Words With Friends has undoubtedly become one of the most popular cross-platform mobile games over the last few years. The Scrabble-like title allows users to pair up with both friends and strangers to see who has the biggest vocabulary.
The game follows all of the typical word-game guidelines. Each player gets 7 lettered-tiles, and garners points for using them to make words on a playing board. Typically, only real “dictionary” words are playable. That is, unless you have this tweak… Read More
Every now and then an app comes out that just makes sense. Most apps have their quirks, but few are able to, in the words of Steve Jobs, “just work.”
We told you about Instacast when it originally launched on the iPhone, and Instacast HD has just been released for the iPad. If you like to listen to podcasts, Instacast is the app you’ve been waiting for. Read More
Today I’m reviewing a personal assistant for the iPhone, and its name isn’t Siri.
Alfred is your intelligent assistant for wining, dining, and generally having a good time. The app answers questions like, “What should I eat?” and “Where should I party?” Alfred learns over time, and pretty soon you’ll find that the charming little robot knows more about yourself than you do.

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m terrible at Minecraft. In fact, I’d never played it until just a few hours ago when I downloaded it on my iPhone.
Needless to say, you Minecraft experts will probably find this video a bit humorous, perhaps even a bit appalling.
Nevertheless, I’ve put myself out there in order for you to see what Minecraft – Pocket Edition is all about. Check out our video inside… Read More
For over a year and half, the iPad has undoubtedly been the king of all tablets. With virtually no competition, it wasn’t too hard for Apple’s tablet to eat a large chunk of the market in a space where no one else seems to get it.
Enter Amazon and the Kindle Fire, a tablet running a version of Android completely tailored to Amazon’s needs, so much so that it doesn’t have anything to pinpoint it as an Android device but the OS name.
The Kindle Fire is officially launching tomorrow, and, as usual, a few tech gurus have had access to the tablet a few days before everyone else. The reviews are coming in, and it’s not as pretty as you’d expect… Read More
I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing several great music player apps in the past, including one of my all-time favorites, NowPlayer. The bar has been set pretty high, and a new app, called Reprise, stands out among the competition as a beautiful and powerful music player for the iPhone.
Reprise is centered around shuffling your music. You can easily queue up music to shuffle through, and share what you’re listening to on Twitter and Last.fm. A pixel-perfect design adds new flare to your iPhone’s music library. Read More
While Apple’s Photo Stream is a great way of getting photos to sync across multiple devices, there’s one glaring problem. Photo Stream doesn’t support video, presumably because Apple doesn’t want its servers full of hours and hours of 1080p videos showing cats sleeping.
It makes sense from a technical standpoint, but that doesn’t help you if you need to get a video from one device to another. There’s syncing with iTunes, and doing the iPhoto jig in the hope that everything works as planned, but it’s a pain, and not always practical.
That’s where PhotoSync comes in… Read More
You may have noticed a colorful game by the name of Whale Trail moving up the charts in the App Store lately. Developed by ustwo, Whale Trail is a unique take on a familar genre of slide-scrollers that have continued to do so well on the iPhone and iPad.
Like Tiny Wings, Whale Trail has you tapping and holding your screen as you fly through a beautifully designed universe. After only being on the App Store for a little over a week, Whale Trail has already been given the Game Of The Week title by Apple… Read More
We’ve all had those situations when we’ve received a text message that we don’t necessarily want anyone else to see. The problem is that such a message always seems to come through when your iPhone on a desk, or on a table in plain sight.
So there you are, your message pops up along with the sender’s name and, if you have default settings turned on, a preview of the message’s contents.
A new jailbreak tweak allows you to minimize such embarrassing situations by giving you control over what iOS shows when you receive a new text or iMessage, and it’s called LockMessages… Read More
If there’s one thing we all love, it’s Twitter. There’s just something about those short little bursts of wisdom that compels us all.
If you’re an iPhone user, you’re certainly not short on choice when it comes to Twitter apps for your beloved phone, so you don’t need another one, right? Well, if it offers something a little different, you just might.
Instatweet does just that by giving users a fast way to send out tweets in iOS 5…
