Robert Tubb The Wablet, 69p/$0.99

The Wablet is an iOS instrument described as a “physics based synthesiser and noise toy.” It’s controlled by manipulating and distorting and onscreen ‘mesh’ - which alters the waveform and envelope properties.

It comes with a Max/MSP patch for deeper use and added MIDI fun.
