iPhone App Review: Moto X Mayhem

Guest Author ∙ January 6, 2011

Moto X Mayhem [iTunes link] was developed by Occamy Games and is an exciting 2D Dirt Bike side-scrolling game that brings a fun concept through simplicity.

The concept of the game is really simple. You control a BMX Biker and must get through 4 treacherous campaigns in the quickest time possible. To control your Bike, you must accurately Throttle, Break, Leaning Forwards or Backwards to continue your trek forward.

The buttons for these controls will be on the left and right of the screen, or you can use the accelerometer for learning forward/backwards...

A Strange New iOS Alert References The Mac App Store

Alex Heath ∙ Updated March 18, 2019

Here's a new anomaly from Apple's App Store. This image is courtesy of Francis, an iPhoneItalia reader. Francis was casually looking through the reviews of an iPhone app called "iAddebito." He tried to post his own review, but was alerted with this warning message.

If your Italian is a little rusty, we understand. The message reads, “You must own this product to write a review. To write a review on this app, you must have bought it from the Mac App Store."

The Mac App Store is opening tomorrow, but it seems that Apple may have already been secretly testing it with certain iOS apps. Who knows, perhaps there will be iOS apps that can run cross-platform (iOS and OS X) when the Mac App Store opens...

Even the LA Lakers Aren’t Immune to the iPhone’s Alarm Clock Woes

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated December 1, 2022

Now this is just getting down right embarrassing. CBS Sports is reporting that several members of the Los Angeles Lakers -- including star center Pau Gasol -- woke up late as a result of the iPhone's infamous alarm clock bug.

Perhaps lack of sleep is a good excuse for the lack of effort we've seen from the Lake Show as of late. Needless to say, Steve Jobs can't be happy about this.

Sure, it's okay for normal people to oversleep, but when your state's flagship basketball team begins to feel the impact, you've got some real issues....

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated March 9, 2016

Now this is one iPhone accessory that I could definitely grow to love. Introducing the Hive dock from Screendoor studio - a unique dock capable of cradling the iPhone in either portrait or landscape mode.

Just what makes this dock so unique from every other dock on the market? We'd love to tell you, but only video could do this one justice. Take a look inside for the full lowdown...

‘RoundCorners’ Blesses iPhone Owners With a Well Rounded Experience

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 5, 2011

Remember the good ol' days when half of the picture on your TV was cut off due to the rounded corners of those old TV Tube sets? I always despised that, and rejoiced when I scored my first flat-screen TV that eliminated the rounded corner problem.

If your childhood was devoid of such fond memories, fret not my dear friends! Now, with this latest jailbreak tweak entitled RoundCorners, you can live back in the 90's as well...

AdBlocker is an Easy to Use Ad Blocking Solution for Your iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 5, 2011

I've never really considered ad-blocking a feature I needed to have on my iPhone, and after using AdBlocker, I still feel that way. That's not to say that AdBlocker is a bad jailbreak tweak, in fact it is excellent at some of what it does.

My point stems from the fact that ads just aren't that big of an issue on the iPhone. Honestly, when was the last time an advertisement on the iPhone seriously annoyed you?

In fact, the main place where I find ads that annoy me is in Cydia, but ironically enough, AdBlocker doesn't have an option to block ads in Cydia...

Creating Folders on Your iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 5, 2011

It's hard to believe that there was once a time when iPhone owners had to do without folders. To make matters worse, iPad owners are just recently reaping the benefits of folders.

Prior to this revelation in organization, our apps were scattered across screen upon screen, making it extremely difficult to find a specific app quickly.

If you're new to the iPhone, or just need a brief refresher course, this iPhone Basics tutorial will explain how to use and manage your folders properly...

The iPhone is Leading the American Smartphone Race

Alex Heath ∙ Updated November 12, 2019

Apple and Android always duke it out in smartphone statistics. The latest Nielsen market share data says no differently.

From a poll conducted in November of 2010, U.S. smartphone market share is dominated by iOS at 28.6%. iOS is followed by Blackberry at 26.1%, and Android at 25.8%. These numbers are U.S. only, but it is interesting to see how iOS and Android are battling for smartphone dominance.

Depending on how you look at things, the iPhone retains the lead in smartphone market share. However, Android is having greater growth with new smartphone adopters. This means that more people are buying an Android for their next smartphone, and not the iPhone...

Resistance Was Futile: Garmin Finally Launches GPS iPhone App

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated October 10, 2018

I don't think there was any question as to if Garmin would release an iPhone app, it was more of just a question of when. After dragging their feet for what seemed like an eternity, Garmin has finally released its first iPhone navigation app, entitled StreetPilot.

Is it too late for the company who is widely considered to be the best manufacturer of stand alone GPS systems, or can they sway customers away from Navigon and TomTom?

Steve Jobs’ New Year Resolutions

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated April 18, 2016

A new year is always the right time to make resolutions. I personally stopped making resolutions years ago because I wouldn't stick to them. Instead I now make predictions, but that's a different story. It seems that Steve Jobs does however make resolutions, and plenty of them.

Scribbled on a Starbucks napkin, Steve's resolutions for 2011 were acquired by the Scoopertino's Team, after a rough battle with Gizmodo, which of course laid down the money to get it first.

At the top of the list is the resolution to keep the Verizon iPhone myth going...
