Mostly games I expect but any random useful stuff really. I've only ever downloaded free stuff before.

I like puzzle/logic games, but would also get some for my 3yo if there is anything good for her age.

I've only had the iPhone a couple of months so I'm totally clueless!

Ones I've seen, and would like to know if they are any good -
Radio times
Sporcle

Erm... That's it Confused see? Clueless!

Marple is my favourite logic game, closely followed by Drop7 and Futoshiki. Also like deduce, wurdle Sky Patrol, numbaand Doodle Pro

Useful stuff-Keeper is a password store (so you only have to remember one) Labgency's ToDo Map, Weather Pro.

Marple is great! Just tried the lite version and will definitely be upgrading thanks :)

Which version of futoshiki do you have? I tried a lite one that is simple graphics on a brown screen, but didn't like it (the gameplay I mean, I love the actual puzzle)

I have the one by 9bit labs - the icon in the AppStore has a green puzzle in a circle with a dragon encircling it.

I have a couple of versions of the picross/ hanjie type puzzle, but most of them are fairly simple - the best one I've found is the CrossPix Magic, but I think that's only for the iPad.

But in looking these up for you, I've just found a version of the 'Mosaic' puzzles called SquareO, which looks good -haven't go time to investigate right now as I should be on my way to work, but I'll check it out later

Good fun games are Cut the Rope and Angry Birds (but they are addictive).

Slice it is fun - you have to slice a box in a way that gives equal sized pieces.

Beyond Ynth is good. I only downloaded it this weekend so don't know what the later levels are like.

For your 3yo - definitely Talking Tom, my DC are older but they love it and it is easy to use.

Another favourite is Cookie Doodle where you can "bake" your own biscuits.

Ah yes, cut the rope is good, I like the free levels. Angry birds I've tried too, don't get the big deal though tbh!

Couldn't find some of the games mentioned I guess that's because they are just for iPad. Envy

So far have upgraded lite versions of Sporcle, trainyard, subway shuffle and capitals quizzer, and got futoshiki. Still got £20 :)

Oh, and 'all in one logic box' which is really good.

So do I assume that I can use my voucher on iBooks too?
