Dominoes Pro HD is a dominoes game for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It is free and was developed by Maysalward.
Gameplay
This game is pretty straight forward: it allows you to play against three other computer Dominoes players. There are also some cool perks that let you swap bones (Dominoes) between yourself and your opponents and X-Ray vision. These perks can be purchased using in-game coins which can either be earned or bought using an in-app purchase.
Gamers can also select their desired theme for the style of their surface and Dominoes. As you advance through this game you earn new titles, XP points, and achievements.
This game has a really great graphic interface and it is easy to get into playing it even if you’ve never played Dominoes before. It would be more fun if you could invite your friends to a match by playing against them locally or over the internet.
Conclusion
If you like playing Dominoes or puzzle games, then you could give this game a try. While it may have a good graphical interface and is fun to play, it doesn’t necessarily have anything that makes it stand out from any competitor apps. After a while this game ceases to be fun since you’re always playing against three computer Dominoes players and the perks make it really easy to cheat.
So even though you could give this game a try if you’re into Dominoes or puzzle games, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it.
Adaptxt Keyboard is a free keyboard that is available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It was developed by KeyPoint Technologies and can only be used by devices running iOS 8 and above.
Features
This keyboard is really easy to enable on an iDevice, as is any other 3rd party keyboard. You simply navigate to settings, keyboard, and then tap on “add new keyboard.” As soon as the Adaptxt Keyboard is enabled, you’ll be able to switch to it by holding down the earth icon on your regular iOS keyboard.
This keyboard has a glide feature that lets you swipe across the keyboard to type out words rather than having to tap on individual virtual keys. Since the Adaptxt Keyboard has access to every single key you’ve ever pressed in the past, future, and present, it can help you type quicker by predicating what you’d type.
If you always text back “I’m having a great day for example,” the next time you text “I’m having” the Adaptxt algorithm will know to suggest the word “great.” By simply tapping on the word “great” you’ll be able to type out an entire word without ever having to swipe or tap individual letters for it. It is essentially typing out words with a single tap. You’ll be surprised how little you’ll be typing after Adaptxt learns your patterns and allows you to type half of the time by just tapping on the words you want to use.
Adaptxt also support various languages, is really effective at auto correcting, and has two themes available.
While trying out this app I was not able to get prediction, auto-correction, or glide features to work. I am running the app on a stock iOS 8 iPhone 6 16GB, and even rebooted the phone to try and troubleshoot. Nothing would make the features of the app work. I did get to use the prediction on an iPhone 5s running iOS 8 though.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a free gliding app, or want better auto-correction/prediction than Apple offers, then this is the app for you. It should work for most people and their operating system even though I was experiencing difficulty with it.
2048+ is a very popular game for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It was developed by dbw and is 100% free to play.
Gameplay
In this game you swipe left, right, up, or down in order to move tiles around a 4×4 board. When two tiles of the same number touch, they get added together. The board starts off with two number-two tiles for example. If you slide to the left, then the tiles will be pushed into the same left row regardless of where they were on the board.
Each slide adds a new number two tile to the board. So once the two number two tiles are slid into each other, they become a number four tile and then another number gets added to the board.
After number four tiles slide into each other, they become number eight tiles and so forth. When all the tiles on the board are filled up and there’s no other sliding move to be made, then the game is completed and you’re told the total that your tiles added to.
The point of the game is to be able to create a tile that is 2048, but once you beat the game you can go beyond this number.
Conclusion
If you haven’t yet heard about 2048 or haven’t had a chance to give it a try, then you should definitely download it. This game will be loved by just about anyone that enjoys playing puzzle games but many people of any age or gaming preference will be able to enjoy it as well.
Although I’ve personally seen many friends play this game to a combined total of hundreds of hours, I can’t personally say I enjoy it. I get the idea behind it, the challenge, and how it’s rewarding, but I have never been able to play it for more than 30 seconds without deleting it from my phone. *Disclaimer* I never enjoyed games like Flappy Bird either.
Craving Candy is a game for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This game was developed by Andrew Jackson and is free to play.
Gameplay
Craving Candy is a very flawed game which is not enjoyable and impossible to play. Depending on the angle which you tilt your phone by, the mouth on screen will move left and right. The point of the game is to only eat the candy falling through but since the movement of the mouth is so slow, it’s impossible to get farther than five seconds into the game.
The collision detection of this game is one of its biggest problems. When the non-candy objects are falling down, they will register as being “eaten” by the moving mouth even if they weren’t truly close to the mouth.
There’s three different levels, easy, medium, and hard. Easy is really difficult and has no lives. If you miss one fruit, the game is over. If you eat one non-fruit, the game is also over.
Conclusion
Don’t download this game unless you want to play a truly unplayable game. If anything, Craving Candy is just a rip-off of Fruit Hoops Free.
Textkraft Professional is one of the best word processors on iOS. It costs $9.99 and is available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Features
This app is so feature-full that we won’t even be able to cover all of the features it has available. While writing a word, you can look at the predicted words which you might want to tap on to write out instantly. You can also select any word and have it defined via Wikipedia or Wiktionary. Not to mention that words can be translated directly within this app.
Textkraft Professional also lets writers capitalize all of the letters in a selection of words, delete words in front of the cursor (versus erasing going backwards), insert checkmark boxes, wrap selected words in symbols, insert symbols, and share a paper.
