Who Was? Adventure has a rather unique mechanic for a trivia game. The heads of famous figures will drop down into the screen. It’s up to you to tap on the person described at the bottom as quickly as possible. Each correct selection will remove the head from the screen, freeing up valuable space. If you guess incorrectly, the head you tapped on will remain and more and more will fill the screen. Power-ups and other objects will also populate the screen. The game includes 85 levels, an arcade mode, and more than 4,500 questions.

AR Synth Music will help you put on a show. First, grab a crisp dollar bill from your wallet and place it on a hard surface. Then hold or place your iPhone about eight inches away from the dollar bill in landscape orientation. You’ll see virtual buttons appear all over the dollar bill. Simply tap and slide to play. The app has seven programmed sounds, a synthesizer, and eight keys.

Mr. White is an everyday cat that dreams of being something more. You must collect life changing data modules on your way through a colorful universe in order to allow him to change his form. The game features whimsical character and level designs that make it a joy to run, jump, and pounce on your enemies. Keep an eye out for hidden paths along the way because the data modules won’t always be in plain sight.

Arise will help you get things done. It presents you with two options: Instant Lift Off and Find Blocking Demon. If you are ready to roll and just need a pomodoro timer, go with Instant Lift Off. If something is blocking your brain, go with Find Blocking Demon. The latter option will help you identify your current demon by selecting from nine different options and then get you on your way. The app also includes the ability to send notifications to help stay in check, and adjustable sprint times.

White Noise allows you to browse through its collection of more than 50 looped sounds with a swipe. To save on storage space, the sounds need to be downloaded one by one. You can mark your favorites with a tap for quick access later on. The app also includes a sleep timer and an alarm.
