Baby's Musical Hands
© 2011 Streaming Colour Studios
Sometimes an app is good because of what it doesn't do, instead of what it does. Consisting of nothing more than three rows of five brightly colored musical squares, this app turns your iPad screen into a colorful music exploration experience. The red squares (the top row) make drum sounds, yellow squares (the middle row) play whole-tone piano notes, and blue squares (the bottom) play whole-tone guitar notes. Every touch equals a responsive burst of sparks, so you really feel like you're making something happen, and the multi-touch is active, so you can hit several keys at once, if a whap is more desired than a touch.
