Without wishing to get excuses in early, today's selection of new apps are all iOS. That's not deliberate on our part: we scan the new apps on all the rival stores every morning as part of the research for this post, and it just so happens that today was quiet for those rivals, and very busy for the App Store.
Toca Robot Lab
Toca Robot Lab is the latest delightful iOS kids app from Swedish studio Toca Boca (see our interview for more on the company's philosophy). As the name implies, this one's all about building robots, with a construction mode and the ability to test-fly them.

Quiz Climber
Relentless has released new iPhone game Quiz Climber, a social trivia game with new question packs promised every fortnight to keep it fresh. If Relentless sound familiar, it's because they were behind Sony's Buzz! games. This one's published by Chillingo.
