The Habit Factor is by and large one of the most useful productivity apps in giving yourself a fighting chance to succeed in forming positive habits. This is not a GTD product, rather it’s a self awareness app that helps you set goals and assign the habits to make those goals a reality. It does [...]
Smartphones have allowed many workers to transition themselves into on-the-go productivity machines. And while the iPhone’s built-in Calendar and Reminders apps work wonders, they’ve left plenty of room for improvement for third-party developers such as Plan2Go and their Day-Timer scheduling productivity app. With the ability to get an overall view of your entire schedule (tasks and events) and [...]
Rescue the hostages, save the world. Or at least the hostages. Zombie: The Rescue is an action puzzle that gives you a third-person view of the playing field, which is laced with zombies hungry for brains. I’m still intrigued about how many games there are within this genre. Even more surprising is how games such [...]
Crystal War Blood Field is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that is the sequel to Crystal War, which became quite popular among mobile gamers. The one thing missing was the ability to game against other fans. Now, by popular demand, multi-player in real-time is available. Even better, the iOS game still delivers on all facets, [...]
Budgeting in the current economic times is essential to making every dollar count, but tracking every one of those dollars can be cumbersome. Sure, we all know we should budget, but let’s face it, it’s not the most exciting task. One app that makes it bareable is aFinance Budget 3 and almost makes number crunching [...]
A few years ago, I offered English lessons via Skype to anyone wanting to improve their conversational skills. I spoke to a wide range of people, including a student from Japan, a businessmen from India and a mom in Spain. It was a lot of fun and it would have been extremely expensive had I [...]
Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode HD brings me back. Seems like just yesterday I set down Altered Beast and took on this new superhero that collected rings, defended against evil and rolled up like a ball and flew around the screen like something I’d never seen before. I cannot even begin to think about how [...]
The New Year brings all sorts of things to mind such as giving more attention to being physically fit. Of course, don’t forget being fiscally fit too. Budgeting is or should be a key factor in anyone’s resolution and one such app that can help is Checkbook HD from iBearSoft. One of the most important [...]
Ever since I’ve started working from home my music library has shrunk and my time on online music streaming services have increased. One thing I like about Spotify is the the ability to play the music from your friend’s playlist. I love being able to checkout their playlists for something refreshing. Another service I recently [...]
Excruciatingly difficult. So addictive my fingers are now bleeding. I wish the disc gun had never been invented. These are just a few thoughts running through my mind when I think about Super Crate Box. The 8-bit sound and blitzkrieg type movement is evil, but feels so right. It’s a symphony of tiny chaotic jitters [...]
Throughout my short, but travelled life, I’ve yet to find anything better for oneself than a bit of time alone. I’m sure just about everyone out there who’s coming down from the holidays is thinking to themselves how great it is to have some peace and quite. To help get a little bit more out [...]
If you’ve every worked with video, you know that it can be quite cumbersome to capture, edit and then output something worth keeping. Sure, capturing isn’t too hard, just open your video camera app, push record and voila. However, editing is another story and until recently hasn’t had too many options available that were quick [...]
One of the most frightening aspects of a film such as Saw is the thought of being tied up or restrained with an abysmal amount of chance of escaping. The idea that a film like this could be entertaining baffles me, yet I’ve watched almost the entire franchise. That’s why when I found out about Curio, [...]
I know… another note-taking app right? Wrong. Draw Pad Pro is much more than the run of the mill note-taking apps that have seemed to overrun the App Store. One extremely useful feature is the ability to upload and trace a photo directly within the app. Think of how useful this would be for graphic [...]
From watching my older brother use firecrackers to destroy my G.I. Joes into smithereens to watching MacGyver whittle a roll of toilet paper and a paperclip into a door shattering bomb, I was always intrigued with blowing things up as I was growing up. This hasn’t stopped, trust me, I have a movie collection of [...]