The text editor also makes it easy to style font to be bold, italic, underlined, subscripted, highlighted, bullet-listed, and even header styled. With the selection feature, it’s also really easy to select text by words, sentences, or paragraphs. The selection feature also makes it easy to copy, cut, and paste selected text.
There’s also the movement slider which lets you move between characters and words, as well as scrolling, by simply moving the slider. The sentence and page up and down buttons let you move to the next sentence and page as well.
Users of this app can also protect their work using a passcode. They can even save their files to the cloud and access them from there as well.
Some users have been complaining about the new version’s theme updates and other problems they’ve had with running the app. Personally, I think Textkraft Professional looks great and functions just as well.
Conclusion
If you need a text editor you can trust, then Textkraft Professional is highly worth it. It’s pretty much as useful for a phone or tablet user to own as it is for a computer user to own Microsoft Word
WorldRelay Tuner is a television and radio app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It is free and was developed by WorldRelay.
Features
In theory this app sounds very great: it lets you access small TV and radio channels, live cams from around the world, and various video libraries. In practice, this app is not very useful and it has an unappealing user interface.
If you were to choose the “activism” genre in this app for example, you’d see a list of channels which consists of one channel titled “Autism TV Network.” Upon tapping on this network, there’s not even live TV being broadcasted. The “network” is just a selection of YouTube and Vimeo videos. While it’s not quite clear where there’s only one channel under “activism” and why that channel is about autism, it’s even less clear as to what the benefits are of using this app versus just searching for the videos you want to watch on the internet.
The other channels are very low quality channels and provide no value to the user.
Conclusion
Although this app sounds like a great way to watch television on your phone, it’s far from that. WorldReplay is very clear in its App Store description that it doesn’t broadcast high quality pirated cable channels, but instead it broadcasts “micro channels that are unique.” None of the channels I viewed using this app are unique or interesting, so it’s probably a safe decision to pass up on this app.
Tally Board is a game developed by Runar Trollet Kristoffersen. It is available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch for free.
Gameplay
In this game the objective is to add and multiply as many numbered tiles as possible. There’s three modes of this game and those would be small Board, Big Scores, and Tough.
In big scores the board is five squares by five squares and there’s a few numbers scattered across. If there’s a 4 and a 10 sitting next to each other for example, they could be swiped across to add up to 14. If another 14 tile isn’t present on the board however, 4 and 10 won’t be added together.
Swiping over three tiles quickly will push all the numbers across the tiles in the direction of the swipe. A swipe to the left for example will bring all of the numbers on the right columns to the far left. After the numbers are settled in one side, then a new number will be added to the board.
Numbers are continually added and multiplied across each other until there’s no more open tiles left for new numbers to be added to. Once all the tiles are covered, then the game ends and the player sees their score according to all of their tiles added together.
Mission Accomplished
The dynamic complexity of the adding, multiplying, and moving of tiles in this game make it really enjoyable. Not to mention that there’s also super-powers such as undo, hint, and swap tiles which let the player gain an upper hand over the hectic board.
Room to improve
The graphical interface seems a bit too rugged and the artistic style doesn’t seem consistent.
Conclusion
If you like games like 2048 or 3’s, then you are going to likely enjoy Tally Board. Unlike the other games which are limited to just adding, Tally Board breaks through by also allowing multiplying. With a lot more tiles to work with, and the ability to get high points due to multiplying, this game is a must-try for the average gamer.
Features
I would just like to say right off the bat that this app is completely useless and easily the worst app I have used in my entire life. It costs $.99 and all it does is let you tap on 27 different domestic, jungle, and ocean animals in order to hear the sound they make.
The Good
Nothing. Really nothing.
The Bad
The app description claims that the animations are “high resolution animal animations,” but the truth is that you’re getting a terrible (and choppy) cartoon animation style along with the worst “real” animal sounds imaginable. Not sure if this app is meant for entertaining kids or pets, but it looks like it would fail at both.
Conclusion
Even if this app was 100% free I would see no reason to download it in a million years. Well I could see one reason, and that would be so that you can truthfully brag to you friends that you have the worst app ever made on your phone.
Features
This app makes it easy to reconnect with friends that are in town or nearby. As a user of this app you can add a “hop” which is a status update at a certain location, along with an icon, that invites your friends to hangout. Friends can then like that status update and join the hangout by tapping on a heart and checkmark icon.
Friends can be invited to use this app using your Facebook contacts or your phone’s contacts. After they get the app and you can see their location when they post a hop, you can also communicate with them straight through the app. At any point of using HopOver Nearby Messenger, you’re able to disable your location sharing and keep it private. Unlike other apps that make it difficult to tell if your location is being shared or not, HopOver is very simple to navigate and understand.
Mission Accomplished
On HopOver you can edit your profile, follow others, add places to your profile, and view your hops. The user interface is colorful and fun to use, and everything about this app is nothing but perfect.
Conclusion
HopOver takes the cake when it comes to GPS-powered communication apps since it functions more like a social network than a GPS-contact directory. It’s free too, so getting a bunch of friends to download this app and use it regularly will be simple.
However, there is always the fact that hanging out can be done by just getting in touch with friends via iMessage or SMS. Whether or not such an app is required is up to you and your friends.
