I’ve seen my share of photo apps that make use of the iPhone’s camera. I’ve even been satisfied with some of them so much I’ve used them instead of using the regular Camera app from iOS. Right now, I think all these are ready to be replaced by the new ProCamera iPhone app. It’s all I’ve ever needed in an photography application, and even though I take photos only for fun, I see the tremendous potential it offers to more advanced users. I’d go so far as to say professional photographers.

ProCamera comes bundled with a whole bunch of features, and even though it’s not the point of this review to go through all of them, I’d like to take a few moments to list some you’re bound to use every time.

Apart from the usual zoom-in, zoom-out, a self-timer or capabilities such as auto save or geo-tagging, ProCamera comes with an [...]

RotationRuler turns your iPhone into a ruler that works, but not everything that works, works well. Sure, RotationRuler gives you the right result, after all, Math doesn’t lie, but how you get to that result is also important.

I took a simple example to put RotationRuler to the test. I wanted to measure my Apple Wireless Keyboard. One way to do it is to take a ruler and measure it. The other way is with RotationRuler. RotationRuler offers two options for your measuring pleasure. You can measure by rotation or by slide. Additionally, you can select to see the result in inches or centimeters.

When measuring by rotation, you take your iPhone and place it on its side and press Start within the app. Next, you have to roll your device from the start point of your measurement to the end point, essentially completing several 360 degrees rotations along the track

Are you looking for a simple fast-paced game with minimal control-usage? Are you into cars but don’t like racing games? Then City Traffic might be a good pick for you. In City Traffic, available both for the iPhone and the iPad, your task is to make sure that all the vehicles in the busy intersections in four different cities around the world cross the intersections safely.

Yes, if this game seems pretty similar to Traffic Rush, it’s because it is. The same basic rules apply here as well. Tap and swipe to control the vehicles in traffic. Make sure the intersection is clear so that vehicles can move about their way. Avoid all crashes at all costs.

You have two options when directing traffic. You can either stop the car completely, by tapping on it, or you can speed it up, by swiping it in the direction desired. Any vehicle that’s stopped won’t stay stopped [...]

While I don’t understand why people would post all the crap that they do on their Facebook wall, I do see the need for a tool that controls who sees what you’re posting and for how long that post should appear in your feed. Enter Poof Pro, a tool that promises to give you back full control of your Facebook feed.

With Poof Pro you can set expiration dates for uploaded pictures and posts and limit sharing to smaller groups, instead of everything being visible to everyone.

Since Poof got me intrigued, I decided to give it a go and shared a moment in my life on my Facebook wall via Poof. I opened up Poof Pro, and the app kindly asked me to login to Facebook, which I kindly did. All the app’s options became available to me now. I went straight for the “Status” icon and updated my status to: “Trying out Poof Pro on my iPhone.” I set [...]

Travel to the beautiful south Korean island of Jeju with this wonderful picture book.

Are you up for a challenge? Wait, don’t answer just yet! PowerDown is not your everyday puzzle. It will wear you down, while pushing your mental abilities to their limits.

PowerDown is inspired by the famous Lights Out puzzle game. I’ve personally never played Lights Out before, so I have no basis for comparison, perhaps it’s for the best. I’m usually disappointed by remakes.

The idea of the game is to turn of all the lights in each level. The lights are represented as white, glowing cells on a 5×5 grid. When you start a level, a number of lights are turned on already.

The rule of thumb is that tapping on any one light (that’s on or off) will toggle that cell and its four immediate neighboring cells. So tapping one cell can either turn off lights or turn on lights, or both, and in here lies the challenge.

In order to win a level, you need to shut [...]

Hazard might just be the simplest game in the App Store, but that doesn’t make it any less addictive. The goal in Hazard is to keep Harry, the construction worker, safe. The ceiling is about to collapse and you must get him to safety before it squashes him.

The way to keep him safe is to find the gap that could fit him and put him there before the ceiling collapses. Both the ceiling and the floor have gaps of various sizes. You must think quick to get him to the one big enough to fit Harry inside and live to see another level.

You only have three controls available to you. Left, right and jump. Harry will do the rest. Like squashing and bending to fit in the hole you put him in. It’s absolutely amazing how flexible this guy is, so don’t be fooled by the potentially small size of the hole. Generally, if the ceiling and the floor don’t touch [...]
