Adam’s Trouble Gets The Best Of You

By AppBite Team   January - 23 - 2010    See more Apps inApp Reviews, Games & Entertainment   2 Comments

Next up is a little puzzle adventure game that kind of reminded me of my Enigmo days. With Adam’s Trouble you play as Adam – a strange beige creature with curiously bulging eyes who can’t swim. He’s trapped in a creepy sewer and needs to get top-side ASAP if he’s to stay alive. Here’s where you come in and your goal is thus to make Adam jump from sewer step to sewer step, opening water valves until he opens the next escape hatch that leads out of this mess.

The challenge lies in moving fast and accurate as the water level rises and opening valves will make it rise even faster. Unfortunately, the only way to open the escape hatch is to turn on a few valves, so dexterity in controlling little Adam is the main requirement.

The little curious creature is butt-naked in the sewers, and you can even see his tail hanging from [...]

The Better Way To Digitally Store Your Moments

I believe we all gave a shot to writing and keeping a diary. For some reason or another, we ended up missing some days, then some weeks, and then we gave up on it completely. It’s hard to keep a notebook around with you at all times, and some things you just forget at the end of the day. This is where Momento comes in, and I hope you’ll give it a shot as well.

Momento is branded as an app that acts as your digital diary. It’s meant to store everything from what you enter into its journal to Flickr photos, social media activity and develop a fully searchable timeline of your entire digital life. Momento comes complete with features that let you add photos to your entries, so what you get is a little nice media-rich digital diary to keep your life in order.

All of Momento revolves around moments, as the app calls [...]

The Genius App That Lets You Multitask On The iPhone

If the iPhone can’t multitask, that doesn’t mean you can’t either. Back in the older days, I was always in the habit of texting while walking on the street. My Nokia 6300 was pretty reliable and one hand was enough to be able to type out correctly what I wanted. Upgrading to the iPhone meant getting rid of this habit of walking and typing on my phone. For once, you can’t do it with one hand. And then, you need to pay 100% attention to the screen and the virtual keys. For me, it was simply impossible.

Perhaps two years too late, but with great pleasure I can say that typing and walking is back in the books for me, thanks to Easy Walk & Type. This little gimmick for the iPhone will keep you and your iPhone out of harms way while allowing you to see where you’re going and type your SMS at the same time.[...]

Want Your Own Virtual Girlfriend On Your iPhone?

By Maria Poeana   January - 19 - 2010    See more Apps inApp Reviews, Games & Entertainment   5 Comments

First off, let me note I’m a girl and the last thing I want to see on my or my boyfriend’s iPhone is a virtual girlfriend. That being said it took a bit of patience for me to get over the fact that MyGirl is basically one hot chick that you can play with and that will actually respond to your actions. But I’m glad I did, because in a weird way, the app gives you some neat functionalities.

Now that all prejudice is out of play, I can tell you that I’ve enjoyed interacting with one of the truly hottest girls in the AppStore. MyGirl features a sexy top-model you can interact with in many different ways. In a sense, MyGirl does act like your virtual girlfriend and really behaves like one (except I’ve never seen her upset if you don’t give her attention every day).

Once you start up the application, you’re presented with [...]

Share Your Music With The World

Perhaps not a lab-tested theory, but music unites people. Artists have used their talents for social causes, wrote lyrics that appealed to a certain event, and created their fan basis in the process. We, the fans, will always socialize easier and better with like-minded people, people that share our music beliefs amongst other things. Why shouldn’t we take pride in what we listen to and share it with the world? Stage picked up on this trend and developed its own music player and social sharing app for the iPhone. You can share the music you’re listening to via Twitter, Facebook and even email, without ever having to leave the app.

First off, you should meet Stage – The Music Player. While it doesn’t aim (officially) to replace Apple’s own iPod.app, Stage acts as a music library for your iPhone. Start up the application [...]

More Than A Pretty Weather App

By Maria Poeana   January - 18 - 2010    See more Apps inApp Reviews, Sports & Weather   5 Comments

You’re probably wondering why reviewing another iPhone app that lets you check the weather? I mean, there’s already a plethora of similar apps, most free, that cram so much info in the home screen it’s mind blowing. If you take out the ones that are purely unattractive, minus apps that simply don’t provide accurate information, well, you’re not left with a lot of options for the iPhone. Enter Outside, a fresh new weather app that effectively combines a creative design with the accuracy of weather reporting. You’ll find yourself checking the weather status more than once per day, albeit just to see the great graphics.

I’m going to give you the low-down on this one. Outside will do nothing more that different from any other iPhone weather app. It tells you what the current temperature is. It tells you what the weather is [...]

A Finger-Numbing Game

By AppBite Team   January - 16 - 2010    See more Apps inApp Reviews, Games & Entertainment   10 Comments

Let me start off by saying I never really had the impulse to drag the toilet paper roll in one go, not even as a kid. iDragPaper for the iPhone starts you off on this presumption and even though it might lose a user or two, the game did end up in the Top Free Apps chart for last week.

iDragPaper doesn’t involve any gross action of any kind, relying on one simple mechanism: swiping. All you have to do is clear the toilet paper roll at once in the best possible time. There’s not much to it. As soon as you start the game, wait for the Go sign and then start swiping like a maniac up and down on the toilet paper roll you see on the screen until you see the Clear sign.

There’s a timer that counts you off, but the addictive part (yes, unfortunately there is one) is discovering new techniques on how to swipe fastest. [...]
