  • Big Boomer's Sky Fishing ($2) is a game that has the user controlling Big Boomer the cat as he throws sticks of TNT at unsuspecting fish. Each type of fish is worth a different multiplier.

  • Darkness ($2) allows users to see the current moon phase along with the next three major moon phases, time for sunrise, noon, sunset, moonrise and moonset for any city in the world. Using the iPhones built in GPS users can also always quickly track the information for where they are.
