For most of us, the App Store is all about Games, Books, Entertainment, Social Networking, some Utility apps, plus Travel and Food, when you’re planning a trip or a night out. I really don’t know if any of my friends have any Reference apps on their devices. And to my shame, I must admit for a long time I didn’t even know there was a Reference category in the AppStore. If only I knew about these apps when I had to write my Dissertation Paper. Researching would have been so much easier.

There are a lot of interesting Reference apps. From search engines to all sorts of dictionaries, guides, and an extremely cool family tree app, I found everything here extremely useful. But what caught my eye was a dictionary. Imagine that! Something so ordinary as a dictionary. Except there’s nothing ordinary about Dictionary.com Dictionary and Thesaurus for [...]

I come across addictive games all the time. But I always find the strength to stop playing, write a review, and carry on playing afterwards. This wasn’t the case with Pudding Monsters. Thank God I didn’t have enough battery left on my iPhone to play the whole game, or else I wouldn’t be here, writing this review. I’d probably still be playing Pudding Monsters like a maniac.

Pudding Monsters is your regular puzzle game. The goal: create one gigantic pudding monster by sticking every piece of pudding on the board to one another. The idea of the game is pretty simple. So is the game play. So are the controls. So is the goal. But not so much for the game. In fact, Pudding Monsters is pretty strategical.

For each level in Pudding Monsters, you have to move your puddings around the board and stick them to each other. When you’ve stuck all the [...]

Right. So we have Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, Tumblr, and a slurp of others. Another one can’t hur right? That’s what Path said 2 and a half years ago. It wasn’t wrong. A beautiful UI, a great concept, people flocked to it. Fast forward to the present, and Path is dealing with a privacy hell storm. Users reported that the app emailed and called their contacts without their consent. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Instatim aims to swoop in and get the laurels when it users talk privacy.

In case you were wondering, Instatim is an iPhone app that proposes yet another social network, one that’s more personal, more private. You can share simple updates (your status) and availability (busy, not busy or don’t know) with your selected friends picked up from [...]

Loving Instagram? How about a sharing more than just photos? Videos you’re saying? Why yes. Vine to the rescue. With Vine, you can easily share short snippets of your life in motion. The app is free to donwload, you have unlimited free downloads, and pretty much all the functionality you would expect from a trendy social networking app, including following people, sharing, interacting with other people through comments and likes, hashtags or editor’s picks (which is another way of saying featured vines).

Vine has one of those interfaces that tend to get out of your way. Less is more and this is especially true with Vine. To start shooting a new video, press the video button and start filming by touching the screen anywhere. As long as you keep the finger pressed to the screen, the video will continuously shoot. Lift your finger and the video stops. As soon [...]

People don’t buy as many magazines as they used to. Whether we have become more eco-oriented, or it’s just easier to get our information online, or both, these are the facts. So, whenever I pass by a newsstand, I can’t help myself from thinking: how long until all these magazines will become extinct? The answer: probably never. At least, not as long as you have all your favorite magazines at your fingertips, just by using cool apps like Readr.

Readr is more than just your basic virtual newsstand. With Readr, you can purchase your favorite magazines, but also go through them at no cost, for a limited period of time. You have all the magazines you can imagine lined up for you. You can create your own library, where you can stack all your favorite magazines, without having to keep them piled up in some corner in your home. And that’s not [...]

I must admit I really envy people who take pleasure in running, or working out, in general. Or those who can eat whatever they like, whenever they want to, and just don’t get fat. They don’t have to worry about keeping a diet, or lose their breath after running less than a mile. Oh, how I wish I could be one of them. But, for the rest of us, there’s My Fitness Pal. Just the friend you need to help you get rid of all those extra pounds.

I first came across My Fitness Pal over a year ago. The idea of the app got me really excited, and since I was in need of a diet, I tried it. And it worked! That is until I lost my way again, started eating all sorts of junk food all day long, relying on the fact that I had already lost the extra pounds, so what harm can one bag of chips do? So, today, as I came across My Fitness Pal again and recovered my previous [...]

Every week, there are tons and tons of games released in the AppStore. Unless you’re watching the AppStore 24/7, it’s impossible to keep track of them all. And even if you can easily discover the New & Noteworthy games in the designated section in the AppStore, who has the time to do this on a daily, or even weekly basis? So, in case you missed this month’s new & noteworthy games, here are 5 of them that we really liked.

With Injustice: Gods Among Us, it was love at first play. The name of the game and the icon were enough to make me download it. And even now, after playing the game almost every day, I still can’t believe it’s free.

From the amazing graphics to the extremely intuitive game play, Injustice is probably the best game released in April. The plot is simple: you have a team of 3 superheroes, and your goal is to beat other [...]
