Hey guys,
For those of you who are iOS users, do ya'll have any hidden gems on the App Store you'd like to recommend. I've been looking for neat games, but the charts are always topped by meager apps. I'm really trying to find some original and interesting.

Android user myself, so I can't help with IOS specific games.

Megacity HD - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/megacit ... ?ls=1&mt=8
Is a space management puzzle game. The idea is to get to as high a level as possible with filling spaces with various buildings that change the board in different ways.
There is a web based version it here if you want to try before you buy - http://www.kongregate.com/games/colepow ... -deluxe-hd

Quell+ - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/quell+/id383027157?mt=8
Is a straight up Logic Puzzle, There are two other games in the series if there isn't enough puzzles for you here.

Triple Town - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/triple-town/id490532168
You might have played this already, but in case you haven't I will leave it here.
This is Match-3 Space Management game. is a must have not played it before if you haven't played it before.

Tend to forget IOS only games that interest me as I don't have an IOS product.
But I liked the look of http://symmetrain.com/

You can obtain this game on both iOS and Android: Puzzles and Dragons! - It's almost like Pokemon mixed with a fun puzzle/matching game. The more you match, the harder your monsters will hit!

I tend to play a lot of boardgame iOS remakes so here are some of my favorites:

1. Ticket to Ride - Gather points by completing routes across the USA Map (you can also purchase new boards for Europe, Sweden, and Africa). Turn based online and local competitive multiplayer.
2. Pandemic- Solo or Coop (local only) game where you are trying to prevent global viral outbreaks. Very challenging.
3. Elder Sign: Omens - Lovecraftian themed dice game. Solo or Coop play (local only.) Also very challenging.
4. Neuroshima Hex - Tile based strategy combat for 1-4 players. Local and online multiplayer.
5. Lords of Waterdeep - Multiplayer resource management game. Dungeons and Dragons theme. Local and online multiplayer.

There's different Kingdoms which could be considered different servers. You can switch into new Kingdoms until your Stronghold reaches level 5. When you start you automatically get placed in a newish Kingdom.

Be careful! Get into an alliance quick or you will be squashed. Make sure to locate far away from any clusters of big alliances. Btw I am in the alliance Legions of Doom (#11 alliance in Kingdom). Good luck!

Not sure about iOS, but I think these games are on there. I play them A LOT on my Nexus 7 (android tablet)

1. Marvel Puzzle Quest
2. The Blockheads
3. Samurai Siege (A lot like Clash of Clans, but by far a more mature audience and a lot more enjoyable to play)

I THINK all 3 of those are on iOS. I know The Blockheads is, and it's pretty addicting...it's voxel game and pretty much Minecraft in a sidescroller set up...so kinda of a mash up between Minecraft and Terraria but very much a portable game meant for smartphones and tablets.
