App Review: Train Conductor 2

Guest Author ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Train Conductor 2: USA is by the developer The Voxel Agents. I saw this game sitting in one of the App Store’s many lists and looking at the 4 star ratings made me do one of those impulse buys that I’m sure you all can relate to.

The game begins with a short tutorial and within a minute or so I figured out what I had to do. The objective is very simple, you must guide oncoming trains to their assigned track without crashing into one another...

CustomBadges Allows for Something a Bit More Interesting

Jeff Benjamin ∙ December 7, 2010

Those red notification badges aren't the most exciting thing in the world are they? Sure, you might have a new e-mail, or there may be a new update to your favorite app, but they lack flair, they lack excitement!

What if you could change those badges into something more meaningful? Maybe a funny phrase, or your favorite proverb? CustomBadges, a tweak for jailbroken iPhones, allows you to do just that...

This iPhone Peripheral is Perfectly Suited for Blustery Days

Jeff Benjamin ∙ December 7, 2010

Alternative energy is all the rage these days. Whether it's solar power, water power, or wind power, if it's not plugged into the grid, it's a-ok.

The iPhone has already had its fair share of solar powered charging adapters, and even a few hand driven crank adapters thrown in for good measure; but a wind adapter? Thanks to inventor Tjeerd Veenhoven, the iPhone can lay claim to that as well...

Apple Feeling Generous With Free iTunes Movie Rentals

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

With the recent release of AirPlay, Apple is working on locking down your Apple TV inhabited living rooms, and what better way to show off the technology than by offering users a freebie?

According to a report from 9 to 5 Mac, Apple is randomly sending out iTunes rental codes good for any one of the 8,000 plus movies available on the iTunes store. Of course this totally coincides with the fact that the Apple TV 2 operates on a rentals based model, so this may just be Apple wanting more users to give their service a trial run...

Filopanti Does Simple and Pretty Time Zone Conversion

Alex Heath ∙ Updated November 16, 2017

Time zones are a pain. There are 40 time zones in the world, and 4 in the United States. There are so many instances when it's necessary to know what time it is somewhere far away. I've been looking for any easy way to convert time zones on the iPhone for a long time, and Filopanti fits the bill perfectly.

"Filopanti" is named after Quirico Filopanti, who was the first person in history to propose a worldwide system of time zones in 1858. Filopanti's interface is elegant and dead easy to use. With Filopanti, you'll never be wondering what time it is across the country or on the other side of the world...

ListLauncher Makes It Easier To Launch Your Apps From Spotlight

Jeff Benjamin ∙ December 6, 2010

I've always been quite partial to Spotlight, I use it all the time to launch apps that I have tucked away in a folder somewhere, and I find that it is an extremely effective way to use my iPhone.

With that in mind, my ears always perk up whenever a tweak makes a claim that it can improve Spotlight, and ListLauncher is one such app. Just how does it work, and does it really make launching apps faster?

Graviboard Confines Your iPhone to the Rules of Gravity

Jeff Benjamin ∙ December 6, 2010

The developer of Graviboard, a jailbreak tweak that brings gravity to your Home screen, claims that it is "guaranteed to amaze your friends..." That's a pretty lofty guarantee to make, especially when it costs a moderate $2.99.

Does the tweak defy gravity, and live up to its billing? We take a look inside...

Alex Heath ∙ December 6, 2010

5-Row Keyboard is a new jailbreak tweak that does just what the name describes: enables a larger, 5-row keyboard in iOS. All of the numeric keys are added to a top row of the iOS keyboard so that you don't have to constantly change the keyboard layout when typing numbers.

This tweak doesn't do much else besides what is obvious...

App Review: Hotel Mogul

Guest Author ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Hotel Mogul is by Alaware Entertainment and is actually the prequel to the game I reviewed a couple weeks ago, Vacation Mogul.

Determined to get her company back, she decides to make a new company to buy her old company back.

SBRotator Adds Landscape Mode to Your iPhone Home Screen

Alex Heath ∙ December 5, 2010

Most apps in iOS support both portrait and landscape mode. The iPad even supports portrait and landscape on the home screen. Apple has limited the iPhone's home screen to portrait mode only, but there is now a jailbreak tweak for adding landscape rotation to your iPhone's home screen.

SBRotator changes your home screen to match your iPhone's orientation, just like most apps will already do in iOS. If you have been dying to have this capability since you saw the iPad's rotated home screen, you should be very happy with SBRotator...
