device since they are entirely text-based. You’re able to browse through the 28 different categories and more than 1,000 emoticons with a swipe. When you’ve found the one you want, just tap on it and it will be copied to your clipboard.

MusiClock features an innovative design that will help anyone learn notes, keys, and scales without any prior music theory training. You’re able to choose from eight scales and dozens of professional backing tracks. Then hit the play button and start jamming to the music. The app also includes an interactive piano, and a staff with notes and scales.

StarTracker allows you to point your iDevice at the sky and see what stars, constellations, and deep sky objects you're staring at in real-time. The app includes full gyroscope and accelerometer support, over 8,000 stars, more than 100 deep sky objects, 88 constellations that are sketched out in the sky, and much more.

It’s difficult to find mobile games with great gameplay and fantastic art direction, but somehow the developers of Crowman and Wolfboy have packed both into their platformer. The game’s starring characters, Crowman and Wolfboy, run in tandem, and it’s up to you to control all of their movements. You’re able to jump, fly, climb, smash, and change directions with simple swipe controls. Try to collect light orbs to push back the darkness while going on the hunt for the items hidden all around the eerie worlds.
