The days of the cigarette smoker are almost numbered. This generation will more than likely be the last where it's a natural thing t buy a packet of smokes after school given the massive worldwide anti smoking campaigns, rising prices, restrictions on where you can smoke and packets that feature grotesque pictures of dying patients. That's all very well for the youngsters who won't take up  smoking up in the first place (and good on them) but what about the long term addicted smoker? They need all the help they can get to kick the habit. KwitHD is a health and fitness app for iOS that ...  More

Yesterday we reviewed the first edition of a new interactive 3D storybook application called Pilo. Pilo is a beautifully animated and multi award winning iOS app that, while looking great, is a real winner because of its storyline as much as its look. Now comes the second release in the series. Pilo2 still carries the same stunning 3D animation but this time the action is in the form of puzzles, music and more interaction to capture a child's attention. Choose a character, dress them up, play musical instruments and get them to dance just by tapping on them. This multi award winning ...  More

Somehow, up until now, the concept of fishermen and a social network didn't quite sit right with me. I don't know if it's the fact that fishing is an outdoor activity and the complete opposite of the original idea f the social network. But with the explosion of the mobile and tablet phenomenon everything has changed now. Now fishermen can sit proudly alongside workers, photo enthusiasts and students in having their own network. Fishfeed Mobile is a community where you can do all those things that a network does including sharing videos and photos with other fishing enthusiasts.   If ...  More

While games like Sudoku have totally revolutionized numerical brain training there really hasn't been anything take off in the same way when it comes to word games. Scrabble, Pictionary and the cryptic crossword still rule the roost in my house, that's for sure.

So it's very pleasant to find a game like Anagrams HD - iBrain being released for iOS. For the uninitiated, anagrams are those tricky little word puzzles where you ...  More

Confetti HD is a challenging new fast paced and fun game for older kids. This colorful logic-based board game for iOS requires you to gain points by collecting the right combination of three cards and complete your set. Sounds simple enough? ...  More

It's often said that critics are simply failed performers who got out of the bed the wrong way before they saw the film, played the game or visited the restaurant but that's not really fair. There are some great reviewers around these days with a pure passion for the things they love - but they are getting few and far between. Personally, I have a rule that I never review anything that I don't like, whether it is an app, a movie or a piece of music. But, with everybody seemingly having an opinion about everything these days, it seems the most reliable form of reviewing might well be by ...  More
