GeoSociety for iPhone Review : a perfect Pokemon alternative

, Feb 23rd 2012 Discuss [7]

Recently we’ve heard a whole lot about the epic release and defamation of Pokemon Yellow for iPhone, a game that turned out to be a scam and was thusly removed from the market. Because this game became so popular it reached the top 10 in the iTunes App Store before it was removed from the market, we decided to go on a hunt for the best Pokemon alternative on the market instead. Turns out there’s one that stands out above the best – not necessarily because it commands its own genre, but because it replicates the original Pokemon game so precisely!

Dash Race for iPhone Review

, Feb 17th 2012 Discuss [1]

The game Dash Race is just about the most unique racing game you’re going to find on any platform – and I say that having played my fair share. What you’ll do in this iPhone-based pencil and grid racing game is draw lines from one square to the next, each player taking turns to see who can best the other in their mathematically calculated set of turns and straightaways. This game is derived from a game that you may have played while wasting time between classes in high school – in this case you won’t have to do any of the calculating yourself (unless of course you want to.)

WinZip for iOS Review

, Feb 17th 2012 Discuss [5]

It’s time to make the opening of ZIP files easy, finally, on the the iOS platform for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. This application takes files that have been compressed with the .ZIP file extension and opens them up for you – but more than that, it’s able to show you what’s inside without you having to run the files in other applications. In the example we’ve got here, a simple image is sent in a .ZIP file through email, opened in the basic Mail app, and the image is previewed inside WinZip.

Pinterest for iPhone Review

, Feb 16th 2012 Discuss [7]

As the sharing environment and website known as Pinterest gain heavy steam in the art and design community around the world, it’s only natural that the developers behind this already massively successful platform would create a mobile app. It’s the iPhone 4S we’re taking a look at Pinterest’s version 1.4.2 app with, and it’s the iPhone that this app is made for. What you’ll find is that not only do you have most of the abilities you’ve got in the web browser version of this app at your disposal, the fact that you’ve got Pinterest in your hand rather than on your computer screen makes it more entertaining than ever before – and that’s saying something, Pinterest is addicting!

QuickShot with Dropbox for iPhone Review

, Feb 13th 2012 Discuss [0]

The app you’re about to see a very brief review of requires little introduction and only a small explanation as it’s only got a couple of functions, and it does them well. This app is made to do three things: capture video, capture photos, and upload media to Dropbox. This app does this uploading function in a unique manner as we’ve seen no application work with Dropbox in the background as effectively or in as perfectly simple a manner as we’re seeing here – it just works!

Monsters Ate My Condo Review

, Feb 13th 2012 Discuss [0]

The game known as Monsters Ate My Condo is a $0.99 masterpiece from both developers PikPok and the fine folks at Adult Swim Games. If you’re prone to seizures, I must warn you to steer clear of this beast, but if you’re a lover of games whose creators clearly spent thousands of sleepless nights perfecting in both form and aesthetic grace, you’ve got a winner on your hands. It’s all monsters and keeping your tower afloat by feeding pieces of it to the monsters from here on out, folks, have fun!

Tweetbot for iPhone Review

, Feb 9th 2012 Discuss [0]

If there’s one reason to continue using Twitter outside the desktop environment other than your all-consuming addition to checking updates, it’s Tweetbot. The little robot bird that sits on your iPhone’s display begging you to tap, showing you that using Twitter can actually be more fun on the iPhone than it is anywhere else. This app uses a selection of gestures to allow you to interact with each Tweet, has a perfectly excellent aesthetic to the entirety of it, and has customizable tabs to make your experience just what you want it to be.

iPad 2 Griffin DJ Cable and djay app by algoriddim Review [Video]

, Sep 5th 2011 Discuss [1]

You’ve heard the rumors, seen the videos, you may have even messed around with a DJ sort of app on an iPad before, but here it is – this is the real deal – here you go. What we’re looking at here is two bits of awesomeness, together combined to create one “it just works” sort of digital DJ situation. First there’s the djay app developed by algoriddim. This is an app that displays for you two tracks of music (or any sort of audio) that you can control with what everyone knows to be modern DJ controls. Equalize, mix, record, and play. And you can do it all with the hardware bit of this equation: the Griffin DJ Cable. Plug the cable into your iPad 2, start up the djay app, and you’ll be on your way to not just blasting out audio, but previewing it as you connect one of your two new ports into your pair of headphones, the other connected to your fabulous gigantic speakers.
