I have been searching the App Store for the perfect IMing client for my iPhone, so I can still be in touch with my friends on the go. The search has finally ended. What did I find? Beejive IM for the iPhone. It contains a beautiful mix of elements that makes an app great [...]
The day the whole tech community was waiting for finally arrived yesterday, and it became clear within minutes that the hype exceeded the reality. The famous Apple iPad was born and its announcement led to the immediate crash of almost all tech sites and blogs, not to mention Twitter completely buckling under the pressure of 170,000 iPad tweets per hour.
It’s that time again, time for a review of a new Twitter Android app. We have reviewed Seesmic, which we loved, then we reviewed Twidroid Pro, which we loved even more, and now we are reviewing Tweetcaster, which we love the most. So, what is so special about Tweetcaster for Android? Well, if I had to sum up the app in one sentence, I would say it is so nice that it looks and acts like it belongs on the iPhone, not an Android phone. The UI is truly stunning, the experience is unbeatable, and the features are many.
There are all different types of mobile apps out there. There are apps that offer a wow effect when showing them to your friends. Then there are apps that offer a fun and completely pointless gaming experience. There are apps that actually help you develop skills and there are apps that help you communicate. Now that I managed to sound like an Apple commercial, I will get to the point.
Often, imitation is a form of flattery, which is seen here, in the application Harbor Master for iPhone. It replicates the basic concept shown in Firemint’s hit game, Flight Control, and adds it own touch to it.
The main concept of Flight Control is chaos management, which is exactly what Imangi Studios brings us, except in [...]
I have to be honest here. Although I have seen Viigo in almost every single top 10 list for BlackBerrys, I never tried it till this week. The reason it took me so long is that I have been using a different app for my data consumption needs. Snaptu had everything I needed in an RSS/social networking/utility app, and not only have I been using Snaptu regularly, but it is one of the 8 icons on my BlackBerry home screen.

The smartphone market is not what it used to be. Manufacturers and mobile software companies are facing a lot more competition then they used to. Consumers now have a whole lot more selection when it comes to choosing a smartphone. As a result, all smaprtphone makers, both software and hardware, are stepping up their game. Except one. RIM.
Are you looking to give your brain a big squeeze? Enjoy puzzles, riddles, challenges? Looking to take all this mobile, on your iPod Touch or iPhone? Ragdoll Blaster for the iPhone does exactly that, and at $1.99, it doesn’t cost much either.
The actual interface of the application itself is not anything special. The good thing [...]
Putting aside the fact that my day job is writing about and working with the foreign exchange (Forex) market , knowing the value of the world’s currencies is always useful information. As I was thinking about what app I was going to review today, I had a realization. It occurred to me that with the tremendous number of apps on the various platforms, it is extremely difficult to hear about any app that is not in the top 100 list, does not get publicity on the social channels, or is not sent to me directly from the developer. So, I thought to myself, how can I hear about apps that people enjoy but are not widely known?
