If you can never remember important dates like your friends’ and family’s birthdays, then perhaps it’s time to keep a handy notebook with all these and periodically check out when a birthday is just around the corner. Or perhaps it’s time to download Birthday Calendar Pal from the App Store and never miss another birthday again. The iPhone app will always know when your Facebook friends have an upcoming birthday and help you plan a wonderful birthday message ahead of time.

Birthday Calendar Pal only needs to connect to your Facebook account in order to pick up your friends and their birthdays. The app requires two permissions from you. One is to look through your list of friends. The other is to post a message on their wall on your behalf. Once you allow the app to do its thing, you’re set to [...]

With Plague Inc for the iPhone and iPad, you won’t really feel guilty about putting the entire world’s population to the axe. You’re not really playing God, maybe more of a bio-terrorist as you develop a new unknown virus and unleash it upon the world. The question is, can you infect the entire world and kill every single soul before the cure catches up to you?

You might have played similar games in the past. Plague Inc is very similar, but way better looking, to Pandemic, playable in the browser here.

Players will have to pick a type of disease in the beginning of the game and develop it to become the most effective and lethal plague possible, bringing about the end of humanity. Unless you spend some cash, you won’t have access to the entire array of diseases. You can only pick a [...]

There are so many food apps that you should feel inspired to cook or try something new every day. In theory. In practice, however, there’s never enough time to do so. And when you have the time to cook or the urge to try some new restaurant, you don’t know what to pick. Of course, Epicurious is always a great app to solve this problem. But it’s not the only one. Evernote Food is also an app that should be on every gourmande’s iPhone or iPad.

What I liked most about Evernote Food is that it’s not just a cookbook. Or a restaurant seeker. Or a check in and share your favorite meals kind of app. It’s all in one. And more.

With Evernote Food, the sky is the limit. You don’t have a list of dishes you can cook and that’s it. You have a multitude of recipes, each one directing you to another site, where you can find even more recipes to get you [...]

Three years ago, the most important dates of the year were friends and family birthdays, my birthday, of course, along with Christmas and Easter. That was until Game Of Thrones was released. Since then, the 31st of March is a day of joy and celebration. As it must also be for all of you Game Of Thrones fans out there. As for those of you who haven’t yet gotten the taste for Game Of Thrones, or didn’t have the time to enjoy the show, here are a couple of apps to get you on track. Especially since the third season is airing just about now.

The first thing you need to get a taste of Game Of Thrones is get familiarised with the characters, the plot, the surroundings. And that’s exactly what the creators of Kings Road Companion for Game Of Thrones must have had in mind when making this app. Learn about the most important characters of the show so [...]

I’m not into sports games. Mainly because I suck at them. In the real world, and the virtual one. So, I am pretty skeptical when it comes to reviewing a sports game. And if there was a game I hate playing most, that would be basketball. In the real world, I’m too short to play it. In the virtual one, I lack any sense of direction. But, I must admit I got pretty hooked on Real Basketball.

At first, I was a complete mess, as expected. I could appreciate the quality of the game, but my highest score was 8 points. And you get 2 points per score. So, you can only imagine how poor my game was. But then I decided to give it a try on the iPad, as well, and what do you know: I wasn’t a pro, but I was a much better player than I was when I played Real Basketball on my iPhone. Guess I needed a bigger screen to see things clearer. Either way, it’s pretty great [...]

Even if Google’s Chrome reigns supreme on my desktop computers, I’m a heavy mobile Safari user on my iPhone. It’s there pre-installed, it works fast and it’s reliable. Google Chrome adds a layer of pure beauty on top of what Safari has to offer and the only sacrifice you need to make is a second or two of browsing speed. Because iOS features a fast Javascript engine but it’s only accessible to the pre-installed Safari, Google Chrome has to rely on UIWebViews to render web pages. Even so, Chrome on the iPhone and iPad is faster than I expected and if that one extra second doesn’t bother you, then I’d pick Chrome over Safari any day.

Chrome on the iOS features Google’s beautiful flat design, distinctly different than mobile Safari. The iPhone and iPad versions are nearly identical, with the iPad allowing more screen real estate to enjoy [...]
